V09: Pedestrian injured in other and unspecified transport accidents
V09.1: Pedestrian injured in unspecified nontraffic accident
The term "Pedestrian injured in unspecified nontraffic accident" refers to an individual who has been physically harmed as a pedestrian in an accident that did not occur in traffic. This means the event happened outside of areas traditionally associated with automobile use like roads or highways. Instead, these injuries can occur in places like parking lots, driveways, or recreational areas. The injury may result from a wide variety of scenarios, such as being hit by a moving vehicle in a nontraffic setting, falling, or coming into contact with a stationary object. The injuries seen in these cases can range from superficial wounds to fractures or even life-threatening internal injuries depending on the nature and force of impact involved in the accident. There is variability in the symptoms presented due to the wide-ranging severity and type of injuries that can occur in these situations.
