The injured victim’s health care spending: is there an effect of the origin of accident?

Résumé

The aim of this study is to identify if the origin of an accident makes a difference in health care spending incurred by disabled victim. We analyse and model the amount of medical spending for victims whose disabilities are resulting from accidents occurring at home, at work and on road. Data about medical spending were provided by the social security fund in France. These data outline the amount incurred by different disabled persons in the different medical specialties. The results of the model show that although the victims of different types of accident are suffering from the same chronic diseases, they show different levels of medical spending. Persons injured in a road accident have a higher recourse to medical treatments.
