An accident is a specific, unidentifiable, unexpected, unusual and unintended external action which occurs in a particular time and place, with no apparent and deliberate cause but with marked effects. It implies a generally negative outcome which may have been avoided or prevented had circumstances leading up to the accident been recognized, and acted upon, prior to its occurrence. Experts in the field of injury prevention avoid use of the term 'accident' to describe events that cause injury in an attempt to highlight the predictable and preventable nature of most injuries. Such incidents are viewed from the perspective of epidemiology - predictable and preventable. Preferred words are more descriptive of the event itself, rather than of its unintended nature (e.g., collision, drowning, fall, etc.) Accidents of particularly common types (auto, fire, etc.) are investigated to identify how to avoid them in the future. This is sometimes called root cause analysis, but does not generally apply to accidents that cannot be deterministically predicted. A root cause of an uncommon and purely random accident may never be identified, and thus future similar accidents remain "accidental." From Wikipedia under the

Answered by jfmm - Mon Aug 14 06:48:16 2006 How many accidents should be expected the first week after potty training a young toddler? Q. Sorry to ask again, but I wanted more answers than I got the other day in the toddler section. Would you expect one or more accidents a day in the beginning, or not even that? Can you give me an idea of what's a normal # of accidents (and for how long) while still considering the child to be making progress? Should there just be way more hits than misses, or is there a general number of times? Thanks! yes, the first week after starting the process of teaching them how to go, etc. Asked by jen - Tue Apr 13 15:33:46 2010 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments A. Do you mean the first week after starting potty training, or the first week after finishing potty training? If you are finished potty training, accidents will be few and far between (less than one a week for sure). If you just started potty training a week ago, you can expect one or more accidents a day, I would think. I kept mine in pull ups until we were finished potty training, so I never really considered them accidents, more like "misses" I suppose. I switched to underwear once the pull-up was dry all day for a few days in a row. After that there were maybe one or two accidents over several months.

Q. I was wondering about whether car accidents happen more during the week or on weekends? We're on the road right now (sat.11/1/08) and not even 15 min on the road and we already dealt with two crazy a** drivers. So my husband and I came up with question, Thanks in advance!
