Most Traffic Deaths Per Capita in Any Developed Country

Most advanced countries have safer roads and lower auto death rates. But the US has over 40,000 traffic deaths in the last several years. Of course, Americans drive a whole lot more than everyone else and people not in a car can become victims.

 

Nexstar reported October 22, 2023, that the number of pedestrians killed in MVA’s is surging. In fact, it is the fastest growth rate for MVA’s.

 

In 2022 alone, at least 7,508 people were killed by drivers, according to the GHSA. Between 2010 and 2021 the number of pedestrians killed increased by 77% while all other traffic related deaths increased by 25%. Bicycle deaths are also increasing.

 

The common causes are: drunk driving, “blind spots” in front of some vehicles hoods when the driver cannot see over their hood, and careless drivers, large trucks, crossing in the middle of a street, wearing dark clothing at night, playing in the street, and careless walking.

 

With more technology than ever, the MVA death rates are climbing fast.

 

ACE'S LIT TIPS ⚖️

Patients often have more going on that initially meets the eye. After an accident, they may come in complaining of musculoskeletal injuries, but after a few visits it may become clear that there is more to the picture. It is easy to spot brain injuries or psychological injuries when there are large, obvious signs of trauma to the head, but many TBIs and/or related brain injuries do not broadcast themselves quite so clearly.

 

That’s why it is incumbent on you, the quarterback of your patient’s care, to screen for such injuries at the beginning of treatment and every so often thereafter. The use of concussions questionnaires as well as brief, psychological examinations can help you get patients suffering from invisible brain or psychological injuries the help they need.
