V77.1: Bus occupant injured in collision with fixed or stationary object : passenger injured in nontraffic accident

Bus occupant injured in collision with a fixed or stationary object refers to an injury sustained by a passenger in a non-traffic bus accident. The accident occurs when the bus collides with an object that is not moving, like a parked vehicle, a wall, or a pole. Such incidents can result in a range of injuries to the passenger. These could be minor like bruises, cuts, and sprains, or more serious like fractures, concussions, or injuries to the spine, head or internal organs. Severity of the injury depends on the force and angle of impact, and whether the passenger was using safety equipment like seat belts. Symptoms can vary widely, from visible injuries and pain, to dizziness, nausea, and confusion in case of head injuries. While minor injuries may heal with rest and basic first aid, severe injuries can be life-altering and require immediate medical attention.
