V88.4: Person injured in collision between car and heavy transport vehicle, nontraffic

The ICD-10 V88.4 code refers to an individual who has sustained injuries due to a collision between a car and a heavy transport vehicle in a non-traffic setting. This may include collisions which occur in parking lots, designated vehicle storage areas, and other locations where regular traffic laws do not typically apply. The injuries from such an incident encompass a wide variety, depending on factors including the individual's position in the vehicle, the specifics of the collision, and the type of vehicles involved. Potential injuries can range from minor abrasions or contusions to more serious conditions such as fractures, dislocations, traumatic brain injuries or internal bleeding. These injuries may present with symptoms such as pain, swelling, bruising, impaired movement, blurred vision, loss of consciousness, or internal discomfort, among others. It's important to note that certain symptoms may not be immediately apparent and can take hours, days, or even weeks to present after the incident.
