Correct answer

  • CCostes sanitariosHealth-care costs.
Explanation

The correct answer is health-care costs. These cover all spending related to the victims' health and their physical or psychological recovery. They include: 1. Immediate care: first aid and medical transport (ambulances). 2. Treatment: hospital stays, surgery and medicines. 3. Recovery: physical rehabilitation and therapies. 4. Long-term effects: prostheses and adaptations needed for daily life (such as adapting the home or the vehicle). They should not be confused with material costs (damage to vehicles, the road and its surroundings) or administrative costs (insurance handling, police, fire brigade and legal services).
