Research & statistics
Highlights from the Institute's research since 1969
The Institute takes the guesswork out of selecting boosters most likely to provide
good lap and shoulder belt fit for your child in a range of vehicles.
Information and videos designed to help choose the right type of restraint for your
child's age and size; general information on installation and use is also provided.
Fatality Facts
32,885 people died in motor vehicle crashes in 2010. The Institute publishes statistical facts about the motor vehicle safety picture in 2010, the most recent year for which fatality data are available. Fatality Facts are updated once a year, when the U.S. Department of Transportation releases data from the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS). Archive data for 2005-09 is also available.
Q&As, which address frequently asked questions about highway safety, are updated
continuously, as relevant information is acquired.
These pages show losses for hundreds of passenger vehicles grouped by body style
and size under six insurance coverages: collision, property damage liability, comprehensive
personal injury protection, medical payment, and bodily injury.
HLDI results are based on analysis of the losses of more than 150 million vehicles
under 6 insurance coverages. These losses vary widely not only among vehicle size/type
groups but also among vehicle models that are similar in size and type.
Periodically the Institute publishes short advisories about topics of special interest
to insurers. Because these topics often relate to what's current in the field of
highway safety, the advisories may also be of interest to reporters and general
readers. The Institute has been publishing advisories since 1987.
