In the home, the leading cause is falling. Outside the home, more deaths are attributed to vehicular accidents caused by drunk driving than any other cause.

There are different leading causes for different ages groups and ethnicities. Generally, motor vehicle accidents, falls, poisoning, drowning and smoke/fire lead the reasons of accidental death across the board. Less than one percent is due to accidents involving firearms. The Bureau of National Vital Statistics reports annually on causes of accidental death.
