"More than 2.5 million Americans went to the emergency department
(ED)—and nearly 200,000 were then hospitalized—for crash injuries in
2012. On average, each crash-related ED visit costs about $3,300 and
each hospitalization costs about $57,000 over a person's lifetime. The
best way to keep people safe and reduce medical costs is to prevent
crashes from happening in the first place. But if a crash does occur,

CDC Finds Annual Estimated Cost of U.S. Crash-Related Deaths is $41 Billion
"Motor vehicle crash-related deaths in the United States resulted in an estimated $41 billion in medical and work loss costs in a year, according to state-based estimates released today by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Half of this cost ($20.4 billion) was in 10 states, the report says.
CDC's data analysis found that the 10 states with the highest medical and work loss costs were California ($4.16 billion), Texas ($3.50 billion), Florida ($3.16 billion), Georgia ($1.55 billion), Pennsylvania ($1.52 billion), North Carolina ($1.50 billion), New York ($1.33 billion), Illinois ($1.32 billion), Ohio ($1.23 billion), and Tennessee ($1.15 billion).
These cost findings are based on 2005 data, which is the most recent year for which comprehensive data on costs associated with crash deaths is available. The study was not configured to develop an explanation for the variation in state costs..."
