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 />

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 />
