The most current data is always used at the time of publication, but it may change as new information is received. During 1998, an average of 114 persons died each day in motor vehicle crashes across the United States - one every 13 minutes.

These costs are an estimate of wage and productivity losses, medical expenses, administrative expenses, motor vehicle damage, and employer costs. Effective in 1993, new components were added and new benchmarks and inflation factors adopted. For this reason, the cost estimates for 1998 are not comparable to those published in the past. The following factors were used to approximate the value of the loss for crashes occurring in Arizona. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
