Car Accidents in Utah
Salt Lake City’s busy intersections and arterial roads see frequent traffic crashes, particularly during peak commute times. According to the Utah Department of Public Safety, thousands of injury crashes occur across the state each year, with many more reported as “unknown injury” incidents until a full assessment is completed. Crashes like these often lead to later-discovered injuries, highlighting the importance of getting medical attention—even if symptoms seem minor at first.
Here are some of the most common delayed injury symptoms victims should watch for after a crash:
- Headaches or Dizziness: Headaches may signal a concussion or other head injury. Dizziness can indicate a neck or inner ear injury. These symptoms may not appear until hours—or even days—after a crash.
- Neck or Shoulder Pain: Whiplash is one of the most frequently delayed injuries. You may feel fine initially but develop stiffness, pain, or reduced range of motion later.
- Back Pain: Spinal injuries, herniated discs, or muscle strain can cause back pain that increases gradually. It’s important to seek medical care if pain worsens after rest.
- Emotional Distress: Anxiety, mood swings, or difficulty sleeping after a crash may be signs of post-traumatic stress. Mental health effects are real and should be addressed early on.
- Numbness or Tingling: These sensations could indicate nerve damage. If you experience numbness in your arms, hands, legs, or feet, it’s essential to get evaluated.
