Traffic **accidents** are an issue that affects **the entire society** for several reasons:

- **Human consequences**: Accidents are one of the main causes of injuries and deaths, especially among young people. This impacts not only the direct victims but also their families and communities.

- **Material consequences**: Accidents cause damage to vehicles, roads, and the environment, which implies repair and maintenance costs that affect everyone.

- **Medical and healthcare expenses**: A large investment of personnel and money is required to care for the injured, from first aid to rehabilitation and necessary adaptations for their recovery.

- **Expenditure on security resources**: Emergency services, such as police and firefighters, must intervene in accidents, which represents a significant expenditure of public resources.

For these reasons, the **World Health Organization** considers traffic accidents a public health issue that affects us all and invites us to collaborate to reduce the number of victims.
