V28.1: Motorcycle rider injured in noncollision transport accident : passenger injured in nontraffic accident

The V28.1 ICD-10 code refers to the condition in which a passenger on a motorcycle is injured in a non-collision transport accident. These incidents specifically occur during non-traffic accidents, meaning the injury does not involve a collision with another vehicle and typically occurs outside of public roads. This type of accident could involve various scenarios, such as a motorcycle slipping, tipping over, or crashing into stationary objects. The injuries suffered by the motorcycle passengers can range from minor cuts or bruises to more severe issues such as fractures, head injuries or potentially life-threatening trauma, depending on the circumstances of the accident. The parts of the body affected and the severity of the injury greatly depend on how the accident occurred and whether protective equipment was worn or not. It is important to note that although this code doesn't specify the exact nature of the injury, it helps in indicating the context in which the injury occurred.
