Car Accidents in Utah
Across Utah, car crashes continue to impact families every day. In 2022, over 26,000 crashes resulted in injuries, with many taking place in growing cities like Saratoga Springs. With more traffic, construction zones, and distracted drivers, accidents can happen in an instant, and often bring long-term consequences for victims and their loved ones.
One of the most frustrating aspects for crash victims is dealing with the impact on their work and income. Here’s what that often looks like:
- Lost Wages From Missed Work: Even a few days away from work can lead to financial stress, especially for those in hourly or contract roles. Many victims are forced to use unpaid leave or sick days just to attend medical appointments or recover at home.
- Reduced Earning Capacity: Some injuries prevent people from returning to their usual job functions. If you work in a physically demanding role, even a minor back or leg injury may limit your ability to perform essential duties, leading to lost income long term.
- Job Loss or Position Changes: In more serious cases, employers may not be able to hold a position indefinitely. While employment laws offer some protections, victims may still find themselves facing demotion, job loss, or career setbacks during recovery.
- Out-of-Pocket Work Expenses: Many workers rely on their own tools, gear, or transportation. When a crash affects your ability to use these resources, replacement costs can stack up quickly, often without reimbursement from standard health or auto insurance.
- Delays in Disability or Benefits Processing: Even if you qualify for short-term disability, delays and denials are common. Navigating the paperwork while injured can be overwhelming, especially when bills are piling up.
