Car Accidents in Utah
Crashes occurring at intersections—especially at night—can result in serious injuries. According to the Utah Department of Public Safety, over 26,000 injury-related accidents were reported across Utah in 2023. Intersections like Richmond Street and Zenith Avenue can be particularly dangerous when visibility is low and traffic signals are missed or misjudged.
After a crash, victims often face several immediate and long-term challenges:
- Visibility Concerns at Night: Streetlights and headlights may not fully illuminate all corners of an intersection, increasing the likelihood of missed signs, sudden stops, or pedestrian conflicts.
- Emergency Room Visits and Follow-Up Care: Crash victims often require more than just initial treatment. Follow-up appointments, imaging, physical therapy, and medication are common—and costs can rise quickly.
- Disputes Over Fault: Intersection crashes frequently involve conflicting stories. Determining who had the right of way can become a battle between drivers and insurers, making legal support especially important.
- Emotional Strain on Families: Accidents affect more than just the person injured. Family members may need to adjust routines or provide ongoing care, placing additional emotional and financial burdens on the household.
