V42.1: Car occupant injured in collision with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle : passenger injured in nontraffic accident
The patient has sustained injuries as a passenger in a car that collided with a two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle during a nontraffic accident. Nontraffic accidents refer to those that occur off public roads, often in parking lots, driveways, or private properties. The nature and severity of the injuries can vary widely, depending on the specifics of the accident. Commonly affected body systems might include the musculoskeletal, integumentary (skin), and nervous systems, but any part of the body could potentially be injured. Symptoms typically depend on the injury severity and location but may include pain, bruising, swelling, visible wounds, lacerations or abrasions, and neurological symptoms in case of head or spinal injuries. The progression of the condition post-accident largely depends on the initial trauma response, immediate and ongoing medical care, and the individual’s overall health status.
