Dystychiphobia is a fear of accidents and is most often caused by a traumatic event in the past experienced by a person involving an accident, be it minor or something major, that has made him highly frightened. As in other fears or phobias, past traumatic experience can create a protective mechanism in your subconscious mind as a form of defense in related anxiety situations.
The trigger for dystychiphobia could have been a car accident, accidentally falling down the stairs or tripping while walking, or any other accident.
