This report examines 2005 hospital discharge data reporting cases where the external cause of injury to a vehicle occupant was a motor vehicle crash to predict the estimated savings the State of New Hampshire if a primary seat belt law is implemented. The savings are calculated using costs based on the report Economic Impact of Motor Vehicle Crashes (DOT HS 809-446). In New Hampshire, there is an expectation of a primary law reducing the burden of insurance companies by about $5.1 million from crashes occurring in a single year alone. The citizens of New Hampshire would benefit by a reduction of $1.2 million while the Federal Government would reduce its costs by $1.2 million. The State of New Hampshire would also reduce its spending by more than $400,000.
