The National Council on Compensation Insurance's Injury Characteristics & Insights Dashboard contains a huge amount of good info for risk managers.

The dashboard provides:
This example from the dashboard shows an interesting severity statistic that is worth knowing: injury severity by source.
I had always thought that burns were the most severe injury type. I was incorrect. The highest severity of injuries comes as a result of motor vehicle injuries.
Then, when I went back through the old client files, this info was correct. Wow, that is why I will use this dashboard more in the future.
One thing the motor vehicle accident ranking with the highest severity cost shows is the need for workers' comp claims adjusters to heavily investigate subrogation.
If you decide to use any of this dashboard data for presentations, please make sure you provide a backlink.
