Car Accidents in Utah
Every year, thousands of car accidents occur across Utah. The Utah Department of Public Safety reports a significant number of crashes annually, many resulting in injuries that require medical and legal attention. Increased roadway activity calls for extra caution from drivers at all times.
Knowing the most common injuries sustained in crashes can help individuals seek appropriate care. Some of the common injuries include:
- Soft Tissue Injuries: Strains and sprains, especially to the neck and back, are common even in minor accidents and can result in long-term discomfort without proper treatment.
- Fractures: Broken bones, particularly in the arms, legs, and ribs, frequently occur in collisions and often require lengthy recovery periods.
- Head Injuries: Even with airbags, head trauma such as concussions or more serious traumatic brain injuries can occur and should be evaluated immediately.
- Spinal Injuries: Damage to the spinal cord can lead to lasting effects, including mobility issues or chronic pain.
- Facial Injuries: Impact with steering wheels, dashboards, or airbags can cause cuts, bruises, or fractures to the face.
- Internal Injuries: Damage to organs may not be visible right away but can pose life-threatening risks if not diagnosed promptly.
