V10.2: Pedal cyclist injured in collision with pedestrian or animal : unspecified pedal cyclist injured in nontraffic accident

The condition represented by ICD-10 code V10.2 is an injury incurred by an unspecified pedal cyclist involved in a non-traffic accident where a collision with a pedestrian or animal happened. The incident suggests cycling in an environment where pedestrians or animals are present but away from regular vehicle traffic, possibly in parks, on walking paths, or rural areas. An individual experiencing this condition may have incurred a range of injuries, from minor to severe, depending on factors such as the speed at which the collision occurred, protective gear worn, and the nature of the impact. Common symptoms following such an incident may include abrasions, lacerations, fractures, or even traumatic injuries. The effect of the condition might not be limited to physical trauma, it could include psychological effects, such as fear or anxiety, especially in relation to future cycling activities. Immediate medical evaluation is implied, and the appropriate care depends upon the specific injuries sustained.
