Russian term or phrase: автотравма (атипичная)
Множественные массивные повреждения на теле потерпевшего с различной локализацией могли быть образованы в результате автотравмы, в том числе и атипичной.

Эт из результатов судмедэкспертизы..

Автотравма - это ведь - Motor-vehicle accident? Или есть более точные термины для такого вида отчетов? И если она атипичная, можно ли написать ее как-нибудь как - unusual MVA? Или atypical нормально звучит?..

Спасибо..

English translation:auto accident trauma
Explanation:
I'm assuming that this is once again from your forensic file. Though Mas63's answer also works, I think that "trauma" is the best word choice, seeing as a medical professional is doing this. It's also very typical, for example, for people to use "trauma" to denote such an injury. For example, they would say "trauma to the head," etc. It's also commonly used by personal injury lawyers. See the google.com search.

Oh, and "atypical," denoting that the trauma isn't that of which you would typically see in a automobile accident, perhaps, since this is a forensic file, it is suggesting homocide by car, or something of the sort.

Or you could use "vehicle." Both work.

By the way, perhaps "vehicle induced trauma" would be better. That is to say that "accident" implies an accident, whereas it may not have been an accident. Depends on the context.

agree  Igor Blinov: I'd avoid using "vehicle induced trauma", because the context says "vehicle accident"

  -> Thanks. I simply suggested this if the context is the investigation into a suspicious death, as some of Twisted's recent posts are from a forensics report. If it is definitely an accident, then yes, accident.
