How we calculate this

We calculate these costs using a method developed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, or NHTSA. It gives one set of costs for crashes with injuries and another for crashes with no reported injuries.

Crashes with injuries cost much more because the method includes things like lost work, medical care, and long-term harm. NHTSA says crash costs include "lost productivity, medical, legal and court costs, emergency service, insurance administration, congestion, property damage, and workplace losses."

These are estimates, not bills. "Other harm" is the part of the broader estimate that goes beyond direct bills and insurance claims. It captures pain, disability, and lost quality of life.

Recent concern: Lawmakers Question Hochul’s Insurance Claims In Leadup To Budget Rebuttal
  • 2026-02-27 · Leadership · Streetsblog Empire State · ↓ hurts grade
    At a budget hearing, lawmakers challenged Hochul’s insurance pitch. They warned caps and narrowed injury rules could strip crash victims of rights. Pedestrians, cyclists, and passengers were left with questions, not protections.
  • 2026-02-03 · Leadership · Streetsblog Empire State · ↑ helps grade
    Survivors blasted Gov. Hochul’s insurance plan. They said it would slash compensation after violent crashes. Passengers and pedestrians described surgeries, lost work, and insurers “lowballing” them.
  • 2026-02-02 · Leadership · Streetsblog Empire State · ↑ helps grade
    A Streetsblog explainer attacked Gov. Hochul’s insurance push. It said “serious injury” would shrink and payouts could vanish for many. The bill for harm shifts to the struck, not the insurer.
  • 2026-02-02 · Leadership · Streetsblog NYC · ↑ helps grade
    Feb. 2 brought a warning. Hochul’s plan narrows “serious injury” and cuts payouts. Victims lose. Insurers and big auto gain.
