Abstract

The major problems of medical and legal causation in traffic-associated fatalities have been reviewed, and the possible pitfalls in relating causation emphasized. In conclusion, the determination and evaluation of causality in vehicular traffic deaths may be a very complex process, requiring special skills and thorough understanding of medicolegal issues. Proper determination of medicolegal causality is crucial to the financial, legal, and medical interests of many individuals and social groups.
