Let's say a person was hit by a truck and ended up in the hospital (but was later discharged in good health).
In this case, would it be more accurate to say that they were unlucky to end up in such a situation, or lucky to have survived/remained unharmed?

It's very simple. He chose to stay and live on this miserable planet instead of moving to the realm of eternal bliss, where there is no pain or suffering. The answer is obvious.
Don't you have any more complex questions?

There is no such thing as luck or bad luck.

I hear the Basilisk.

The questions reflect the audience...

In reality, this subconsciously compares the probabilities of being hit by a truck and surviving the incident. If the former is higher (in your opinion), then you consider yourself lucky, and if the latter, then you don't.

Actually, both. He was unlucky to be hit by a truck, but lucky to survive. An unfortunate event with a fortunate outcome.

How is it possible to get run over by a truck and survive?

Said the Necromancer.

You take what you can and survive.

The person definitely had bad luck, but their good fortune prevailed.

Both statements are equally valid. If you know the statistics, you can compare the probabilities. If the probability of being hit by a truck is less than the probability of a successful recovery in such cases, then he was simply unlucky; if it's higher, then he was lucky. The less likely the event, the more definitive the answer.

Which is more accurate in this case – that he was unlucky to end up in such a situation, or that he was lucky to remain alive/intact?

It depends on the speed and mass of the truck...
