Methodological Notes
1. Road traffic accidents data is compiled from administrative information provided by the Malta Police Force and the Malta Insurance Association (LESA).
2. Definitions:
a. Total road traffic accidents consist of the road traffic accidents involving casualties (police reports) and the minor road traffic accidents without casualties (police and warden reports).
b. Non-injury (minor) road traffic accidents refer to accidents assessed by wardens and/or the police involving at least one vehicle and in which no persons are injured. Non-injury road traffic accidents which are either not reported or directly reported to insurance agencies by means of the Traffic Accident Form (i.e. where no police or wardens are called on the accident scene and are settled by the completion of the relevant form) are not accounted for.
c. Insignificant injury is determined by the police as the sustaining of a very minimal injury (e.g. bruise, scratch, etc.) or shock due to accident which, in most cases, requires very basic treatment or no treatment at all.
d. The definition of slight injury is as listed in Art. 221 et sequitur of the Criminal Code, Chapter 9 of the Laws of Malta.
e. The definition of grievous injury is as listed in Art. 216 et sequitur of the Criminal Code, Chapter 9 of the Laws of Malta.
f. United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) defines road fatal injury as: “Any person who was killed outright or who died within 30 days as a result of the accident”.
g. Road traffic accident fatalities data may be subject to revisions. For certain cases, the NSO may need to wait for the cause of the fatality to be duly established by the conclusions of a magisterial inquiry.
3. The casualty-to-accident ratio indicates the risk level of suffering an injury in an accident. Therefore, a higher percentage rate means that the corresponding accidents were more serious (i.e. more persons were injured).
4. Data is subject to revision.
