Car Accidents in Utah
Utah sees thousands of vehicle-related injuries each year. According to the Utah Department of Public Safety, distracted driving, impaired operation, and excessive speeds continue to be leading causes. In 2022 alone, more than 61,000 crashes occurred statewide, resulting in over 25,000 injuries. With growing populations and increased road usage, staying alert behind the wheel has never been more important.
If you’ve recently been involved in a crash, it’s helpful to understand common challenges accident victims face:
- Increased Insurance Rates: After a car crash, victims often experience a significant hike in their insurance premiums, even if they weren’t at fault. These increases can last for several years, putting additional financial pressure on households.
- Missed Time From Work: Many victims must take time off work for medical appointments, recovery, or due to physical limitations caused by the accident. This time off can create income gaps, especially if paid leave is unavailable.
- Physical Therapy Costs: Recovery doesn’t end after the hospital visit. Physical therapy is often a necessary part of the healing process, and it can come with hefty out-of-pocket expenses if not fully covered by insurance.
- Property Damage and Rental Fees: When a vehicle is damaged, victims may face lengthy repair times. Rental car costs or total loss of a vehicle can result in unforeseen expenses that compound financial stress.
- Emotional and Mental Strain: Accidents don’t just impact the body. The emotional aftermath, including anxiety and PTSD, can be just as debilitating and often goes untreated or unrecognized by insurers.
