Abstract

Summarises research on casualty-related costs: the distribution of injury severity among casualties with 'serious' and 'slight' injuries, studies of the value of avoidance of road accident injuries, and estimates of the loss to the economy from injuries. Presents revised estimates of the average cost per casualty. Implications of the revised costs for total accident costs and their application to cost benefit analysis of road schemes and road safety measures are discussed, and compares accident costing to other countries’ data.
