Car Accidents in Utah
Across Utah, crashes occur every day—especially during late-night and early morning hours when visibility is low and fatigue may be a factor. According to the Utah Department of Public Safety, thousands of injury-causing accidents occur each year statewide, many of which involve high speeds or impaired driving.
In serious vehicle collisions, a variety of injuries may result. Here’s a look at the most frequent types:
- Whiplash and Neck Injuries: Sudden stops or rear-end impacts often lead to whiplash, straining muscles and ligaments. Symptoms might not appear right away, but they can cause persistent discomfort and limit mobility.
- Back and Spinal Injuries: Even in low-speed crashes, victims can suffer herniated discs or spinal trauma. These injuries frequently require physical therapy or even surgery.
- Concussions and Brain Injuries: A blow to the head or jolt from an accident can cause concussions or more severe brain trauma. Cognitive issues, memory loss, or dizziness may persist long after the accident.
- Broken Bones and Fractures: Common in head-on or T-bone crashes, broken limbs, ribs, or hips can take months to heal and may prevent victims from returning to work or daily routines.
