Product names which are derived after an inventor's name will often remain capitalized, though not always (e.g. the petroleum distillate used to power trucks and locomotives is called "diesel" rather than "Diesel" even though it's named after the inventor of the four-stroke compression-ignition engine for which that fuel was formulated).

In many dictionaries there doesn't seem to be a difference between those two words (if they express that something unexpected happens), but my English teacher told me that coincidence is rather used than accident.
