thought?

In 2013, injuries accounted for 59% of

deaths for people aged 1 to 44 in the

United States.

That’s 1 person every 3 minutes.

There were reportedly 31 million

injury cases that resulted in emergency

visits that year.

About 2.5 million people were

hospitalized due to injury.

Leading cause of death for people

between the ages of 1 to 44 is Unintentional

Injury.

emergency room has suffered from

Unintentional Injury. Examples are car

accidents and drug overdose.
