V47: Car occupant injured in collision with fixed or stationary object
V47.3: Car occupant injured in collision with fixed or stationary object : unspecified car occupant injured in nontraffic accident
The diagnosis under ICD-10 code V47.3 refers to a car occupant who has been injured in a collision with a fixed or stationary object during a non-traffic accident. This encompasses a range of injuries that an individual might sustain if they are inside a car when it hits a non-moving object like a tree, lamp post, or a building. This accident is non-traffic in nature, meaning that it happens off public roads. The severity and type of injury depends on multiple factors — such as speed and impact of the collision, the angle at which the accident occurs, the type of stationary object hit, and whether or not the occupant was wearing a seatbelt. Injuries can vary from minor (bruises, sprains) to severe (head injuries, bone fractures, internal trauma). This condition only denotes the occurrence and nature of the accident, not specifying a particular injury.
