V40-V49: Car occupant injured in transport accident

V48: Car occupant injured in noncollision transport accident

The group range V48 refers to injuries that a car occupant might sustain in a noncollision transport accident. These types of injuries occur when a vehicle is involved in an incident, but not in a direct collision with another vehicle. Such circumstances might include if a car suddenly stops, swerves, or is affected by environmental conditions, such as slippery roads, resulting in injury to those inside the car. Common injuries might include whiplash, concussions, or broken bones, depending on the intensity of the event. Symptoms largely depend on the specific injury but may encompass pain, dizziness, confusion, or limited mobility. The progression of these conditions depends on the severity of the injury, its quick identification, and subsequent management. Both nervous and musculoskeletal systems are often impacted in these incidents.
