What Crashes Cost Here Loading estimate...

Loading crash cost estimate...

The three blocks below show direct costs, other harm, and the total for crashes with injuries, crashes without injuries, and all crashes together.

Loading estimate...

How we calculate this

We calculate these costs using a method developed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, or NHTSA. It gives one set of costs for crashes with injuries and another for crashes with no reported injuries.

Crashes with injuries cost much more because the method includes things like lost work, medical care, and long-term harm. NHTSA says crash costs include "lost productivity, medical, legal and court costs, emergency service, insurance administration, congestion, property damage, and workplace losses."

These are estimates, not bills. "Other harm" is the part of the broader estimate that goes beyond direct bills and insurance claims. It captures pain, disability, and lost quality of life.

Emily Gallagher Hails Safety‑Boosting Stop Super Speeders Law
👍 Positive
2026-05-27 · Leadership · Streetsblog Empire State · ↑ helps grade
Albany made NYC target repeat school-zone speeders. After 16 camera hits in a year, drivers can be ordered to install speed governors. Skip it, and registration can be yanked. It aims at the worst speed that maims and kills.

2026-05-11 · Leadership · Streetsblog Empire State · ↑ helps grade
A plan targets drivers with 16 speed-camera tickets in 12 months. It would order a speed governor after the 16th hit. But the piece says weak rules and weak follow-through could leave repeat speeding on the street.

Albany argued while danger stayed put. Speed-limiter plan for repeat speeders hit due-process and privacy pushback. The delay keeps fast cars in play for people on foot and on bikes.
