Ongeval

The term “Ongeval” is Dutch for “accident.” It refers to an unexpected event that results in harm, injury, damage, or disruption. Accidents can occur in various contexts, including traffic incidents, workplace mishaps, and domestic situations. The term encompasses both minor incidents, such as slips or falls, as well as serious events like car crashes or industrial accidents. The common element in all accidents is the element of unpredictability and the unintended consequences that follow. In many cases, accidents can lead to legal discussions surrounding liability and responsibility, as well as inquiries into how to prevent similar occurrences in the future. The focus on safety measures and accident prevention is a critical aspect of many industries to reduce the frequency and severity of such events.
