Employers pay significant costs associated with motor vehicle crashes. When employees are involved in traffic incidents, companies are exposed to liability risks and legal expenses, not to mention lost time, decreased productivity, increased insurance and workers’ compensation rates. 

As a reminder, the average cost of a non-fatal workplace motor vehicle accident is approximately $65,000 in direct costs. This does not take into consideration indirect cost such as the physiological damage to the injured and other workers, lost productivity, decreased moral, OSHA fines, corrective action, supervisor time for investigations, damaged equipment and dissatisfied customers. Studies have shown that for every dollar the company spends in direct cost they can spend 4-52 times that on indirect costs.
