This condition denotes injuries sustained by an individual who was on or in a specially designed construction vehicle, such as a bulldozer, crane, or forklift, during a nontraffic accident. The accident could have occurred in numerous environments such as a construction site, private land, or any other area not involving public roads or transit. Injuries can be diverse depending on the circumstances of the accident, and can affect various systems of the body, including but not limited to limb fractures, head trauma, or even internal injuries. The progression of this condition greatly depends on the severity and area of injury. It is generally a result of occupational hazards, mechanical failures, or operational mistakes.
