Toyota Yaris ranked worst among injury claims in insurance study

Friday, September 21st, 2012 Liability

If you drive the Toyota Yaris, be careful. That’s because you’re more likely to get injured in the tiny subcompact than in any other vehicle in a crash, according to an insurance industry study released Thursday. The Highway Loss Data Institute looked at insurance statistics for model years 2009-11 and found personal injury claims were filed 28.5 times for every 1,000 Yaris vehicles the industry insured. The Suzuki SX4, a small crossover, had the second-highest risk of injury to its occupants, posting 26.6 claims per 1,000 of the vehicles insured.
