Close to 5699.000,000 a year is the ainnuaj economic loss due. to
automobile accidents,; both, fatal and non-fatal. This appalling. sum
It nly an estimate, as no complete figujres on the number of auto
mobile accidents 1n the United States are available, but it has been
conservatively estimated that 22,600 lofce their lire each' year by
automobiles and $5000 a human life is the lowest ralue put on it
by economists. : V J --. ;
pt non-fatal 'accidents C7S.000 occur annually, causing average
cffc of $175. Then, each accident averages 15 property damage, in
