Car Accidents in Utah
Utah’s roads have seen tens of thousands of accidents annually, with over 61,000 crashes reported in 2023. Areas like South Highland Drive in Santaquin are no exception, especially during busy commuting hours. These accidents frequently lead to serious injuries, lost time at work, and emotional challenges for victims and their families.
For many victims, one of the hardest parts of recovery involves dealing with transportation issues after the crash. Here are some of the ways this can impact daily life:
- Loss of Reliable Vehicle: If a car is totaled or severely damaged, the victim may be left without a dependable means of transportation. This can interfere with commuting, medical visits, and essential errands, making recovery more difficult.
- Delay in Repairs: Insurance processing, part shortages, or long repair shop queues often lead to delays that stretch into weeks. Many drivers find themselves forced to borrow vehicles or rely on others to get around.
- Rental Car Costs: Even if insurance covers a portion of a rental, the coverage may be limited by time or dollar amount. Victims may end up paying out-of-pocket for extended rentals, adding financial strain during an already stressful time.
- Impact on Work or School: Without a vehicle, attending work, school, or even childcare obligations can become complicated or impossible. This disruption can lead to missed income, reduced academic performance, or stress on family members who must help.
