What does Bodily Injury mean in American Law?

The definition of Bodily Injury in the law of the United States, as defined by the lexicographer Arthur Leff in his legal dictionary is:

Any physical injury to the body of a person, primarily from external cause. The term is seemingly less inclusive than personal injury in that the latter is more frequently used also to cover mere injuries to dignity (e.g., unconsented but physically harmless touching) and mental or emotional injuries. The linguistic distinction is not sharp, however, and nothing legally important ought to turn merely on the choice of one locution over the other. See also grievous bodily injury.
