Contributing factors would be the distribution of the species, aggression, venom yield, toxicity of venom, and habits of the snakes. Obviously a fairly venomous species that is found in vast reaches of the earth will kill more humans than a violently venomous species ...

The target of cobra neurotoxin, called the acetylcholine receptor, appears to play a role in Parkinson's disease, schizophrenia, and myasthenia gravis, which debilitates the muscles.
