A quick definition of unavoidable casualty:

Unavoidable casualty: An event that happens unexpectedly and cannot be prevented by human skill or reasonable foresight. Examples include accidents caused by natural disasters, sudden illness or death, or other uncontrollable physical causes. It is different from a culpable accident, which is caused by negligence. Unavoidable casualty is sometimes used as a defense against liability in civil or criminal cases.

A more thorough explanation:

An unavoidable casualty is an event that cannot be prevented because it is caused by an irresistible physical force that cannot be foreseen or prevented by human skill or reasonable foresight. This type of event is also known as an unavoidable accident or pure accident.

Examples of unavoidable casualties include accidents resulting from natural disasters such as lightning, storms, earthquakes, or sudden illness or death. These events are beyond human control and cannot be prevented by taking reasonable precautions.

For instance, if a driver is involved in a car accident due to a sudden storm that caused the road to become slippery, it would be considered an unavoidable casualty. The driver could not have foreseen the storm or prevented the accident by taking reasonable precautions.

Similarly, if a person is injured due to a sudden illness or medical emergency, it would be considered an unavoidable casualty. The person could not have prevented the illness or emergency by taking reasonable precautions.

In summary, an unavoidable casualty is an event that cannot be prevented due to an irresistible physical force that cannot be foreseen or prevented by human skill or reasonable foresight.

Help us make LSD better!
Tell us what's important to you
I am not an expert but I would imagine with your stats a lot of schools will think you have options so I would recommend writing about why that location is a top choice for you not just the school being a top choice. Try to show/convince them you will attend.
