V88.2: Person injured in collision between car and pick-up truck or van, nontraffic

The ICD-10 code V88.2 refers to an individual who has been injured due to a collision between a car and a pick-up truck or van in a nontraffic location like a parking lot, driveway or private area. This code is used to categorize these particular types of accidents, not to diagnose a specific medical condition. The extent and nature of injuries sustained can vary greatly due to several factors including the force of impact, the position of the injured individual at the time of collision, use of seatbelts, and more. Injuries may range from minor bruises and scrapes to more serious injuries such as fractures, internal injuries, or traumatic brain injuries. This categorization helps in recording and further analysis of such events to improve safety regulations and prevention measures. These injuries require immediate medical attention followed by appropriate treatment based on the severity and type of injury.
