I injured my leg/I bruised my leg

Dear all,

Please tell me whether the following sentences are correct. Here in the second sentence, I would like whether "bruised" is used as an "adjective" or the sentence is in the passive form.

1) I injured my leg in a scooter accident.

2) My leg was bruised in a scooter accident.

3) I bruised my leg in a scooter accident.


Thank you.

My leg was bruised in a scooter accident. This denotes an event, not a state, so "bruised" is a verb in a passive construction.
