V01-V09: Pedestrian injured in transport accident

Pedestrian injuries in transport accidents refer to a grouping of injuries specifically sustained by pedestrians due to collisions or accidents involving various kinds of transport. These can include, but are not limited to, automobiles, bicycles, motorcycles, and public transportation, such as buses and trams. The severity and type of injuries can differ widely and depend on factors such as the speed of the vehicle, the pedestrian’s position at the time of the accident, and the response of the pedestrian and driver. Common injuries range from minor abrasions and fractures to more severe outcomes like traumatic brain injury or even fatality. Symptoms can vary based on the specific injury, but often include pain, swelling, bruising, and impaired function in the affected area. The pathophysiology of each injury is unique, while the progression depends on the severity of the trauma and appropriate intervention.
