a sports-related injury

domestic abuse

choking on food

Answer 1

Domestic abuse is an example of intentional injury.  The person doing the abuse mean to hurt the other person.

The other two happen by "accident" unintentional.

Answer 2

Domestic abuse is always 100% an intentional injury. The abuser intended on causing the victim injury and harm.

A sports-related injury could be either unintentional - which would make it an accident, or intentional - if one player injured another on purpose for personal/team gain.

Choking on food is 100% an unintentional injury as it is an involuntary action and therefore an accident.
