Or should i say " a seriously-wounded girl" ?

it should be seriously wounded...no hypen between the words...
the hypen will only apply if there's a noun following the word... like "seriously-wounded girl"

The dash does not belong there. It is: seriously wounded.

The above answers are correct. There should not be a hyphen.

"Fred was seriously wounded."
"The seriously-wounded man was named Fred."
