Number and Rate of Serious Injuries
Number of serious injuries is the total number of people suffering at least one serious or incapacitating injury for each separate motor vehicle traffic crash on Florida’s roadways during a calendar year. The rate of serious injuries refers to the ratio of the total number of serious injuries to the number of vehicle miles traveled (VMT) (expressed in 100 million VMT) in a calendar year. It provides a common denominator to understand the magnitude of the occurrence of serious injuries on Florida’s roadways.
