Considering their social and economic consequences, who bears the costs of road traffic crashes?

Correct answer

Society, including victims, families, public services and insurers.

They fall on society, including victims and their families, public services and insurers. Costs include property damage, healthcare, lost productivity and human consequences. Insurance may cover particular liabilities but does not eliminate every social cost or mean that each person pays for every crash. These costs are not attributed here to fines or tolls.
