Abstract We studied 470 crash- and noncrash-related road transportation injuries to vehicle occupants, bicyclists, and pedestrians seen at a trauma center in Vermont. Among primary care patients, crash and noncrash groups had similar AIS and average disability at one year. Hospitalized patients had longer disability, but a majority of overall disability days and ongoing disability was found among nonhospitalized patients. Seventy-four percent of hospital bills were paid by insurance, 16% by government, 3% by self, with 7% unpaid. Limiting the sample only to hospitalized patients, or including referred patients, markedly affected—but in different ways—distributions of event type, body area injured, charges, and other characteristics.
