any injury which:
1) requires hospitalization for more than 48 hours, commencing within 7 days from the date of the injury was received;
2) results in a fracture of any bone (except simple fractures of fingers, toes, or nose);
3) causes severe hemorrhages, never, muscle, or tendon damage;
4) involves any internal organ;
