V85: Occupant of special construction vehicle injured in transport accident
V85.2: Person on outside of special construction vehicle injured in traffic accident
"The ICD-10 code V85.2 pertains to an injury acquired by an individual on the outside of a special construction vehicle during a traffic accident. In this type of accident, the person is not inside the vehicle but rather positioned externally, perhaps on a platform or ledge specifically designed for the vehicle's particular task. The injuries in such scenarios can vary greatly based on numerous factors such as the speed of the accident, the nature of the impact, the victim's position at the time of the accident, and the protective measures or safety gear in use. Injuries may range from minor cuts and bruises to severe trauma, like fractures and internal injuries. After an accident of this sort, it is essential that a detailed medical examination is conducted to assess the extent of injuries and devise an appropriate treatment plan."
