Who ultimately ends up bearing the economic costs produced by traffic accidents?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is all citizens, directly or indirectly. It is a common mistake to think that only insurance companies pay. Accidents generate a global cost (estimated at 2% of the GDP) which is distributed as follows: Indirectly (Taxes): Citizens fund emergency services, police, firefighters, legal costs, and public healthcare required after an accident. Directly (Insurance): Although the insurer pays the compensation, the money comes from the premiums paid by all policyholders; higher accident rates mean more expensive policies for everyone. Loss of resources: Productive years of life and work capacity are lost, affecting the country's economy.
