Methodological note

Definition of concepts

Traffic accidents with casualties
Accidents that take place or are caused on a road or terrain covered by legislation on traffic, motor vehicle circulation and road safety, and as a result of which one or more persons are killed and/or injured.

Methodological aspects

The information related to traffic accidents with casualties comes from the Catalan Traffic Service provides the data by counties and the accident rates in Catalonia.

Note that any person who, as a result of an accident, dies either during the accident or in the following 24 hours or 30 days counts as a fatality.

Persons injured in a traffic accident requiring hospitalisation for more than 24 hours are considered seriously injured.

Persons injured in a traffic accident but who do not meet the definition of seriously injured are considered slightly injured.
