V44: Car occupant injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus
V44.2: Car occupant injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus : person on outside of vehicle injured in nontraffic accident
Car occupant injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus: person on outside of vehicle injured in nontraffic accident is a specifically defined event in the ICD-10 classification. This scenario encompasses injuries that occur when a person standing outside a car gets injured in a non-traffic related accident, involving a collision with a heavy transport vehicle or bus. It's important to note that the injured individual is not just a passenger or driver inside the car, but someone located on the exterior. Non-traffic accidents refer to incidents that occur anywhere other than on a public highway. Injuries can range from mild to severe, depending on the force of the collision, and might affect different parts of the body with a potential for multiple injuries. Recovery time and prognosis are determined by the specifics of the injury and immediate medical response.
