V47.6: Car occupant injured in collision with fixed or stationary object : passenger injured in traffic accident

The condition titled "Car occupant injured in collision with fixed or stationary object: passenger injured in traffic accident" refers to physical harm or injury experienced by a passenger in a motor vehicle accident, where the vehicle collided with a non-moving or stationary object. The magnitude and type of injury can vary widely, ranging from minimal skin abrasions or contusions to severe, life-threatening damage involving vital organs, depending on the impact force, safety measures used, and the specific circumstances of the accident. Physical manifestations could be immediate, like visible bleeding, pain, fractures or may evolve over time such as internal hemorrhage or delayed soft tissue injuries. Likewise, the injury could be localized to a certain body part or could involve multiple body systems as in polytrauma. The psychological impact of the accident should also be considered.
