injurious and damaging accidents
Hi,
By "injurious and damaging accidents", I mean accidents which lead to human injuries and vehicular damage". Does it convey the meaning?
"The questionnaires used in this study were Demographic Information Questionnaire (age, marital status, number of children, driving experience, work experience, having injurious and damaging accidents during the past year, the number of hours of rest during the past 24 hours for night workers …), 28-item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ), and 11-item Normal Physiological Cycle questionnaire. All questionnaires were completed before the shift start. The validity and reliability of these tools have been proved in previous studies."

It depends how precise you want to be.
eg If a car runs over a bicycle, there can be damage to the bicycle but not damage to the vehicle.
eg If a car runs over a cat, there can be injury to the cat but not injury to a person.
