Accidents

Description
An accident is an undesirable and unexpected event that causes personal injury, material (damage to patrimony) or financial damage, and occurs so unintentionally. They may be caused by humans, animals and natural causes. An incident is different from an accident, because incidents are where someone is at fault. It's possible to investigate and learn with accidents, so we can avoid them in the future. This is sometimes called root cause analysis, but does not generally apply to accidents that cannot be predicted with any certainty.
