• Abstract:
  "Cost estimates, including both monetary and nonmonetary quality-of-life costs specific to Michigan, were ; estimated for overall traffic crashes and index crimes by experts in the field of economics of traffic crashes ; and crimes. These cost estimates were applied to 2009 Michigan traffic crash and index crime incidence ; data to estimate dollar losses from traffic crashes and index crimes to the state and for each county within ; the state. Crash costs associated with alcohol-involved traffic crashes, teen-driver-involved crashes, ; crash-involved motorcyclists, and unrestrained occupants of passenger vehicles were also calculated. ; Findings indicate that in 2009, index crimes in Michigan resulted in $1.9 billion in monetary costs and $4.7 ; billion in total (monetary and nonmonetary quality-of-life) costs. Overall traffic crashes resulted in $4.8 ; billion in monetary costs and $9.1 billion in total costs. Of these costs, alcohol-involved crashes accounted ; for $0.8 billion in monetary costs and $1.9 billion in total costs. Crashes involving teen drivers accounted ; for almost $1 billion in monetary costs and $1.8 billion in total costs. Crash-involved motorcyclists ; accounted for $0.4 billion in monetary costs and $0.8 billion in total costs. Injury-crash involved ; unrestrained occupants accounted for $0.5 billion in monetary costs and $1.2 billion in total costs. Based ; on dollar losses to the state, the magnitude of the problem of traffic crashes exceeded that of index crimes ; in 2009."
