Injuries, whether unintentional, self-inflicted or violence-related, continue to be leading causes of death and morbidity among Virginians across the life span. Transportation injuries, poisonings, falls, fires and burns, drowning, firearm injuries, self-inflicted injuries and assault are largely responsible for this toll. These injuries are preventable through environmental modification, behavior change, and widespread use of safety devices.
