N2  - This study examined the seriousness of traffic accidents that happen-either on work errands or during commuting. The article was based on three independently gathered data sets, of which two were based on compensation claims to the insurance companies (N=2,050 and N=17,108) and one on the interviews of victims (N=328). The traffic accidents at work led to a major injury or death more often than the commuting accidents. On the other hand, the work-related traffic accidents were less serious than the leisure-time traffic accidents. One explanation could be that heavy vehicles used during the working hours protected the drivers of these vehicles.
