Accident

An accident is an unexpected and unintended event that results in damage, injury, or harm. It typically occurs suddenly and without warning, often leading to unforeseen consequences. Accidents can happen in various contexts, including personal injury incidents (such as falls or car crashes), workplace mishaps, or environmental disasters. The defining characteristic of an accident is its lack of intent; it is not a deliberate act but rather a result of unforeseen circumstances or human error. The outcomes of accidents can range from minor injuries to significant damage or loss of life, and they often prompt investigations to determine causes and prevent future occurrences.
