Abstract

339675 accidents with private cars were analyzed with respect to injuries to car occupants. In these accidents, 14361 person were injured. The risk of permanent disability due to different injuries is derived and linked to AIS values to different body regions. A rating system for injuries based on the risk of death or permanent disability is proposed. The rating system called RSC, risk of serious consequences, used ISS and AIS for different body regions. RSC was used to describe differences in injuries to belted and unbelted car occupants.
