How it's used
Focuses specifically on the medical assessment of injuries for legal or insurance documentation. It implies a formal process where a doctor provides a report, rather than just checking a minor scrape at home. Often used in contexts involving police reports or insurance claims after accidents or assaults.
Examples
He went to the hospital to get his injuries examined right after the fight.
Do you need to go get your injuries checked first? It looks quite serious.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with simply looking at a wound, which would be 睇傷口. 驗傷 carries a formal, procedural weight that implies an official record is being created.
