Abstract

This paper presents the most detailed and current costs per US motor vehicle crash victim. These unit costs, which include the first keyed to AIS90, are reported by category, body part, whether a fracture/dislocation was involved, and MAIS. This level of detail allows for reliable analyses of interventions targeting narrow ranges of injuries and, hopefully, for the development of a biomechanical injury cost model.
