Study: 3.5 million treated in ERs after automobile collisions

According to a recent government study by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, roughly 3.5 million people required medical attention in 2006 in U.S. emergency rooms following an automobile accident. Injuries sustained by these accident victims ranged from scratches and black and blues to critical injuries.


The majority of these victims suffered only minor injuries, with 85 percent being treated and released from hospital emergency rooms. Approximately 320,000 were either admitted to the hospital or transported to a different hospital for treatment following their accident. About 8,000 people died in hospital emergency rooms as a result of motor vehicle collisions.
