Misadventure
Misadventure refers to an unfortunate incident or accident that occurs unexpectedly, often resulting in harm or injury. It typically involves a situation where an individual faces an unforeseen challenge or danger, leading to negative outcomes. Misadventures can happen in various contexts, such as outdoor activities, travel, or everyday life.
In legal terms, misadventure may also describe a cause of death that results from an accident rather than foul play. For example, if someone dies while engaging in a risky activity like rock climbing or skydiving, it may be classified as a misadventure, indicating that the death was accidental and not due to negligence.
