French term or phrase: personnes accidentées

La Direction ainsi que chaque salarié s'engagent à faciliter la réadaptation au travail des personnes accidentées.

No problem in understanding - just interested to see how others would handle the end of the sentence.
I was tempted by "injured" "injured parties" I don't want to say "people affected by or involved in accidents" because that is too general.But I cannot find the "right" phrase

(the) victims of accidents

Explanation:
65,500 ghits, but of course the exact expression required might depend on the sorts of accidents 'contained' in the understanding of the text.

Are we talking "victims" in general, or specific "victims"?
