Car Accidents in Utah
Utah roadways see a high volume of crashes, particularly in cities like St. George where traffic increases in the afternoon and early evening hours. According to state data, thousands of crashes each year happen during peak commute times, when distractions and congestion are at their worst. In 2022, more than 61,000 crashes were reported statewide, with many leading to significant injuries.
For victims, getting medical treatment is just one piece of the puzzle. Car crashes can also affect long-term health and emotional well-being. Here are a few types of injuries that commonly result from crashes:
- Whiplash and Neck Strain: Quick head movement from a crash often leads to whiplash, which can cause pain, stiffness, and limited motion. These injuries might not show symptoms right away but can linger for weeks or months without proper care.
- Spinal Injuries: A sudden jolt or impact can injure discs and nerves in the back or neck. These injuries are serious and may lead to chronic pain or the need for surgery, especially when left untreated.
- Fractures and Broken Bones: High-impact crashes can lead to broken arms, ribs, or legs. Recovery time varies, and some fractures may require pins, plates, or long-term physical therapy.
- Concussions and Head Injuries: Even if there’s no visible wound, hitting your head during a crash can result in a concussion. These injuries affect memory, mood, and focus and should always be monitored by a medical professional.
- Lacerations and Bruising: Broken glass and impact points from the crash can leave deep cuts or heavy bruising. While some are minor, others may need stitches or lead to scarring.
- Internal Injuries: Damage to organs or internal bleeding can go undetected without a medical exam. These injuries can quickly become life-threatening if not diagnosed in time.
