V02.0: Pedestrian injured in collision with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle : nontraffic accident

A pedestrian injured in a collision with a two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle in a nontraffic accident often sustains significant physical injuries. Although every accident is different, common injuries may involve broken bones, internal injuries, head trauma, and minor to severe scrapes or bruises. The impact of the collision and the pedestrian’s physical interactions with both the vehicle and the ground dictate the type and severity of injuries. One unique aspect of such nontraffic accidents is that they generally occur in spaces like parking lots, sidewalks, or residential areas rather than public streets or highways. Thus, speed generally is lower in these incidents compared to standard road traffic accidents which can potentially contribute to a spectrum of injuries from mild to severe. Though survival and recovery prospects vary, timely medical intervention can significantly help manage injuries and optimize recovery.
