''Serious bodily injury'' is something more serious than mere physical injury. Serious bodily injury refers to bodily injury which involves substantial risk of death, protracted and obvious disfigurement, or protracted loss or impairment of the function of a bodily member or organ or mental faculty. Serious bodily injury is more than a minor or superficial injury. (USLegal)
