Traumatic Injury Is No Accident

چکیده
Let me first consider the term “accident”. The Oxford English Dictionary notes that it comes from the Latin word “accidens” and the French verb “accidere” both meaning to fall towards. The Dictionary provides two basic descriptions of the word. The first is that it is an unfortunate incident that happens unexpectedly and unintentionally. The second description is that it is an event that happens by chance and that is without apparent or deliberate cause.
