Accidental injuries may be considered abuse if they are frequent, if the explanations don’t match the injuries, if they are unexplained, or if they are the result of negligence. However, typically, the most significant indicators are that they are frequent and if the explanations don’t match.

In summary, any combination of the following can suggest abuse:
