V80.1: Rider or occupant injured in collision with pedestrian or animal

The ICD-10 code V80.1 refers to a condition where a rider or occupant is injured due to a collision with a pedestrian or animal. This typically implies an incident involving some form of transportation, such as a car or bicycle, coming into contact with a person or animal, causing the rider or passenger of the vehicle to be hurt. The kind of injury sustained can vary greatly, depending on factors such as the speed of the collision, the type of vehicle, and the safety measures in place. For instance, traumas may range from minor abrasions and bruising to more severe injuries like fractures, head trauma, or internal damage. Symptoms are wholly dependent on the type and severity of injury obtained, but commonly include pain, swelling, reduced function or motion, or visible signs of injury such as wounds or deformities.
