V20: Motorcycle rider injured in collision with pedestrian or animal
V20.1: Motorcycle rider injured in collision with pedestrian or animal : passenger injured in nontraffic accident
The specific condition referred to with ICD-10 code V20.1 describes an instance where a motorcycle passenger has been injured in a non-traffic accident involving a collision with a pedestrian or animal. A non-traffic accident means it occurs somewhere other than a public highway, such as a parking lot, private roads, or off-road. The condition does not specify the type or severity of injury; it could range from minor scrapes or bruises to more serious harm like fractures, head injuries, or internal damage. Factors such as speed of impact, type of collision, and whether safety equipment was in use at the time of the accident will all influence the physical outcomes. Symptoms therefore can vary widely, including pain, swelling, loss of mobility, or even loss of consciousness in severe cases.
