ABSTRACT
Reports of the World Health Organization make known that the non-intentional lesions and the violence (intentional injuries) are a threatening possibility for the world's health and they represnt a 9 per cent of the whole mortality. Around 5,804,000 subjects die yearly due to lesions (16,000 subjects each day). Eight of the 15 causes of death, of the persons between 15 through 25 years old are related to violence or non-intentional injuries, whether they are produced by vehicular collisions, suicides, homicides, suffocation, burns, wars, poisoning or fallz. In Argentina, each year 8,000 subjects die due to vehicular collisions. According with the National Ministry of health, this number represents the 25 per cent of the deaths due to trauma. We think that it is interesing to present two aspects that require a conceptualization with a scientific support The recognition of trauma as a disease (the disease trauma), and the necessity to not use the term accident to design the lesional mechanism described for non-intentional truama. The participation of institutions in the control of the disease trauma is considered by the authors.
