How many working hours are lost through traffic accidents in the UK each year?

Question

It is not just the time at the site of the crash but the knock-on time at hospitals, out-patient visits, sorting out insurance details, police interviews, sorting out temporary or new vehicle, court appearance where necessary and, of course, telling colleagues all about it.

Answer 1

That is just about impossible to figure out due to many factors that you have pointed out but I did find that the “average” time spent at a traffic accident is 1-½ hours if that helps.

But if I were to guess at the amount of wasted working hours, it would have to be in the millions especially the after accident replaying to all of the co-workers, that will go on for years…..
