Car Accidents in Utah
Utah continues to experience a high rate of motor vehicle collisions, with more than 61,000 reported in 2023. City streets like South State Street in Salt Lake City are especially prone to accidents during afternoon hours, when traffic levels are high and drivers may be in a rush. For those involved, these wrecks often result in more than just short-term injuries.
One major area of life that often changes after a crash is mobility and transportation. Here’s how that disruption affects daily life:
- Loss of Primary Vehicle: When a crash totals a vehicle or leaves it in the repair shop for weeks, victims may be left scrambling for alternatives—rental cars, public transit, or ride-share services, all of which come at a cost.
- Missed Appointments: Without reliable transportation, victims may miss physical therapy, follow-ups, legal consultations, or even court dates—delaying recovery and case progress.
- Increased Dependence on Others: Many crash victims are forced to rely on family or friends for rides. While well-meaning, this can strain relationships or create feelings of guilt and helplessness.
- Struggles with Accessibility: Those with temporary or long-term mobility issues may find that their replacement vehicle or transit options aren’t fully accommodating, making every errand a challenge.
