V42.6: Car occupant injured in collision with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle : passenger injured in traffic accident
Car occupant injured in collision with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle refers to any injury sustained by a passenger within a car as a result of a traffic accident involving a collision with a motor vehicle that has either two or three wheels, such as a motorcycle or tricycle. The severity and nature of the injury can vary widely depending on factors such as the force of the impact, the angle of collision, and the safety features in place. Common injuries range from minor cuts, bruises, and sprains, to more severe injuries like broken bones, head injuries, internal organ damage, and spinal cord injuries. Associated symptoms vary too but might include pain, swelling, dizziness, and loss of consciousness. The condition does not progress in the same sense as a disease would but the recovery period and possible complications are dependent on the specifics of the injury.
