Resumo
Objective: the study aims to describe the estimates of land traffic accident (TA) events seen in emergency services at the
Federal District and 23 Brazilian State capitals in 2009. Methods: data on TA were used, obtained from survey on emergency
medical care for external causes in public health services (VIVA Survey 2009). Results: among 35,646 emergency visits for
unintentional injuries, 9,934 (27.9%) visits were identified as TA, in 74 emergency services included in the survey; there were
a greater number of male victims (71.6%), young from 20 to 29 years of age (35.0%) and mulattos (52.4%); about 27.0% of
the TA was work related; there was suspicion/report of alcohol consumption before the event in 17.2% of the visits; most of the
visits referred to accidents involving motorcycles (50.9%) and bicycles (18.4%). Conclusion: considering the magnitude of
the traffic injuries in emergency services, it becomes necessary to advance in measures directed to reducing traffic accidents.
