accident statistics

Mishap occurrence numbers

Accident statistics are numerical data about accidents—their frequency, causes, severity, and outcomes.

Insurance companies, government agencies, and safety researchers collect and analyze accident statistics to identify patterns, assess risk, and inform policy: Accident statistics show teen drivers are more likely to crash in the first year of licensure.

The term often appears in discussions of traffic safety, workplace hazards, or public health.
