V87.3: Person injured in collision between car and bus (traffic)

The medical condition classified under the ICD-10 code V87.3 refers to a person who has been injured in a collision between a car and a bus during traffic. This event signifies an accident that led to varying degrees of bodily harm, ranging from minor scrapes and lacerations to potentially serious injuries involving head trauma, fractures, internal organ damage, and spinal injuries. It's important to understand that the physical harm can be diverse, depending on the severity of the crash, use of safety protocols like seat belts, and the speed at which the vehicles were moving at the time of the accident. Psychological repercussions are also possible, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, or depression, especially if the individual remembers vividly the traumatizing event. This ICD-10 reference is for diagnostic coding and insurance purposes and clarifies the source of the injury.
