Car Accidents in Utah
Motor vehicle accidents continue to impact thousands of lives across Utah every year. Speeding, distracted driving, and impaired operation are among the top causes of collisions. The state has prioritized road safety initiatives to reduce these numbers. More information can be found at the Utah Department of Public Safety.
It’s important to be aware of the injuries that can arise from a crash. Here are a few common ones:
- Back and Spinal Injuries: Car accidents often result in back pain or serious spinal injuries. These can range from herniated discs to spinal cord damage, sometimes leading to long-term mobility issues or the need for surgery and rehabilitation.
- Facial Injuries: Airbags, shattered glass, and impact with steering wheels or dashboards can cause cuts, bruises, or fractures to the face. Some facial injuries may require reconstructive surgery depending on severity.
- Broken Bones: High-impact crashes frequently lead to broken arms, legs, or ribs. Some fractures are complex and require surgical intervention and months of physical therapy for full recovery.
- Burn Injuries: Although less common, fires caused by fuel leaks or electrical issues during a crash can result in serious burn injuries. Burns may require extensive medical treatment and leave permanent scarring.
