Accidental injury

Accidental injury means getting hurt by mistake. Just like when you accidentally bump your head on the table or you accidentally fall while running. Accidental injuries can happen to anyone, anywhere, and anytime. It's important to be careful and pay attention to your surroundings so you don't accidentally get hurt. If you do get hurt, it's important to tell an adult and get the help you need to feel better.
