Car Accidents in Utah
Utah’s roads see thousands of collisions each year. In fact, the Utah Department of Public Safety recorded more than 61,000 crashes across the state in 2023, with over 26,000 of those resulting in injuries. Even crashes on city roads like Center Street can lead to serious consequences for those involved.
Following an accident, there are important concerns that victims commonly face:
- Handling Insurance Claims: Insurance companies often attempt to settle quickly, which can result in compensation that doesn’t cover the full scope of your losses. Without legal guidance, it’s easy to accept less than you deserve.
- Managing Vehicle Repairs: Coordinating with repair shops and dealing with estimates, insurance approvals, and rental arrangements can be overwhelming. The process often involves unexpected delays and added stress.
- Time Away from Work: Whether it’s for medical appointments or recovery time, time away from work can lead to lost income and strain on household budgets—especially if your injuries limit your ability to return right away.
- Physical and Emotional Aftereffects: Beyond broken bones or bruises, victims may also struggle with anxiety, flashbacks, or trouble sleeping following a crash. These are real symptoms that deserve attention and care.
