A person with a bladder injury has damage to the bladder, caused by an injury.

The bladder is well protected by the pelvic bones, but can be injured in the setting of a severe pelvic fracture.

Bladder injuries include contusions, lacerations and ruptures. A bladder rupture is usually the most serious type of bladder injury. Rupture of the bladder can cause urine to leak out into the abdominal cavity.
