V56: Occupant of pick-up truck or van injured in collision with other nonmotor vehicle
V56.3: Occupant of pick-up truck or van injured in collision with other nonmotor vehicle : unspecified occupant of pick-up truck or van injured in nontraffic accident
The diagnosis designated by the ICD-10 code V56.3 refers to injuries sustained by an unspecified occupant of a pick-up truck or van involved in a nontraffic collision with another nonmotor vehicle. These are accidents that do not necessarily occur on public roadways, but rather in private properties or nonroad situations like in parking lots or driveways. The unspecified occupant could be the driver or any passenger in the pick-up truck or van at the time of the accident. Injuries can vary widely, from minor bruises and sprains to more severe traumas like fractures, head injuries, or internal damage. These injuries would primarily be associated with the sudden uncontrolled movements, high speeds, or forceful impacts characteristic of vehicular accidents. The severity and nature of the injury often depend on the circumstances of the collision, including speed, the use of seat belts, and the point of impact.
