V37.2: Occupant of three-wheeled motor vehicle injured in collision with fixed or stationary object : person on outside of vehicle injured in nontraffic accident
This medical condition involves a person on the outside of a three-wheeled motor vehicle who is injured in a non-traffic accident due to a collision with a fixed or stationary object. It can occur in various settings, including off-road environments, driveways, parking lots, and other non-public road locations. The exact type and severity of injuries associated with this condition can greatly vary and are largely dependent on the specific circumstances of the accident. These injuries can range from minor abrasions or fractures to more severe trauma, such as head or spinal injuries. Furthermore, whilst the condition is described with the focus on the person on the outside of the vehicle, there might be implications connected to the driver or passengers of the three-wheeled vehicle. Lastly, it's important to note that the nature of the fixed or stationary object involved in the collision may also influence the outcome and severity of the injuries.
