There are many causes for epilepsy so in theory anyone can get it. A brain injury sustained in an accident could be one reason. So it is hard to prevent someone having accidents. In terms of someone who has epilepsy preventing their seizures, then taking medication and avoiding things that can trigger their particular seizures will help prevent them having their seizures. Even doing these things doesn't 100% guarantee that a person won't have a seizure as sometimes it is difficult to avoid things that may cause their seizures, like stress. There are so many causes and triggers for epilepsy and each person is different, so what works for one person may not work for another person or may even be totally irrelevant to another person as their seizures are caused by something else. For example it is commonly believed that flashing lights cause seizures. That is only for about 3% to 5% of people who have epilepsy. So for most people with epilepsy it is not necessary to keep away from flashing lights, as it has no affect on them.
