V80.8: Rider or occupant injured in collision with fixed or stationary object

ICD-10 code V80.8 corresponds to a non-fatal injury sustained by a rider or occupant involved in a collision with a fixed or stationary object. This condition represents physical trauma as a result of a high-impact event, often associated with vehicle or sports accidents. It generally presents as varying degrees of blunt force injuries, including fractures, dislocations, abrasions, contusions or internal injuries. The severity depends greatly on the speed of the collision and the type of object involved. Affected areas might include limbs, the torso and the head which may lead to joint, skeletal, muscular or organ damage. As a result, symptoms can vary considerably, from pain and limited mobility, to more serious complications, like unconsciousness or organ failure. It's important to note that each injury requires a unique plan of care, according to its severity and the specific body structures involved.
