V83.2: Person on outside of special industrial vehicle injured in traffic accident

The condition specified by ICD-10 V83.2 refers to an injury sustained by a person on the outside of a special industrial vehicle, such as a digger, crane or fork-lift, during a traffic accident. The nature of such an injury can vary significantly, depending on factors like the speed of the incident, size of the vehicle, and the victim's position at the point of contact. It could range from mild injuries like sprains, contusions and lacerations, to more severe injuries like fractures, dislocations and possible internal damage. Symptoms could therefore include pain, bruising, swelling, open wounds or difficulty moving a body part. It may be associated with traumatic shock depending on the severity of the injury. This condition can be a result of various circumstances like vehicle malfunction, inadequate safety practices or traffic violations.
