Car Accidents in Utah
Utah sees thousands of car crashes each year, with many resulting in injuries that disrupt lives and place financial and emotional stress on families. According to state data, more than 25% of reported crashes lead to some form of injury. Roads like Interstate 15, especially in high-traffic areas, are common sites for serious accidents due to heavy congestion and high speeds.
Car crashes can result in a wide range of unexpected consequences. Here are some common types of vehicle damage and what they can mean for your recovery:
- Frame Damage: Even in a moderate crash, the structural frame of your vehicle can be compromised. Frame damage can affect the alignment, handling, and safety of your car, making repairs both complex and costly. Sometimes, frame damage leads to the vehicle being totaled by insurers.
- Transmission and Axle Issues: Rear-end or side collisions can severely damage a vehicle’s transmission system or axles. These parts are vital to your car’s function and performance. Repairs to these systems are expensive and time-consuming, often requiring specialized parts or full replacements.
- Airbag Deployment: Airbags are designed to save lives, but once deployed, they must be replaced. The cost of replacing airbags, along with the sensors and computer systems that trigger them, can be high. Cars with multiple airbag deployments may even be declared a total loss.
- Electrical System Failures: In newer vehicles, crashes can short out or sever wiring harnesses, affecting lights, dashboard systems, or even power steering. Diagnosing electrical issues may take days, adding to downtime and repair expenses.
- Cosmetic Damage with Long-Term Impact: Scratches, dents, and broken glass may seem minor, but these can lower the resale value of your car significantly. In some cases, misaligned panels after repairs can indicate hidden internal damage.
