Skader

Skader is a Danish and Norwegian noun meaning injuries or damages. The form skader is the plural; skade is the singular in both languages. In everyday usage, skader can refer to bodily injuries as well as damage to objects or property.

In medical and sports contexts, skader describes injuries ranging from minor sprains and cuts to more serious conditions such as fractures or concussions. First aid emphasizes preventing further harm and obtaining medical assessment for significant or persistent symptoms. Basic management may include rest, cold application, compression, and elevation where appropriate.

In legal and insurance contexts, skader denotes losses arising from incidents. Liability may require compensation to the injured party, while insurance policies may cover medical costs, rehabilitation, and property repairs, subject to policy terms and limits.

Prevention focuses on risk assessment and safety measures, including protective equipment, training, hazard reduction, and proper maintenance, to reduce the incidence and severity of skader in workplaces, sports, and daily life.
