accident deaths
Unintended lethal outcomes
Deaths resulting from unintentional events rather than illness, suicide, or homicide.
The phrase appears primarily in statistical and public health contexts: Accident deaths among children have declined since car seat laws took effect.
Common categories include traffic fatalities, falls, drownings, and poisonings.
The term emphasizes that these deaths, while not deliberate, are often preventable.
