accidental harm

Read a random definition: incidental

A quick definition of accidental harm:

Accidental harm is when someone gets hurt or something gets damaged by accident, without anyone meaning to do it on purpose. This is different from when someone intentionally hurts someone or something, which is called a tortious act. Accidental harm can be physical, like getting a cut or breaking a toy, or it can be social, like causing a problem that is protected by the law.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Accidental harm refers to any injury, loss, or damage that is not caused by a deliberate or intentional act. It can be physical, material, or social in nature.

  • Bodily harm: This refers to any physical pain, illness, or impairment of the body that is not caused intentionally. For example, if someone accidentally bumps into you and you fall and hurt your arm, that would be considered accidental bodily harm.
  • Physical harm: This refers to any physical impairment of land, chattels, or the human body. For example, if a tree falls on your car during a storm and damages it, that would be considered accidental physical harm.
  • Social harm: This refers to any adverse effect on any social interest that is protected by the criminal law. For example, if someone accidentally starts a fire that damages a public park, that would be considered accidental social harm.

These examples illustrate how accidental harm can occur without any intention or malice on the part of the person causing the harm. It is important to distinguish accidental harm from intentional harm, as intentional harm may be subject to legal consequences.

There's a motion detector in front of the women's bathroom so my boss can keep track of how often we go to the bathroom
Which I'm pretty sure is workplace discrimination

@JupitersMoons: I would talk to your boss about that cus that sounds very illegal
I'm totally sure it's illegal lol. Like looked into workplace discrimination law and yeah. I think his defense would be "It's to see how many people leave the office" (women's bathroom doors are right next to the elevator, but the camera is literally right in front of the bathroom door
)
