What Are Firearm Injuries?

Firearm injuries can occur in various situations, including:

• Accidental discharge during hunting or recreational shooting
• Injuries caused by improper firearm storage or handling
• Incidents during police or military operations

These injuries can range from gunshot wounds and fractures to disfigurement, nerve damage, and permanent disability.

Common Causes of Firearm Injuries

Negligence is often a key factor in firearm-related incidents. Some of the most common causes include:

• Improper Handling – Lack of firearm safety awareness or reckless use.
• Inadequate Training – Insufficient instruction on proper firearm use and precautions.
• Defective or Poorly Maintained Weapons – Faulty mechanisms leading to unintended discharge.
• Negligent Storage or Transportation – Failure to properly secure firearms, resulting in unintended access or mishandling.
