Do traffic accidents constitute one of the leading causes of injury in today's society?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Correct: Yes, and also of mortality. Traffic accidents are considered by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the DGT as a priority public health problem. They are not only one of the leading causes of death (especially among the young population), but they also generate a very high number of seriously injured people with permanent aftereffects (injuries). Therefore, stating that they do not cause mortality or that they are not relevant is false, since their human impact and economic cost are devastating for society.
