On-the-Job Vehicle Crashes Cost U.S. Employers $25 Billion Annually
Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of work-related injury deaths in the United States, accounting for 22,000 deaths from 2003-2014.
On-the-job vehicle crashes have a devastating impact on workers and their families, communities and businesses. In 2013 alone, motor vehicle crashes cost U.S. employers $25 billion -- $671,000 per death and $65,000 per nonfatal injury. Workplace crashes affect businesses through lost productivity, medical and workers' compensation costs, liability and reputational damage. They are also a major injury risk for business travelers while abroad.
