Car Accidents in Utah
Car accidents are a daily occurrence across Utah, particularly in cities like Orem where population growth and traffic volume increase each year. Collisions often lead to not only physical injuries but also long-term challenges that affect everyday life. Intersections like 400 East Street see a high number of accidents due to traffic flow, nearby businesses, and turning conflicts.
One area often overlooked is the impact of an accident on a person’s work and income. Here’s how accidents commonly affect a victim’s livelihood:
- Time Off Work for Recovery: Even moderate injuries may require days or weeks away from work. Whether you’re an hourly employee or salaried, time away can mean lost income and job insecurity, especially for those without paid leave.
- Job Restrictions Due to Injuries: Physical limitations from injuries may prevent a return to the same duties. Some workers are forced into reduced hours or lower-paying roles while they heal, impacting long-term earnings and career progression.
- Loss of Employment Benefits: For some, missing work due to an accident can result in the loss of health insurance, retirement contributions, or other employer benefits—just when they’re needed most.
- Self-Employed Victims Face Added Challenges: For those who own their own businesses or freelance, an accident can pause operations entirely. Without income protection, these victims may face financial strain and even risk closing their business.
- Uncertainty About Future Employment: Injuries that lead to long-term or permanent disability can prevent a person from returning to their profession. This requires costly retraining or job placement services, which aren’t always covered by insurance.
