Tress of the Emerald Sea by Brandon Sanderson and There are no accidents by Jessie Singer.
Really enjoying the Singer book so far. It talks about accidental deaths and injuries such as automobile crashes and workplace injuries but also large scale accidents like oil spills.
It's really one that makes you rethink how we treat accidents and how we often assign blame for them to individuals vs dangerous conditions/systems but especially the influence of powerful people to shield themselves from blame for accidents
