Car Accidents in Utah
Car crashes occur frequently in Utah, leading to thousands of injuries and fatalities each year. In 2023, over 61,000 accidents were recorded statewide, with more than 26,000 resulting in injuries. Spanish Fork and other high-traffic areas often see collisions due to congestion and driver error.
Understanding the most common injuries from car accidents can help victims recognize the importance of seeking medical attention. Some frequent crash-related injuries include:
- Whiplash: This soft tissue injury occurs when the head is suddenly jerked forward and backward, causing strain on the neck. Symptoms may not appear immediately but can lead to chronic pain if left untreated.
- Concussions and Head Injuries: Impact during a crash can cause concussions or traumatic brain injuries, even if there is no visible wound. Headaches, dizziness, and memory problems can indicate a serious condition.
- Broken Bones: The force of a collision can easily lead to fractures in the arms, legs, ribs, and other bones. Severe breaks may require surgery and lengthy rehabilitation.
- Back and Spinal Injuries: Damage to the spine can result in chronic pain or even paralysis. Herniated discs and spinal cord trauma are common after high-impact crashes.
- Internal Injuries: Blunt force trauma can lead to internal bleeding or organ damage. These injuries are not always visible immediately, making medical evaluation critical.
