Car Accidents in Utah
Utah recorded more than 61,000 motor vehicle crashes in 2023, with many of them taking place in busy city corridors like South 700 East in Salt Lake City. These crashes often occur during peak travel hours when traffic congestion and distraction levels are high. While the physical injuries are often immediate, the longer-term impact of a wreck can take days or weeks to fully emerge.
One of the most difficult effects crash victims face is the strain of ongoing medical treatment. Here’s what that often includes:
- Physical Therapy: Many injuries, especially those involving the back, neck, or joints, require weeks of therapy. Scheduling and attending these appointments can be exhausting and time-consuming.
- Follow-Up Testing: Victims may need multiple scans or diagnostic exams to monitor healing. Each test adds cost and requires time off work or assistance with transportation.
- Prescription Management: Pain relief and other medications must be carefully managed to avoid complications or dependency, especially in long recoveries.
- Specialist Referrals: Orthopedic surgeons, neurologists, and other specialists may be necessary for proper treatment, often requiring out-of-pocket payments or long waits for appointments.
