THE PROBLEM

The numbers are astounding. The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) estimates that motor vehicle crashes cost employers over $50 billion annually in medical care, legal expenses, property damage, and lost productivity. Additionally, those collisions drive up the cost of benefits such as workers’ compensation and private health and disability insurance, as well as the associated administrative overhead. Figures from the NHTSA show that...

• On-the-job crashes cost employers over $24,500 per crash, and $128,000 per injury.
• In one year, off-the-job crash injuries cost employers approximately $20 billion.
• Employer health care spending on crash injuries comes to nearly $8 billion every year. Another $9 billion is spent on sick leave and life and disability insurance for crash victims.

HR Magazine reports that the NHTSA advises employers to take advantage of employee traffic safety programs to reduce the costs associated with vehicle crashes and injuries. In fact, those savings are potentially as high as $50,000 per million vehicle miles traveled! (original NHTSA study)
