V48.1: Car occupant injured in noncollision transport accident : passenger injured in nontraffic accident
Car occupant injured in noncollision transport accident: passenger injured in nontraffic accident refers to injuries sustained by a passenger in a vehicle during an incident where no collision occurred. In these scenarios, the vehicle is typically still in motion. Accidents of this type might occur due to reasons such as sudden braking, swerving, or accelerating, leading to unanticipated movements within the vehicle. The injuries sustained in such incidents typically depend on the nature of the event and can range from mild bruises or sprains to more severe cases that may involve fractures, dislocations, or even brain injuries. Note that these incidents do not involve an impact with another vehicle, pedestrian, or any other external object and are classified as nontraffic as they do not occur on public highways or streets. The accident can happen in various settings such as parking lots, driveways, or private roads.
