MULTIPLICITY OF INJURY IN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENTS

SIX GROSS AREAS OF THE HUMAN BODY ARE DEFINED, AND DATA ON INJURY TO ANY ONE OR TO ANY COMBINATION OF THEM ARE TABULATED AND EXAMINED. FREQUENT AS WELL AS RARE INJURY COMBINATIONS ARE IDENTIFIED; SO ARE SEVERE AND MILD INJURY COMBINATIONS. AMONG HIGH RISK INJURY COMBINATIONS, LETHALITY OF INJURY IS EXAMINED. ANALYSIS IS MADE OF INJURY COMBINATIONS OCCURRING MORE FREQUENTLY OR LESS FREQUENTLY THAN EXPECTED, AND OF ASSOCIATIONS AMONG THE SIX BODY AREAS IN REGARD TO INJURY.
