The most current data is always used at the time of publication, but it may change as new information is received. During 1999, an average of 114 persons died each day in motor vehicle crashes across the United States - one every 12.6 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 andinflation factors adopted. For this reason, the cost estimates for 1999 are not comparable to those published in the past. Thefollowing factors were used to approximate the value of the loss for crashes occurring in Arizona. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Holidays such as Christmas, New Years, and the Fourth of July are celebrated on specific dates; which also make the holiday period range from one to four days in length. Holiday fatality statistics are based on fatal crashes occurring between 6:00 p.m. on the last working day prior to the holiday and midnight on the last day of the holiday period.
