The real cost of accidents

Calculating the real cost of vehicle accidents can be an alarming experience. Aside from the tragic personal consequences, the practical day-to-day costs can soon mount up. Consider the cost of repairing or replacing a vehicle, the increased insurance or risk premiums, the cost of re-appointing and re-training key personnel, the time and money lost in post-collision administration, as well as lost production and lost sales.

As a conservative example take a 100-vehicle fleet with on average six accidents per annum. Whilst the average vehicle repair cost is £750, the real cost is more like five times that which equals £2800. Multiply this figure by six, the average number of accidents, then this makes the real cost nearer    to £16,800.
