Cost is based on the NHTSA report linked in the sources (b). This report aggregates data from 2019 and includes different aspects such as medical costs, infrastructure costs as well as loss of productivity. The values have been adjusted for inflation since 2019 as per the Bureau of Labor Statistics (c).
