V37.5: Occupant of three-wheeled motor vehicle injured in collision with fixed or stationary object : driver injured in traffic accident
"Occupant of three-wheeled motor vehicle injured in collision with fixed or stationary object: driver injured in traffic accident" describes a specific situation where a driver of a three-wheeled motor vehicle, like a trike or a tricycle, has sustained injuries as a result of a traffic collision with a fixed or non-moving object. This object could include, among other things, a tree, streetlight, barrier, building or parked car. The physical trauma from such accidents can range from minor to severe, and might result in a number of potential injuries that affect various body systems. These might involve soft tissue injuries such as bruises, sprains, or cuts; fractures, or broken bones; or more critical injuries such as traumatic brain injuries, or spinal cord damage. Symptoms and disease progression are highly dependent on the intensity of the collision and the resultant injury.
