Accident proneness

{{ExpPsy}]

Accident proneness is a loose term used to describe why a person has an increased likilihood of being involved in accidents. The implication is that they may be contributing to the cause of the accidents, either consciously or unconsciously.

However accident prone individuals may have more accidents due to structural aspects of their lives, like working in dangerous environments, driving long distances etc.

While of course somebody has to be on the long tail of the frequency distribution. They may just be unlucky.
