Car Accidents in Utah
Even short-duration collisions can lead to serious injuries. According to the Utah Department of Public Safety, thousands of injury-causing crashes take place each year on Utah’s neighborhood roads and residential streets. Crashes like the one on North Cardinal Street often occur when visibility is low and fatigue or distraction becomes a factor.
Understanding the aftermath of a crash is key to recovery. Below are some of the biggest challenges victims face:
- Confusion About Insurance Claims: Many people are unsure whether to file with their own insurance or the other driver’s. Filing incorrectly can delay payments or lead to denied claims.
- Hidden Injuries: Some injuries—like whiplash, concussions, or internal bleeding—aren’t immediately visible but may worsen over time.
- Transportation Issues: If your vehicle is damaged, even a short disruption can affect work, family responsibilities, or medical appointments.
- Out-of-Pocket Medical Costs: Co-pays, deductibles, or uncovered treatment expenses often pile up quickly after an accident.
- Dealing With Insurance Adjusters: Many victims face pressure to accept quick settlements that don’t fully cover the cost of treatment or missed wages.
