V38: Occupant of three-wheeled motor vehicle injured in noncollision transport accident

V38.2: Occupant of three-wheeled motor vehicle injured in noncollision transport accident : person on outside of vehicle injured in nontraffic accident

The detailed description for the condition defined under ICD-10 V38.2 identifies a situation where a person is injured in a non-collision transport accident while either occupying or being on the outside of a three-wheeled motor vehicle during a non-traffic situation. A non-collision transport accident refers to an incident where a vehicle is involved but the injury is not due to a collision with another vehicle, pedestrian or any stationary object. Instead, the injury could occur due to losing control of the vehicle, rolling over, or running off the road. The accidents could result in a variety of injuries, ranging from minor ones like bruises or scrapes, to major ones like fractures, internal organ damage, or even traumatic brain injuries. Even though this condition is not classified as a disease, the outcome can directly impact the victim's health and wellbeing.
