Car Accidents in Utah
According to the Utah Department of Public Safety, crashes occur frequently throughout the state, with intersections being one of the most common locations. Driver inattention, failing to yield, and attempting unsafe turns all contribute to these incidents. Each year, thousands of Utahns are injured in car crashes, facing months of recovery and unexpected costs.
Many people are caught off guard by what comes after a crash. Here are several realities victims often face:
- Unexpected Medical Expenses: Emergency care is costly, even with health insurance. Victims may encounter high deductibles, co-pays, and out-of-pocket fees for imaging, prescriptions, and rehabilitation services.
- Vehicle Loss or Downtime: Repairing or replacing a damaged vehicle is not always fast. Insurance may not cover full costs, and victims often go days or weeks without transportation, impacting work and family obligations.
- Physical Therapy Requirements: Even moderate injuries like sprains or muscle strains can require extensive therapy. These sessions cost time and money and may limit a person’s ability to perform routine activities during recovery.
- Long-Term Health Impacts: Injuries such as whiplash or concussions can result in lingering symptoms, including headaches, dizziness, and pain. This affects quality of life and can require ongoing treatment long after the crash.
- Insurance Frustration: Many victims are overwhelmed by claim processes. Delayed responses, unclear instructions, and pressure to settle quickly are common complaints when dealing with insurance providers alone.
