What is Serious Bodily Injury
According to the Florida Statute 316.027, the legal meaning of serious bodily injury is an injury to a person which “consists of a physical condition that creates a substantial risk of death, serious personal disfigurement, or protracted loss or impairment of the function of a bodily member or organ.” In other words, a serious bodily injury is more severe than a trivial or minor injury.

Serious Bodily Injury Potential Compensation
Unlike a like a minor cut, bruise or scrape, serious bodily injuries often require numerous medical visits and attention. These types of injuries also usually require longer and more extensive treatment, incurring expensive medical bills. Likewise, under the serious bodily injury definition, this type of injury might not ever fully heal. As a result, the medical bills that began to come in after the accident may become recurring for the rest of a victim’s life.
