How to use "Accidentally" in context?
In order to function as a successful society, we must depend on cooperation amongst our members. Cooperation requires that we take into account the positive aspects of others, as well as their intentions. Unfortunately, there are times when individuals act in ways that are detrimental to the group. This can be due to accident, or even on purpose.
One example of an accident is when one person spills coffee on another person's laptop. This could easily have been avoided if the individual who spilled the coffee had been more aware of their surroundings.
