V47.7: Car occupant injured in collision with fixed or stationary object : person on outside of vehicle injured in traffic accident

The condition referred to by the ICD-10 code V47.7 is the injury of a car occupant due to a collision with a fixed or stationary object, where the injured individual is located outside of the vehicle during the traffic accident. In simpler terms, it would be described as a person getting hurt in a traffic incident where they are outside a vehicle that collides with something that doesn't move, like a lamp post or wall. Injuries can vary widely, from minor cuts and bruises to more severe injuries such as fractures, internal injuries, or head traumas. The presentation of the condition can depend largely on the speed and force of the collision, the point of impact, and whether the individual was protected by any safety equipment at the time of the incident.
