V38: Occupant of three-wheeled motor vehicle injured in noncollision transport accident
V38.1: Occupant of three-wheeled motor vehicle injured in noncollision transport accident : passenger injured in nontraffic accident
The medical condition under the ICD-10 code V38.1 refers to injuries that a passenger might sustain when involved in a noncollision transport accident while riding in a three-wheeled motor vehicle (such as a trike or motorcycle with a sidecar), and it occurs in a nontraffic environment. Basically, it's an accident that happened not due to collision with other vehicles and did not occur on public roads or highways. In such accidents, possible injuries may involve any system of the body and can range from minor to severe trauma, entirely depending on the nature of the accident. Symptoms would be specific to the type and extent of the injury sustained. It's important to note that the degree and nature of injury will determine the progression of the condition following the accident, ensuring that immediate and appropriate medical care is vital.
