Bodily injury is the infringement of a person´s bodily integrity in the form of an injury or a health impairment. This for example includes:
physical injury resulting from negligence
physical injury resulting from negligence under especially dangerous circumstances
malicious slight injury
malicious grievous injury
malicious injury with severe permanent damages
malicious injury with fatal consequence
malicious grievous injury
Bodily injury which was caused by negligence, without severe culpability of the offender and not persisting longer than 14 days or affecting near relatives of the perpetrator are not liable to prosecution.
On the other hand, those offenders, who for example caused a traffic accident under extremely dangerous circumstances (e.g. under alcohol influence), are punished more severely.
