Research & statistics
Highlights from the Institute's research since 1969
The Institute takes the guesswork out of selecting boosters most likely to provide good lap and shoulder belt fit for your child in a range of vehicles.
Information and videos designed to help choose the right type of restraint for your child's age and size; general information on installation and use is also provided.
37,261 people died in motor vehicle crashes in 2008. The Institute publishes statistical facts about the motor vehicle safety picture in 2008, the most recent year for which fatality data are available. Fatality Facts are updated once a year, when the US Department of Transportation releases data from the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS).
Q&As, which address frequently asked questions about highway safety, are updated continuously, as relevant information is acquired.
These pages show losses for hundreds of passenger vehicles grouped by body style and size under six insurance coverages: collision, property damage liability, comprehensive personal injury protection, medical payment, and bodily injury.
HLDI results are based on analysis of the losses of more than 150 million vehicles under 6 insurance coverages. These losses vary widely not only among vehicle size/type groups but also among vehicle models that are similar in size and type.
Periodically the Institute publishes short advisories about topics of special interest to insurers. Because these topics often relate to what's current in the field of highway safety, the advisories may also be of interest to reporters and general readers. The Institute has been publishing advisories since 1987.
