Traumatic injury can result in serious disability and is a leading cause of death in this nation. Many injuries can be prevented or avoided, including those from auto and motorcycle crashes, bicycle crashes, gun violence, or even seemingly simple crashes, such as a fall within your own home. Behavior and environmental modifications, as well as consistent use of safety equipment, can help to decrease the incidence of events resulting in injury.

Prevention laws and programs have been proven to save lives in many ways:

  • Seat belts have saved over 250,000 lives since 1975
  • Motorcycle helmets are estimated to have saved 1,544 lives in 2010 alone
  • The Graduated Driver Licensing Law (GDL) for new teen drivers has been estimated to decrease deaths on the road by up to 14%
  • Bicycle helmets are estimated to reduce head injury by 85%
