An '''accident''' is a specific, identifiable, unexpected, unusual and unintended external [[action]] which occurs in a particular [[time]] and place, without apparent or deliberate cause but with marked effects. It implies a generally negative [[Probability|probabilistic]] outcome which may have been avoided or prevented had circumstances leading up to the accident been recognized, and acted upon, prior to its occurrence.

Experts in the field of injury prevention avoid use of the term 'accident' to describe [[events]] that cause injury in an attempt to highlight the [[predictable]] and preventable [[nature]] of most injuries. Such incidents are viewed from the [[perspective]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epidemiology epidemiology] - predictable and preventable. Preferred [[words]] are more descriptive of the event itself, rather than of its unintended nature (e.g., collision, drowning, fall, etc.)
