V56.2: Occupant of pick-up truck or van injured in collision with other nonmotor vehicle : person on outside of vehicle injured in nontraffic accident

The ICD-10 V56.2 code pertains to injuries sustained by an individual, referred as an occupant, of a pickup truck or a van involved in a collision with a non-motorized vehicle. This specifically applies when the person injured is on the outside of the vehicle during a non-traffic accident. The damage inflicted can range from minimal to severe, depending on factors such as the nature of the impact, the speed at which the vehicles were moving, the physical position of the individual during the accident, and use of safety equipment. Injuries can include, but are not limited to, fractures, concussions, and skin abrasions. Understanding the extent of injury may require a variety of diagnostic tests like X-rays, CT scans, or MRI, among others. Post-trauma symptoms may vary widely and can emerge immediately after the accident or may develop over time.
