One of the most common injuries resulting from a Utah car accident is whiplash. Symptoms from this injury can be debilitating and last months or even longer. In many cases, the victim suffers from neck pain, loss of feeling or pain in the arms, shoulder pain, headaches, or dizziness. Yet despite these harsh conditions, many Utah accident victims do not receive proper medical treatment.

According to www.emedicinehealth.com, the best time to seek medical care is immediately after the injury. If you are not sure whether you have whiplash based on the symptoms, contact your doctor and ask for his/her advice. Neck injuries come with severe risks and it is best to seek help from medical experts rather than try to treat it yourself.

Approximately 8% of all Utah car accident victims sustain whiplash injuries. Although it is a common injury in Utah accident cases, whiplash should not be taken lightly. Jonathan Grauer, MD, and Travis Maak, BS, composed a helpful article explaining the symptoms and treatments for whiplash injuries. Here is a short summary of the article for reference in case you have suffered a Utah whiplash injury.

Whiplash and its symptoms
Whiplash occurs when a sudden impact causes the neck to over extend in either a forward or backward motion. As this happens, bodily reflexes initiate muscles to forcefully contract and “whip” the head quickly in the opposite direction. This often results in tissue strains and tears in the upper spinal area. Whiplash can damage different structures of the body, including intervertebral discs and ligaments, capsule and facet joints, and certain areas of the spine.

Traffic accidents can result in many serious injuries such as broken bones, traumatic brain injury, and head trauma. Damage done to the spinal cord can be an especially harmful injury with many long-term effects. The spinal cord consists of a large network of nerve tissue that is the core of the central nervous system. Damaging the spinal cord or vertebral column, the part of the body which protects the spinal cord, can be devastating for accident victims. Spinal cord injury can easily be incurred from Utah car accidents and it is helpful to know some basic information about such a substantial injury.

Damage to the nerves of the spinal cord can lead to permanent disability or paralysis. The location of the spinal cord injury often dictates the affects. Some injuries may lead to loss of mobility in the arms and legs known as quadriplegia or tetraplegia. Victims may also suffer paralysis of the lower half of their body, which is known as paraplegia.

Victims of spinal cord injury can suffer different severities of symptoms, depending on the damage incurred to the nerves. Complete spinal cord injury occurs when the spinal cord is severely damaged and usually leads to the total loss of feeling below the area of injury. Less severe damage can lead to partial spinal cord injury, in which the victim loses some, but not all, motor function and sensation below the injury.

For more information on spinal cord injuries, please visit the Christensen Law Firm’s online library. If you have been in a Utah traffic accident and suffered from a spinal cord or other personal injury, you are entitled to receive fair and just compensation.

Type: Utah bicycle accident, Utah pedestrian accident

A Utah bicycle accident that took place in August 2008 was not much of an “accident” after all. According to KSL News, Alexander Jason Barto hit a bicyclist with his vehicle, saying he was trying to make a point about bicyclists blocking the road. Barto claims he attempted to ask a group of bicyclists to ride in a single file line last August and accidentally hit one of them. The bicyclist suffered injuries and his bike was ruined. Barto pleaded guilty to third-degree felony aggravated assault for the crash. By pleading guilty, he was able to have two misdemeanor charges dropped. The judge sentenced Barto to 30 days in jail. He must also take an anger management class and pay $13,000 in damages to the bicyclist.

Whether intentional or unintentional, if you have been injured in a Utah bicyclist or pedestrian accident, you are entitled to receive just compensation. Bicyclists have all the rights to be on the road with cars and are fully protected by the laws of Utah. When a bicyclist is in a traffic accident with a vehicle, the injuries can be extremely severe. Every year, over 580,000 bicyclists visit the emergency room due to traffic accidents. The expert bicycle accident attorneys at the Christensen Law Firm are well-versed in personal injury and bicycle accident laws. We know what it takes to win your case and we will work with you to ensure you receive the highest settlement possible. We recover damages for pain and suffering, lost wages, medical expenses and emotional distress. For a free consultation, please contact the Christensen Law Firm at 801-506-0800.

Attorney Kenneth Christensen is the author of The premier Utah (UT) accident book, entitled “Seven Biggest Mistakes That Can Wreck Your Utah Accident Case.” This book was written to answer questions folllowing a car accident and help help avoid the pitfalls and traps many insurance companies lay for people that have never handled an insurance claim before. It is written in an easy-to-read format and communicates complicated legal and insurance jargon into understandable language. The book is free to all Utah residents and addresses common myths associated with personal injury cases, such as:

• If you are in an accident, you always need an attorney.
• If you write the insurance company a nice, reasonable letter, you will receive a reasonable settlement offer.
• You cannot get a rental car unless you give a record statement,
• The insurance adjustor is being nice now; once I ask for a settlement he will continue to be nice.
• The insurance company for the person who hit you is obligated to pay your medical bills as they become due.

