V48.3: Car occupant injured in noncollision transport accident : unspecified car occupant injured in nontraffic accident
The medical condition indicated by ICD-10 code V48.3 is related to injuries obtained by a car occupant in a noncollision transport accident, specifically in a nontraffic incident. This refers to any physical harm sustained by individuals inside a vehicle outside of the context of road traffic. These injuries can occur during various incidents, such as when a car accidentally rolls over while stationary or when an occupant gets injured due to sudden braking or aggressive maneuvers. It's important to note that these accidents involve the car, but they do not involve any collision with another vehicle or object. Injuries can range from minor, such as bruises and sprains, to more serious complications like fractures, internal injuries, or head traumas. The severity and nature of symptoms depend upon the individual accident and the force involved.
