Car Accidents in Utah
Crashes involving SUVs and sedans are frequent throughout Utah’s cities and suburbs. According to the Utah Department of Public Safety, urban traffic congestion, distracted driving, and improper turns are some of the leading causes of two-vehicle collisions. Even low-to-moderate speed accidents can result in significant injury and property damage, especially when larger vehicles like SUVs are involved.
Vehicle-on-vehicle crashes like this often carry specific challenges for drivers and passengers. Here’s what victims should keep in mind:
- Size Disparity Between Vehicles: SUVs sit higher and are heavier than compact cars. In a crash, this can lead to greater damage for the smaller vehicle and increased risk of injury for its occupants.
- Rear-End and Side-Impact Injuries: Two-vehicle collisions frequently cause whiplash, broken ribs, or joint trauma, especially when seatbelts tighten or airbags deploy.
- Airbag-Related Injuries: While they reduce fatalities, airbags can still cause burns, bruises, or bone fractures, particularly when they deploy with force in close-quarters collisions.
- Misaligned Insurance Claims: When both vehicles are damaged and there’s no clear fault, insurance disputes can arise. Both parties may face challenges in proving liability.
- Frame Damage and Repair Delays: Compact cars involved in accidents with larger SUVs are often deemed total losses or require major repairs, which can lead to weeks without reliable transportation.
- Stress and Medical Follow-Up: Even after being discharged, victims may need continued treatment, therapy, or specialist visits. Pain and stiffness can linger for weeks or months following the crash.
