The present article deals with individual probabilities of different levels of injury in case of a motorcycle accident. The approach uses an empirical Bayesian method based on the Multinomial-Dirichlet model, see [Leonard, T., 1977. A Bayesian approach to some Multinomial estimation and pretesting problems, J. Am.
