V78.3: Bus occupant injured in noncollision transport accident : unspecified bus occupant injured in nontraffic accident

Bus occupant injured in noncollision transport accident refers to an injury incurred by an individual while being an occupant in a bus during a noncollision event. Noncollision events refer to potential accidents where a bus could overturn, slide, skid, or hit stationary objects. This might happen during normal traffic conditions where no other vehicle is directly involved, hence defined as a nontraffic accident. The nature and extent of injuries can vary ranging from minor bruises to severe bodily harm, primarily depending upon the force and type of accident. Among the affected areas could be the head, limbs, chest, or spine. The injuries could present immediate visible symptoms like bleeding, swelling, or unconsciousness, or subtler ones like internal bleeding or concussion, identified through medical investigations. The injury may warrant immediate medical attention depending on the severity and the area affected.
