V29.5: Passenger injured in collision with other and unspecified motor vehicles in traffic accident

The condition represented by ICD-10 code V29.5 refers to an injury sustained by a passenger involved in a traffic collision with other or unspecified motor vehicles. In this circumstance, the passenger does not necessarily have to be in a car, they could be in any kind of motor vehicle. The injuries from such an incident can range from minor, such as bruises and sprains, to severe, such as fractures, internal injuries, and potentially life-threatening conditions that involve vital organs. The symptoms depend on the type and severity of the injury and may include pain, swelling, redness, and impaired function of the body part involved. A diagnosis is typically made through a combination of physical examination and imaging studies depending on the nature of the injury. This code is used in cases where the passenger is injured in a traffic accident as compared to non-traffic accidents or if the means of injury is unspecified.
