Car Accidents in Utah
Car accidents continue to affect thousands of people across Utah every year. State reports show that tens of thousands of crashes are recorded annually, with many resulting in injuries that require extensive treatment. These incidents can occur in a matter of seconds but often lead to long-term effects on physical and emotional health.
When it comes to injury types, some are more common than others—and often more serious. Here’s what victims of car crashes may experience:
- Lacerations and Internal Injuries: Shattered glass, twisted metal, or objects within the car can cause deep cuts and internal injuries. These may require surgery and leave lasting scars or complications.
- Back and Spinal Cord Injuries: A sudden jolt or impact can compress the spine or even lead to fractures. These injuries are often painful, limit mobility, and may result in long-term rehabilitation needs or permanent damage.
- Concussions and Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs): Even with airbags, a sudden crash can cause the head to hit windows or other hard surfaces. Brain injuries can impair memory, coordination, and personality, sometimes leading to lasting effects.
- Broken Bones and Fractures: Arms, legs, ribs, and facial bones are all vulnerable in collisions. Some fractures require surgery or prolonged physical therapy, especially when multiple bones are affected.
- Whiplash and Neck Injuries: These are among the most frequent injuries in car accidents. The strain placed on the neck during a crash can lead to chronic stiffness, pain, and limited range of motion.
