Analysis and Estimation of the Social Cost of Motor Vehicle Collisions in Ontario<br />

Exhibit A-7<br />

Adjusted Data for Ontario Model—Number of Collisions,<br />

Fatalities, Injuries and Damaged Vehicles (2004)<br />

Collision Severity<br />

Fatal Injury PDO TOTAL<br />

Collisions 730 61,814 169,004 231,548<br />

Fatalities 813 813<br />

Injuries:<br />

Major 317 4,961 5,279<br />

Minor 1,574 59,152 60,726<br />

Minimal 968 57,855 58,822<br />

Vehicles damaged:<br />

Demolished 723 13,150 4,107 17,980<br />

Severe 200 27,605 30,903 58,708<br />

Moderate 157 32,436 105,753 138,345<br />

Light 133 32,158 148,879 181,170<br />

None 48 11,258 19,443 30,748<br />

In 2004 and subsequent years this transfer is conducted automatically based on<br />

decision rules influenced by the proportion of injuries and number of injuries needing to<br />

be transferred by severity of injury.<br />

C. OTHER CHARACTERISTICS OF INJURED INDIVIDUALS<br />

This section identifies further characteristics of those injured in motor vehicle<br />

collisions.<br />

1. Number of total and partial permanent disabilities<br />

Some injuries will result in total or partial permanent disabilities. The likelihood<br />

of such disabilities varies by injury severity as identified in the Databook on Nonfatal<br />

Injury: Incidence, Costs and Consequences (Ted Miller, et. al.). These probabilities<br />

(factors used in 2004 and later years) are identified in Exhibit A-8.<br />
