Accidental injuries are unintentional harm that occurs due to unexpected events. These injuries can happen in various settings, such as at home, on the road, or during recreational activities. Common examples include falls, cuts, burns, and car accidents. Preventing accidental injuries often involves safety measures, such as using seat belts in cars, installing handrails on stairs, and keeping hazardous materials out of reach of children. Awareness and education about potential risks can help reduce the likelihood of these injuries occurring in everyday life.
