Car Accidents in Utah
Each year, thousands of people in Utah are involved in car accidents, many of which result in injury. In 2023 alone, more than 61,000 crashes were reported statewide. Whether on highways or local roads like Riverdale Road, these collisions can leave lasting consequences. For many victims, the impact goes beyond just the day of the crash—it affects their work, home life, and long-term health.
Many victims are surprised to find how much a car accident can affect their job or income. Here are a few ways that happens:
- Missed Workdays: Injuries often force people to take time off from work—whether for a few days of recovery or weeks of medical appointments. In many cases, victims are unpaid for this time, adding financial stress on top of medical costs.
- Limited Work Abilities: Even after returning, some victims may be unable to perform their usual job duties. Pain, mobility issues, or medication side effects can prevent full productivity. In more severe cases, victims may have to change careers entirely.
- Lost Job Opportunities: Some people are passed over for promotions or new roles because of their recovery time or physical limitations. The longer the recovery process, the greater the chance that someone’s job status is affected.
- Long-Term Disability: In serious accidents, permanent injuries can leave a person unable to work at all. This may lead to disability filings, job retraining, or relying on others for financial support.
