Statistics show you are much more likely to be injured in an accident than to die from one.

•  A fatal injury occurs every 5 minutes, and a disabling injury occurs every second. [1]

While many people survive accidental injuries, many others live with serious illness

•  In the United States, men have slightly less than a 1-in-2 lifetime risk of developing cancer; for women, the risk is a little more than 1-in-3. [2]

•  One in three adult men and women has some form of cardiovascular disease. High blood pressure is the most common form of cardiovascular disease. [3]

Advances in medicine are allowing us to live longer. However, recovery from a serious illness or injury often requires time away from work.

•  More than a quarter of stroke victims are under age 65. [4]

•  The five-year survival rate for all cancers diagnosed between 1995 and 2001 is 65 percent. [2]