Deseret News reported that authorities have discovered the cause the Utah refinery fire that took place in Woods Cross earlier this month. The U.S. Chemical Safety Board said a vapor cloud released from a petroleum storage tank suddenly ignited, causing a major fire that forced nearby neighborhoods to evacuate. Investigators are still examining what source actually ignited the vapor cloud. The investigation team will also be looking into the “integrity of the tank seal” and refinery operational procedures to determine why the vapor cloud was released in the first place.

Silver Eagle Refinery suddenly erupted in flames on January 12, 2009, leaving four workers with serious burn injuries. Alex Bloomfield, Phil McSwain, and Rob Benoit were three of the burn victims. The fourth victim, Timothy Harter, suffered the worst burn injuries. Early news reports indicated the refinery will be paying for his medical bills. However, his family worried about potential financial difficulties since he will be unable to work for quite a while.

The employees are still recovering in a local hospital.

I am often asked when it is the best time to contact a lawyer after being involved in an accident. The general rule is that sooner is better than later.

KSL News reported that many Utah car accident victims are refusing to take the ambulance to the hospital after car accidents. Last year alone, about 2,600 people in the Salt Lake Valley declined an ambulance ride, instead driving themselves to medical care facilities. Authorities attribute this to the cost of ambulance trips, ranging between $800 and $1200.

While it seems common sense for someone suffering a few bumps and bruises to decline the ride, some people with traumatic injuries are opting out as well. Regardless of the seriousness of an injury, paramedics have no choice but to leave if a victim refuses an ambulance.

However, in Utah every automobile is required to have PIP Insurance which automatically has atleast $3,000 available for medical expenses resulting from a car accident, no matter who's at fault for the accident. Therefore, if emergency personnel feel you should be transported by ambulance, do not decline for fear of payment. Earlier this year a Utah woman refused life-flight transportation and instead took ground transportation by ambulance, but died on the way to the hospital. If she would have been transported by life-flight, she may still be alive today.

Bountiful was the second settlement in Utah after Salt Lake City. Originally known as North Canyon Ward, Bountiful now hosts a population of over 40,000 residents and is a thriving city in Davis County. Considered a bedroom community to Salt Lake City, Bountiful residents enjoy a successful transportation service. The FrontRunner commuter rail transports 8,700 people along the Wasatch Front, including many from Bountiful. Legacy Parkway freeway also allows Bountiful residents easy access to the state’s capital.

Bountiful is home to many local attractions. Bountiful Ridge Golf Course offers golfers a beautiful, first-class course at an affordable price. The Bountiful Performing Arts Center puts on many types of theatrical productions, including musicals, dramas and line plays. The center also hosts youth and children’s theatre workshops. Every summer, the Bountiful/Davis Art Center sponsors an arts festival. This summer festival lasts several days and includes street dancing, cultural performances, and artist booths.

As with every bustling city, Bountiful suffers its fair share of traffic accidents- especially with so many residents commuting to Salt Lake City for work on a daily basis.

One of Utah’s oldest cities, Sugar House offers a sense of both rich history and modern vibrancy. Located just outside of downtown Salt Lake, residents of Sugar House enjoy the amenities of living in an urban area while having the opportunity to escape the hustle-bustle of the big city. Sugar House is a melting pot of diversity -a city teeming with college students, business people, families and retirees- and is considered one of Salt Lake Valley’s most desirable neighborhoods. This city is a hub for local businesses. 2100 South is full of independent clothing stores, music shops, coffee houses, and artist galleries. A few blocks away, people stroll through the beautiful Sugar House Park, home to Salt Lake City’s largest Fourth of July fireworks show. The neighborhoods of the city are dotted with charming, old-style houses and many of the streets are lined with sprawling maple trees.

According to an article by Annie Cutler of ABC News, SR 201 at 80th West is still without a traffic light five months after Jennifer Hardwick was nearly killed at the intersection in Magna, Utah. This junction poses a hazardous threat to drivers and has been the location of many accidents. As winter rages on and driving becomes even more dangerous, citizens are pushing for a traffic light at the intersection.

Although UDOT has stated that there is enough traffic at this particular intersection for a four-way stop light, ABC reported that the legal discrepancies allow UDOT to drag its feet. UDOT can only be sued up to a certain monetary sum. Even if a case against the agency is worth several millions, they only have to pay up to $400,000.

Although it would only cost $250,000 to install a traffic light, this intersection is still without one. If you are driving along this route, please contact UDOT and encourage them to put the light in and in the meantime, please take extra precautions as you pass through this intersection.
