V81.2: Occupant of railway train or railway vehicle injured in collision with or hit by rolling stock

The medical condition referred to by ICD-10 code V81.2 is characterized by physical injuries or trauma sustained by an occupant of a railway train or railway vehicle as a result of a collision with or impact from rolling stock. Rolling stock represents any vehicles that move on a railway. In this situation, injuries are typically the outcome of direct impact, sudden braking or acceleration, or displacement of the occupant within or ejection from the vehicle due to the collision. The injuries can range from minor bruises and abrasions to severe, life-threatening conditions, like fractures, internal organ damage, or traumatic brain injuries. The type, location, and severity of injuries largely depend on the specifics of the collision, such as the speed and angles of impact, the occupant's position at the time of collision, and the safety measures used. This situation does not imply any infectious disease or condition that is transmitted from person to person; rather, it is an accident-related trauma condition.
