What is a person with two or more serious traumatic injuries in different body regions, at least one life-threatening, called?

Correct answer

A polytrauma casualty.

A polytrauma casualty. The concept refers to serious injuries in different regions, which may include fractures and organ damage; it is not simply a count of broken bones. Nor can one claim that most casualties in every road crash have polytrauma. Urgent medical attention is required.
