Forensic autopsy of blunt force trauma. Two abraded lacerations on the forehead. Lacerations are a bursting of the skin or other tissues resulting from compression or stretching associated with impact by a blunt object or surface. The appearance of a blunt force injury is determined by several variables, including the impacting weapon or surface, the anatomic site impacted, and individual factors including skin elasticity and coagulability status.
