Traffic **accidents** have a significant impact on people's lives, not only in terms of material damage but also in the human realm.

- **Loss of years of life**: When a person dies in an accident, years of life that the person could have lived are lost. This is an important human cost, as it directly affects the lifespan of the people involved.

- **Suffering of the victims and their loved ones**: The death or serious injury of a person in a traffic accident causes **physical and psychological suffering** not only to the victim but also to their family and friends. This suffering is a human cost that goes beyond the economic or material.

For these reasons, the human costs in a traffic accident include both the lost years of life and the suffering of the victims and their loved ones, which makes the first response the correct one.
