Car Accidents in Utah
Utah’s roads, particularly in metro areas like Salt Lake City, see a high volume of mid-morning collisions. According to the Utah Department of Public Safety, there were more than 26,000 injury-related crashes across the state in 2023. Busy corridors such as South 300 West Street experience frequent congestion and limited visibility during turns and lane changes, which can increase the risk of accidents.
Here are a few common concerns crash victims may face afterward:
- Medical Bills and Recovery Time: Many accident victims are surprised by the high cost of treatment, from ambulance transport to emergency care and follow-up appointments. These expenses can add up quickly.
- Inability to Work or Drive: Injuries often prevent victims from returning to work or commuting, which can result in financial pressure and reliance on others for transportation or care.
- Disputes with Insurance Providers: Insurance companies may attempt to minimize your payout or shift blame. Without legal representation, crash victims can be left covering costs they shouldn’t have to.
- Loss of Routine and Stability: From childcare disruptions to rescheduled medical appointments, a crash can throw your routine off balance. These disruptions can be just as stressful as the physical injuries.
