An accident is something that was not intended; it may involve damage to property (such as a car) or it may refer to making a mistake you did not plan on. (In this usage, you may see it an adverb: "accidentally.") Two examples: (1) He was lucky that the automobile accident only caused minor front-end damage. (2) I accidentally dropped my notebook and now I can't find it. As for an injury, it refers to some part of the body that was hurt-- perhaps while playing sports, or slipping on some ice, or being struck by someone. It can be used as an adjective: "injured." Two examples: (1) The quarterback suffered an ankle injury when he was tackled, but he thinks he will be able to play next week. (2) During the robbery, she was injured when the thief pushed her against the building. Note that some accidents can cause injury (in a car accident, a person may become injured)-- but not every accident brings this result. Also, note that an accident is an event or an occurrence you did not expect; an injury is a medical condition (a sprain, a broken bone, a severe cut, etc) that may have been expected as part of playing a certain sport, but is still painful and may require medical attention.
