Car Accidents in Utah
Utah sees thousands of car accidents every year, and major intersections in Salt Lake City—such as North Temple and Redwood Road—are hotspots due to high volumes of cross-traffic and signal changes. State data highlights that over 27,000 injuries were reported from crashes last year alone.
Understanding common injuries resulting from crashes can help clarify the importance of medical follow-up:
- Whiplash: This neck strain is especially common in rear-end collisions. Symptoms can appear hours after impact and include stiffness, pain, and headaches.
- Concussions: Even low-speed collisions can jolt the brain, causing concussions. Victims may feel dizzy, nauseous, or confused. Prompt evaluation is key to preventing complications.
- Broken Bones: Impact to the steering wheel, dashboard, or seatbelt tension can result in fractures. Common sites include wrists, arms, and ribs.
- Soft Tissue Injuries: Sprains, bruising, and deep tissue trauma may seem minor at first but can lead to persistent discomfort without proper care.
- Spinal Injuries: Severe impacts can compress or damage spinal discs, leading to long-term pain or mobility issues that require therapy or surgery.
