Meaning Of Accident
There are several ways to understand the meaning of an accident:
- Unplanned: Accidents are not something we intend to happen. They occur unexpectedly.
- Harmful: Accidents can cause injuries, damage to property, or even death.
- Unexpected: Accidents happen without warning, making them difficult to predict.

- Falling: Tripping over objects, slipping on wet floors, or falling from heights.
- Burns: Getting burned by hot objects, like stoves or irons.
