The neiss package provides access to the last five years of data (2013-2017) from the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System, which is a sample of all accidents reported to emergency rooms in the US.
It currently contains three datasets:
injuries: individual injury resultsproducts: product code lookup tablepopulation: population of the US by age, sex, and year
Inspired by flowing data.
neiss is not currently on CRAN but you can install it with devtools:
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("hadley/neiss")But please note that this will take a while to download because the data is quite large.
