I think Ryan was not referring to the cost of insurance claims, but to the total estimated social cost. For example, see this Transport Canada study from 2007:

http://www.tc.gc.ca/media/documents/road...

Across all collision severities the average social cost of a collision in Ontario in 2004 was $77 thousand. By major consequence of collision the average full (including all allocated) social cost was:

• Fatality — $13.6 million.

• Major injury — $280 thousand

• Minor injury —$48 thousand.

• Minimal injury — $18 thousand.

and overall

Motor vehicle collisions generated $18 billion in social costs in Ontario in 2004. Fatalities in those collisions were the largest single contributor to social costs at $11 billion.
