If you saw a bump on the wall earlier, you wouldn't have to injure yourself.

「私がもっと早く壁のでっぱりに気づいていれば、君は怪我をしなくて済んだのに。」
です。
and, as I mentioned in the 備考欄、I was looking for a way to translate without using the
word "earlier". It doesn't sound right.

Ok, then how about "I wish I saw a bump sooner so you would't have to injure yourself."

I guess you missed the comment I just posted. thank you for posting a new translation. Personally, I think It would sound better if it went "I wish I noticed the bump sooner. That way you wouldn't have injured yourself"

You could have avoided the injury if you realised the dint on the wall quicker.

I'd tremendously appreciate it if someone native would translate this sentence for me. I did all kinds of google searching but I wasn't able to find the right phrase. PLEASE USE PHRASES OTHER THAN: "If only I had noticed/realized earlier" Thank you in advance.
