Appendix A—Detail on Calculations of the Ontario Model<br />

As a result we estimate 0.8 days of activity lost on average for those with minimal<br />

injuries, 15.0 days of activity lost for those with minor and 74.7 activity days lost for<br />

those with major injuries. These values do not include activity days lost for those with<br />

total or partial permanent disabilities.<br />

Exhibit A-10 provides estimates of the number of activity-days and work-days<br />

lost through motor vehicle collision injuries. Note that activity-days and work-days lost<br />

are for non-disabling injuries only since the model calculates the number and social cost<br />

related to permanently disabling injuries separately. Based on motor vehicle collisions in<br />

2004 the model estimates 1.28 million activity-days and 600 thousand work-days lost<br />

through injury.<br />

D. OTHER RESOURCES EXPENDED DUE TO COLLISIONS<br />

This section identifies the expenditure of resources related to motor vehicle<br />

collisions.<br />

1. Medical Care<br />

Resources are expended related to the care and treatment of those killed and<br />

injured in motor vehicle collisions. Exhibit A-11 identifies selected medical care received<br />

by those involved in motor vehicle collisions and the factors per injured individual used<br />

in the model. Each category of care is discussed in this section.<br />
