Car Accidents in Utah
Orem’s local roads, including East Canyon Parkway, have become increasingly busy as the city grows. According to data from the Utah Department of Public Safety, local collisions are a common occurrence during weekend afternoons, when residents are out running errands, traveling to events, or returning home. Crashes in these areas often stem from lane changes, failure to yield, or distractions behind the wheel.
While the physical injuries from a crash may heal in time, the other effects can linger much longer. Here are some of the unexpected consequences victims often deal with after an accident:
- Shifted Family Roles: When someone is injured, household duties often need to be redistributed. A parent recovering from injury may not be able to manage meals, transportation, or childcare, causing disruption to normal routines.
- Frequent Time Off for Medical Needs: Crash-related injuries often require more than just one ER visit. From imaging and lab work to therapy and check-ups, the number of appointments can interfere with work and personal commitments.
- Difficulty with Physical Tasks: Lifting groceries, climbing stairs, or even walking unassisted can become painful or impossible after an accident. These everyday challenges often go unrecognized but significantly affect independence.
- Unexpected Childcare or Transportation Costs: Injuries can force families to pay for help they didn’t need before, such as babysitters, rides to school, or delivery services. These extra costs can add up quickly.
- Lingering Psychological Impact: Even minor accidents can leave emotional scars. Many victims experience stress while driving or develop anxiety about returning to normal routines, especially if they were involved in a frightening collision.
