physical harm
Hurt to body
Physical harm is injury or damage to the body.
The phrase appears frequently in legal and institutional contexts—assault statutes, workplace safety policies, warning labels—where precision matters: The defendant caused physical harm to the victim.
It distinguishes bodily injury from psychological, emotional, or financial harm.
