Car Accidents in Utah
According to the Utah Department of Public Safety, rear-end collisions are among the most common types of crashes across the state. These accidents often occur in heavy traffic, at stop signs, or when drivers are distracted. Though they may seem minor at first, rear-end collisions can lead to serious injuries, especially to the neck and back. Utah’s growing population and increased vehicle traffic have contributed to a steady rise in these incidents.
One of the most frequent outcomes of rear-end crashes is soft tissue injury. Here’s what victims should know:
- Whiplash Injuries: Often caused by the sudden jolt of a rear-end impact, whiplash affects the neck and upper spine. Symptoms can appear hours or even days later and may include stiffness, headaches, and reduced range of motion.
- Herniated Discs: The spine may absorb a strong impact awkwardly, causing discs to shift out of place. These injuries are painful and often require physical therapy or even surgery.
- Lower Back Strain: In rear-end crashes, lower back muscles and ligaments may become stretched or torn. Chronic pain may follow, limiting mobility and work capabilities.
- Shoulder and Arm Injuries: The force of being thrust forward can result in shoulder injuries or nerve damage in the arms, especially if the victim was bracing at the time of impact.
- Soft Tissue Bruising: Though not always visible externally, internal bruising and swelling are common in these incidents and may worsen without proper treatment.
