How might a DWI crash resulting in injury be more expensive than one resulting in death?

The option indicating that ongoing medical rehabilitation costs contribute to a DWI crash resulting in injury being more expensive than one resulting in death is correct because injured individuals often require extensive and prolonged medical treatment. This can include emergency care, hospital stays, surgeries, physical therapy, and continued rehabilitation, which accumulate significant costs over time. In contrast, while fatal accidents incur costs related to legal proceedings and immediate impacts, they do not generate those ongoing medical expenses associated with prolonged injuries.

Continuously escalating medical bills through rehabilitation for injuries, potential lost wages due to inability to work, and the long-term care many individuals need can cause the overall costs to surpass those incurred by a fatal accident, where expenses may be more limited in scope.
