V87.9: Person injured in other specified (collision)(noncollision) transport accidents involving nonmotor vehicle (traffic)

The ICD-10 code V87.9 describes a scenario in which a person has been injured in a specified transport accident that does not involve motor vehicles and occurs in traffic. Such accidents may result from the collision of non-motor vehicles, like bicycles, horse-drawn carriages or skateboards with another object or vehicle, or non-collision incidents, where an injury occurs without a direct collision, for example, from a fall from a bicycle. Symptoms following such incidents can vary greatly depending on the nature and severity of the accident, ranging from minor bruises and scrapes to more serious conditions like fractures, dislocations, or even traumatic brain injuries. The progression of these conditions also varies based on the initial injury and the individual's overall health, potentially leading to long-term complications or secondary conditions. It's crucial to note that being in traffic means the incident occurred on public roadways, rather than other locations like private property or off-road areas.
