injurer
One who wounds
One who injures—causes harm, damage, or hurt to another.
The word is straightforward but infrequent, since English usually opts for other constructions: the person who injured him rather than his injurer.
It appears most often in legal or insurance contexts where a term for the responsible party is needed.
