Car Accidents in Utah
Each year, thousands of motor vehicle accidents occur in Utah, with many resulting in injuries. The Utah Department of Public Safety reports that over 25,000 crashes lead to injuries annually. Common contributing factors include speeding, distracted driving, and failure to yield.
Car accidents often result in injuries that require extensive medical care. Here are some of the most common injuries suffered in crashes:
- Head and Brain Injuries – A sudden impact can cause concussions or more severe traumatic brain injuries (TBI). These injuries can lead to cognitive impairments, dizziness, headaches, and memory loss.
- Whiplash and Neck Injuries – Rear-end collisions and sudden stops often result in soft tissue injuries. Victims may experience stiffness, pain, and difficulty moving their necks for weeks or longer.
- Broken Bones – The force of a crash can lead to fractures in the arms, legs, ribs, or other bones. Some breaks require surgery, and recovery can take months.
- Spinal Cord and Back Injuries – Damage to the spine can lead to chronic pain or even permanent disabilities. Severe spinal injuries may result in partial or complete paralysis.
- Internal Organ Damage – Blunt force trauma can cause internal bleeding and organ injuries, which may not be immediately apparent. These injuries can be life-threatening without prompt medical treatment.
