accidental deaths
Unplanned fatal outcomes
Deaths that occur unintentionally, typically through mishap, negligence, or unforeseen circumstances rather than illness, suicide, or violence.
The phrase appears frequently in legal and insurance contexts, where the distinction between accidental and other causes of death affects liability and payouts: The policy covers accidental deaths but not deaths from pre-existing conditions.
