V48.2: Car occupant injured in noncollision transport accident : person on outside of vehicle injured in nontraffic accident
The condition characterized by the ICD-10 code V48.2 pertains to car occupants who sustain injuries in a noncollision transport accident, specifically those who are on the outside of the vehicle during a nontraffic accident. Noncollision transport accidents can refer to cases where the vehicle overturns or rolls without making contact with another object, or due to sudden changes in motion. Occupants outside of the vehicle may either be partially external or completely outside at the time of the incident. Accidental injuries can range from minor bruises and fractures to major internal complications depending on the extent of the trauma involved during the accident. Injury types and severity can vary widely and can affect any part of the body including the skeletal system, muscular system, and important organs.
