V78.1: Bus occupant injured in noncollision transport accident : passenger injured in nontraffic accident
The condition defined by ICD-10 code V78.1 refers to the injuries sustained by a passenger in a bus during a noncollision transport accident in a nontraffic situation. This type of accident might occur while the bus is stationary; for example, the passenger could fall while boarding or alighting from the bus or get injured due to a sudden stop or abrupt movement of the bus. Injuries might vary widely in scope and severity, ranging from minor cuts, bruises, or sprains, to more serious conditions such as fractures, dislocations, concussions, or even internal injuries. Conditions resulting from these injuries can affect numerous bodily systems depending on severity and area of impact, potentially involving the musculoskeletal, neurological, or cardiovascular systems. Their symptoms and progression are directly related to the specific injuries incurred.
