Car Accidents in Utah
Car accidents are a leading cause of injuries across Utah, with thousands of crashes reported each year. According to the Utah Department of Public Safety, more than 25,000 accidents annually result in injuries. Speeding, impaired driving, and failure to obey traffic laws are among the most common contributing factors.
Crashes often lead to a variety of injuries, many of which require medical care and ongoing treatment. Some of the most common injuries include:
- Spinal Cord and Back Injuries – Damage to the spine can lead to chronic pain or, in severe cases, partial or full paralysis. Treatment often includes rehabilitation and ongoing care.
- Head and Brain Injuries – Sudden impact can lead to concussions or more severe traumatic brain injuries (TBI). These injuries can cause dizziness, memory loss, and long-term cognitive issues.
- Neck and Whiplash Injuries – The abrupt force of a crash can strain muscles and ligaments in the neck, resulting in stiffness, headaches, and limited mobility. Recovery can take weeks or longer.
- Internal Organ Damage – Blunt force trauma from a crash can lead to internal bleeding or organ injuries, which may not be immediately noticeable but can be life-threatening.
- Broken Bones and Fractures – The force of a collision can cause fractures in the arms, legs, ribs, and other bones. Severe fractures may require surgery and physical therapy.
