V43: Car occupant injured in collision with car, pick-up truck or van
V43.1: Car occupant injured in collision with car, pick-up truck or van : passenger injured in nontraffic accident
The condition described by the ICD-10 code V43.1 refers to the injuries sustained by a car occupant, specifically the passenger, resulting from a collision with another car, pick-up truck, or van in a nontraffic accident situation. These nontraffic accidents typically occur in parking lots, driveways, or other private properties, excluding public highways or streets. Depending on variables such as speed of collision and the use of safety measures, the injuries can range from minor to severe. Typically, these injuries may involve trauma to multiple body regions, including head, neck, spinal cord, and other internal organs, or may manifest in the form of fractures, dislocations, or superficial injuries like lacerations and contusions. Chronic pain, mobility issues, and psychological impacts like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) might also develop following such accidents.
