Improving the efficiency of motor transport enterprises requires considering the socio-economic consequences of road accidents. According to the Prosecutor General's Office of the Republic of Kazakhstan, 9.2 thousand accidents were registered in the first four months of 2025, resulting in 558 deaths and 12.5 thousand injuries. This is three times higher compared to the same period in 2023. The annual damage from road accidents amounts to 5% of the country's GDP (15 billion USD). To develop a methodology for assessing the socio-economic damage from road accidents in accordance with modern market requirements. The study analyzed the works of domestic and foreign scholars and statistical data, employing comparative analysis methods. The drawback of existing approaches is that they do not account for the differences in indicators at each stage of a person's life cycle and the cost variations of life support systems.The proposed methodology enables a more accurate assessment of damage from accidents, injuries, and disabilities.Understanding the scale of socio-economic damage allows for an objective assessment of the significance of the accident problem, determination of the resources allocated to address it, and enhancement of the effectiveness of road safety improvement programs.
