V43.3: Car occupant injured in collision with car, pick-up truck or van : unspecified car occupant injured in nontraffic accident

Car occupant injured in collision with car, pick-up truck or van is a medical condition that documents the injury sustained by an individual who was inside a car when it collided with another car, pick-up truck, or van in a nontraffic accident. The term "nontraffic accident" implies that the mishap didn’t occur on a public highway, but rather in a parking lot, private property, or any other location that is not considered public road. The injury could take various forms including – but not limited to – bruises, lacerations, fractures, whiplash, and internal injuries. It is unspecified who the person in the car is, so it could be the driver or a passenger. The symptoms and severity of this condition vary greatly based on the nature and impact of the collision, ranging from mild discomfort to serious trauma. This condition often requires immediate medical attention for diagnosis and management.
