V34.7: Occupant of three-wheeled motor vehicle injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus : person on outside of vehicle injured in traffic accident
The ICD-10 code V34.7 addresses a specific scenario within road traffic accidents, where an individual is an occupant of a three-wheeled motor vehicle and is injured in a collision with a heavy transport vehicle or a bus. This code applies when the injured person is on the outside of the vehicle during the occurrence of a traffic accident. Considering the size and weight difference between the vehicles involved, the injury potential for the three-wheeler occupant can be substantial. It's important to note that the severity and type of injury can widely vary, depending on numerous factors such as speed, the angle of collision, protective gear worn, and many others. These injuries can range from minor soft tissue injuries, dislocations, fractures to severe life-threatening conditions including head and spinal cord injuries, internal organ damage, or traumatic amputations.
