Physical damage refers to harm or injury that affects the structure or function of an object or living organism. This type of damage can occur due to various factors, including accidents, natural disasters, or wear and tear over time. For example, a car may sustain physical damage in a collision, resulting in dents, scratches, or broken parts.
In living organisms, physical damage can manifest as cuts, bruises, or fractures. Such injuries can impact mobility and overall health. Proper assessment and treatment are essential to address physical damage, whether it involves repairing an object or providing medical care to an injured person.
