V04.9: Pedestrian injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus : unspecified whether traffic or nontraffic accident

The ICD-10 code V04.9 refers to a physical condition resulting from a pedestrian being involved in a collision with a heavy transport vehicle or a bus, without specification as to whether the incident happened in a traffic or nontraffic scenario. This type of injury often involves a broad range of potential physical harm, given the size and weight disparity between a person and the vehicle involved in the accident. The injuries can range from minor, such as bruises and scrapes, to serious conditions such as fractures, internal injuries, or head trauma. Symptoms and severity of the condition can vary widely based on the specifics of the accident. Recovery may require various forms of medical intervention including, but not limited to, emergency care, surgical procedures, physical therapy, and ongoing medical monitoring. Every accident is unique, thus the level of injury and the subsequent required medical care can differ significantly from case to case.
