accidental damage
Unplanned physical harm
Accidental damage is harm that occurs unintentionally, without deliberate action—distinguished from normal wear and tear or willful destruction.
The phrase appears most often in insurance contexts, where policies may or may not cover it: The warranty doesn't include accidental damage.
