V47.4: Car occupant injured in collision with fixed or stationary object : person injured while boarding or alighting

The condition defined within ICD-10 code V47.4 refers to injuries sustained by a car occupant during a collision with a fixed or stationary object, specifically while the individual is in the process of boarding or alighting the vehicle. This type of injury usually happens due to accidents, where the vehicle unexpectedly hits an object like a pole, wall, or even a tree. The nature of these injuries vary significantly and are predominantly influenced by factors such as the speed of the car, the location of impact, the type of stationary object, and whether the individual was in the process of getting into or out of the car. Symptoms can include, but are not limited to, bruises, fractures, head injuries, or abdominal trauma. The progress of the injury will depend on its severity and its impact on different bodily systems. Immediate attention and medical evaluation following such injuries is vital to rule out any internal damages.
