What Does “Serious Bodily Injury” Mean When Charged With Battery Causing Serious Bodily Injury (243(d)) In Riverside County or Orange County?

Posted in Assault FAQ'S on March 10, 2015

A “serious bodily injury” under PC 243(d) means a serious impairment of physical condition.

Such an injury may include, but is not limited to, loss of consciousness, a concussion, bone fracture, protracted loss or impairment of function of any bodily member or organ, a wound requiring extensive suturing or any serious disfigurement.

Serious bodily injury is different, although very similar to “Great Bodily Injury.”
