V80.4: Rider or occupant injured in collision with car, pick-up truck, van, heavy transport vehicle or bus

The condition referred to by the ICD-10 code V80.4 is an injury incurred by a rider or occupant during a collision with a car, pick-up truck, van, heavy transport vehicle or bus. This encompasses a wide range of potential injuries, from minor ones like cuts and bruises to serious ones like fractures, internal injuries, or traumatic brain injuries. The severity of the injuries largely depends on the circumstances of the collision, such as the speed and size of the vehicles involved, the safety equipment used (like seat belts or helmets), and the area of the body that took the direct impact. Common symptoms may include pain, swelling or deformity at the injury site, loss of consciousness, confusion, difficulty breathing, and bleeding. The progression of the injury strongly depends on the injury's nature and the individual's overall health status.
