V60-V69: Occupant of heavy transport vehicle injured in transport accident
V60: Occupant of heavy transport vehicle injured in collision with pedestrian or animal
The group of conditions under the title "Occupant of heavy transport vehicle injured in collision with pedestrian or animal" pertains to various types of bodily harm or injuries sustained by an individual present inside a heavy transport vehicle during an accident involving a pedestrian or an animal. Casualties can range from minor bruises to severe damage to vital organs, depending on the severity of the collision. The extent of injury is ascertained by the area of the body that was most exposed or vulnerable during the accident. The accident could be a result of various factors including poor visibility, bad weather, inattention, or recklessness, among others. The conditions in this group are not transmitted from person to person, rather they occur instantaneously from a traumatic event. They can lead to a number of symptoms, like pain, swelling, loss of function, and in severe cases, life-threatening complications. The progression and prognosis of conditions in this group are highly variable, often depending on the immediate and continued medical care received after the incident.
