multiple-injury accident
Explanation:
Zespół can mean many things here. It can refer to:

1) several workers: multiple-casualty accident,
2) type of accident: multiple-cause accident,
3) number of injuries suffered/organs affected (hand, leg, ..: multiple-injury accident

However, in juxtaposition with serious (ciężki) and fatal (śmiertelny), this most likely refers to injuries suffered by one worker - multiple-injury accident.

agree  Robert Michalski: Tutaj zespołowy możne znaczyć z udziałem kilku osób, ale Twoja odpowiedź obejmuje i wiele osób i wiele urazów u jednej. Szerszy termin, mniejsze ryzyko pomyłki tłumacza:)
