摘要：AbstractThe road traffic accidents are a worldwide problem that has led several countries and organizations to gather efforts to reverse the current scenario. Annually, it makes millions of deaths, leaving many other people with physical or psychological disturbances. The understanding of scenarios related to non-fatal victims of traffic provides managers improved means to plan and implement preventive actions. Based on indicators and absolute numbers, this work presents the Brazilian scenario of non-fatal victims of traffic accidents. The data indicate that men and young people are the biggest victims, and that each hospitalization costs (on average) to the public treasury more than R$ 1,300.00. The Northeast region as the highest cause for concern, requires immediate action to mitigate damages caused by traffic in their society.
