Actually, the AAA (American Automobile Association) recently released a report showing the total cost per year to be $164.2 billion, or just over $1,000 per person. They compared this to a Texas study that found the cost of congestion on highways was $67.6 billion. They did their study to raise awareness of the cost of accidents, which few people complain about, compared to congestion, which many people complain about.

Traffic crashes by far. Most recent stats I could find showed about 29,500 total firearm deaths in the US (not just handguns, all firearms). Traffic crashes accounted for about 42,500 deaths. If you're talking about accidental deaths (that is, many of the 29,500 firearm deaths are intentional), traffic accidents are much, much more likely to cause a death than an accidental firearm death.
The US Census provides statistics for the number of automobile fatalities per state, but not the number of total accidents. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration also publishes only fatalities. However, using the census data for the total number of accidents and fatalities, fatalities represent about .33% of all accidents. Using that, you can take the published number of fatalities (linked below), divide by .0033, and arrive at a reasonable estimate for total accidents.

True. The economic cost to society from crashes and injuries on U.S. highways is estimated to be around $242 billion annually. This figure encompasses various factors, including medical expenses, lost productivity, legal costs, and property damage. Such substantial costs highlight the significant impact of traffic accidents on the economy and public health.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration there are about 43,000 people killed in fatal car crashes each year in the United States. In addition to fatal accidents, about 2.9 million people are injured each year.
