V47.1: Car occupant injured in collision with fixed or stationary object : passenger injured in nontraffic accident
"Car occupant injured in collision with fixed or stationary object: passenger injured in nontraffic accident" refers to a specific set of injuries sustained by a car passenger during a non-traffic incident. Typically, such injuries occur when a vehicle collides with an immobile object, such as a tree or a parked car. Depending on the force of impact, passengers may experience a range of health consequences, from minor cuts and bruises to more serious conditions like bone fractures, internal injuries, head trauma, or spinal cord damage. The severity and type of injury often depend on factors such as the speed of collision, the use of seat belts, the passenger's physical position, and the area of the vehicle impacted. Despite the non-traffic nature of these accidents, they may still lead to significant impairment and require thorough medical attention and follow-up.
