Best Answer

According to a 2014 study by the IIHS, men are more likely to get in an accident:

"Many more men than women die each year in motor vehicle crashes. Men typically drive more miles than women and more often engage in risky driving practices including not using safety belts, driving while impaired by alcohol, and speeding. Crashes involving male drivers often are more severe than those involving female drivers. 1However, females are more likely than males to be killed or injured in crashes of equal severity, although gender differences in fatality risk diminish with age."

What to do if someone is falsely claiming they were injured in a car accident?

It is not clear from your question why it would even concern you, or why you would have to do anything, if someone is falsely claiming that they were injured in a car accident. If, however, they falsely claimed that you had injured them by causing the car accident in question, even then it is more likely to be the concern of your insurance company, than of you personally. The insurance company is likely to require a medical examination to get at the truth of the matter.
