Car Accidents in Utah
Each year, thousands of crashes occur on Utah’s highways, leading to serious injuries and financial burdens for those involved. High-speed roadways like I-80 see a significant number of these collisions, often due to factors such as distracted driving, speeding, and adverse weather conditions.
Here are some common injuries suffered in Utah car accidents:
- Whiplash – Sudden force from a collision can strain neck muscles and ligaments, leading to pain and limited mobility. Whiplash is common in rear-end crashes.
- Broken Bones – The impact of a crash can cause fractures, particularly in the arms, legs, and ribs. Some breaks require extensive medical treatment and recovery time.
- Concussions and Head Trauma – Blows to the head can lead to concussions or traumatic brain injuries, affecting cognitive function, memory, and coordination.
- Back and Spinal Cord Injuries – Damage to the spine can result in chronic pain, herniated discs, or even paralysis in severe cases.
