V48.7: Car occupant injured in noncollision transport accident : person on outside of vehicle injured in traffic accident
The diagnostic condition referred to as a car occupant injured in noncollision transport accident: person on the outside of vehicle injured in traffic accident, refers to a physical injury one sustains when involved in a traffic accident but not as a result of direct collision with another vehicle. This specific scenario happens when a person inside a vehicle gets hurt due to impact without the vehicle colliding with another. This can occur due to sudden braking, sharp turns, vehicle rollover or even during accidents where the vehicle may hit stationary objects or pedestrians. Symptoms can vary widely depending on the severity of the accident, ranging from minor bruises and scrapes to more serious conditions like fractures, head injuries, or internal bleeding. This type of injury can affect many systems in the body, including the musculoskeletal, neurological, and circulatory systems.
