Need to know which of these sentences is correct.

i met with an accident or i had an accident.

Both are okay. I personally like the second or latter sentence better. But that is merely personal preference.

If you say "I met with an accident" you're trying to put a humourous spin on things. "I had an accident" is very factual in most cases.
