Car Accidents in Utah
Each year, thousands of crashes occur on Utah roads, many of which result in injuries. According to recent data from the Utah Department of Public Safety, more than 61,000 motor vehicle collisions took place in the state in 2022. Of these, over 26,000 involved injuries. While many crashes are minor, others leave lasting effects on victims and their families, both physically and emotionally.
When it comes to crash-related injuries, here are some important facts to understand:
- Whiplash and Soft Tissue Injuries: One of the most common types of injury in rear-end and moderate-speed crashes, whiplash can lead to lingering neck pain and reduced mobility. Other soft tissue injuries may include strained muscles or torn ligaments, which often require physical therapy for recovery.
- Fractures and Broken Bones: The impact of a crash may result in broken ribs, arms, legs, or hips. Fractures can be extremely painful and may limit a person’s ability to work or perform daily tasks, especially if surgical intervention is necessary.
- Head and Brain Injuries: Even when airbags deploy, drivers and passengers can sustain concussions or more serious traumatic brain injuries. These injuries may affect memory, mood, and cognition, sometimes permanently.
- Back and Spinal Cord Damage: Herniated discs and spinal injuries are not uncommon after collisions. In severe cases, spinal cord damage can lead to partial or full paralysis, altering a person’s life dramatically.
- Emotional Trauma and PTSD: Not all injuries are visible. Many crash survivors suffer from anxiety, depression, or post-traumatic stress, especially after witnessing or being involved in a traumatic wreck.
