V78: Bus occupant injured in noncollision transport accident

Bus occupant injured in noncollision transport accident refers to a group of injuries sustained by passengers travelling in a bus, without the bus being involved in a direct collision. These incidents can occur due to sudden braking, abrupt turns, or the bus encountering rough terrains, causing passengers to lose their balance or be thrown against the bus' interior fixtures, even when seatbelts are used. The injuries can range from minor bruises, sprains, and fractures, to serious head, spine, or internal injuries. Symptoms widely vary, depending on the nature and severity of the injury, but often include pain, swelling or deformity of an affected body part, or loss of function in severe cases. The progress of the conditions also varies, however, many injuries may heal over time with appropriate medical intervention, while others may lead to long-term or permanent disability.
