“…Unlike the previous study of injured victims reported by Tournier et al [12], this study did not find evidence of a temporal effect for the reporting of income loss in the family whereby the loss diminished over time post-crash. In the case of RTF family members the financial loss appears to be persistent and long-lasting.…”

“…Tournier et al [12] found that intention to lodge a complaint was a risk factor for adverse occupational impacts. This implies that placing complaints, or filing lawsuits, might wear upon the injured person and their family, and make work life circumstances more difficult.…”

“…The majority of literature of the impact and consequences of road-traffic crashes concentrates on studying the surviving injured victims of serious collisions [8, 12–16]. While the impact of fatal crashes on the victim’s family members has seldom been the focus of systematic investigation, family members of persons killed in traffic crashes might well be imagined to be greatly affected in many ways, both directly and indirectly.…”

“…Subjective measures concern principally the psychological effects of crash involvement on quality of life; fear, stress-related anxieties, and sleep interruption from crash re-enactment dreams and PTSD in some cases are the types of psychological outcomes typically documented. Although some previous studies have employed both subjective and objective measures of outcomes, research studies usually emphasize the more easily quantified objective measures, namely the monetary calculation [9, 12, 16]. …”

BackgroundRoad traffic fatalities (RTF) are among the top ten causes of deaths in the world. The risk factors for RTF fatal victims have been extensively characterized, but studies of household burden of RTF have been very few in number. Accordingly, this article investigates post-crash impacts on RTF victims’ family members, including the adverse impacts of lost income, occupational disruption, unfavorable family dynamics, and residential relocation.MethodsSurvey data from 1291 RTF family members interviewed in Taiwan in 2012 provide the evidence of impact used in this article. Twelve variables related to the family member’s socio-demographic background were used to predict the scope of the adverse impact of a fatal crash in regression models developed for this analysis.ResultsRTF victims’ spouses with relatively low personal incomes and strong dependence upon the crash victims were found to be most likely to experience a marked decrease in post- crash quality of life. RTF victims’ family members who lived with few other adult cohabitants and had more juvenile dependents and were emotionally dependent on the victims were found to be quite likely to experience post- crash setbacks in occupational stability. RTF victims’ family members who were emotionally dependent on the victims were found to be more likely to experience major family life disruptions. The younger the RTF victims’ family members, and the more years since the crash, the higher the likelihood of residential relocation taking place.ConclusionsThe results noted help identify those RTF victims’ families that will most likely be adversely affected by the crash. The true societal costs of RTF crashes should include the adversities suffered by the fatal crash victims’ families. Social welfare policies, mental health support, and timely supplemental resources should be made available to those surviving families most at risk of major life disruptions.

“…According to the way of getting around, there was an association with lost productivity for those who used two-wheeled vehicles. These findings were similar to those of the study by Tournier et al 30 and help to reinforce the discussion on the importance of TA repercussions among users of two-wheeled vehicles, especially when assessing the severity of injuries 7 and the economic impacts generated 31 . Although the consensus on body exposure and the severity of bodily injuries is higher in cyclists and pedestrians, the increase Table 3.…”

RESUMO: Objetivo: Estudar fatores associados à perda de produtividade em pessoas envolvidas em acidentes de trânsito (AT). Métodos: Realizou-se uma coorte prospectiva de base comunitária no município de Jequié, Bahia, Brasil, entre 2013 e 2015. Foi aplicado instrumento de coleta em forma de formulário em participantes que se envolviam em AT, seguido de entrevistas a cada quatro meses. Investigou-se, por meio da análise bivariada e multivariável, a associação entre perda de produtividade e variáveis sociodemográficas e ocupacionais, condições de saúde e gravidade das lesões. Resultados: Observaram-se incidência cumulativa de perda de produtividade de 61,1% e densidade de incidência geral de 7,45 casos/100 pessoas/mês. A análise multivariável demonstrou associação com perda de produtividade para quem utilizava o veículo como instrumento de trabalho (razão de densidade de incidência - RDI = 4,23; intervalo de confiança de 95% (IC95%) = 2,90 - 6,17) e aqueles que apresentaram lesão corporal (RDI = 2,80; IC95% = 1,62 - 4,85). Conclusão: São necessárias políticas públicas que assegurem a segurança no trânsito a fim de minimizar os efeitos dos AT sobre a produtividade, além da realização de novos estudos na área para ampliar o conhecimento sobre o tema.
