We differentiate between no injuries, minor injuries, severe injuries, and fatalities, finding significant gender differences. These results hold even after controlling for vehicle dimensions. We extend the model to account for physical and biological factors, isolating their effects and highlighting gender disparities. This study, the first of its kind in Spain, demonstrates the importance of considering gender differences in automobile safety and accident outcomes.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/embargoedAccess53 Ciencias Económicasjournal articlecar accidentssexseverityinjurysafetytransport
