V46: Car occupant injured in collision with other nonmotor vehicle
The “Car occupant injured in collision with other nonmotor vehicle” refers to a range of injuries that can occur to an individual who is inside a car when it collides with a nonmotor vehicle, such as a bicycle or horse-drawn carriage. These injuries can vary significantly in their type and severity, depending on factors such as the speed at which the collision occurs and the safety measures in place in the car. Injuries may include damage to the skin, muscles, bones, or internal organs. After the collision, individuals may experience symptoms such as pain, bruising, bleeding, fractures, or even unconsciousness in severe cases. The injuries may progress and become more severe over time, especially if not quickly and appropriately treated. These collision-related injuries affect various body systems, including the musculoskeletal, integumentary (skin), and internal organ systems. All injuries sustained from such a collision should be addressed by a healthcare professional for appropriate diagnosis and management.
