Car Accidents in Utah
Here in Utah, thousands of collisions are recorded each year. In 2022 alone, the Utah Department of Public Safety reported over 61,000 vehicle crashes across the state, many occurring on city roadways like South Gladiola Street. Afternoon collisions are especially common during peak traffic hours, when driver fatigue, impatience, and distracted driving often converge.
Following a collision, many victims face an overwhelming series of challenges. Here are just a few:
- Painful Physical Injuries: From broken bones to internal trauma, injuries sustained in wrecks can require surgeries, rehabilitation, or lifelong treatment. Even minor injuries often involve weeks of recovery.
- Confusion About Insurance Coverage: Understanding what your policy covers, what deductibles apply, and how to pursue compensation can be confusing and frustrating—especially when you’re injured and dealing with pain.
- Impacts on Mental Health: After a serious crash, victims often suffer from anxiety, sleep disruption, or panic attacks—particularly when attempting to drive again. These psychological effects are real and deserve attention.
- Loss of Independence: When injuries prevent a person from driving, walking, or working, daily tasks like picking up kids or going to appointments can become impossible without help.
- Long-Term Financial Worries: Medical bills, lost wages, property damage, and out-of-pocket expenses can pile up quickly. Without solid legal support, some victims are left paying the cost themselves.
- Unfair Settlement Offers: Insurance companies are known to offer low settlements quickly after a crash. These offers often fail to cover the full scope of injuries or long-term consequences.
