V46.4: Car occupant injured in collision with other nonmotor vehicle : person injured while boarding or alighting
The term "Car occupant injured in collision with other nonmotor vehicle: person injured while boarding or alighting" refers to an injury sustained by a person travelling in a car who encounters a collision with a stationary or moving nonmotor vehicle. This injury most often occurs while the individual is in the process of getting in or out of the car (boarding or alighting). The severity and type of injury can greatly vary based on a multitude of factors, including the speed of the collision, location of impact, and whether safety devices such as seat belts were in use. Common injuries may range from minor cuts and scrapes to more severe injuries like fractures, spinal injuries, or traumatic brain injuries. After such an accident, symptoms such as pain, swelling, difficulty in moving, or loss of consciousness can indicate a more serious injury.
