V88: Nontraffic accident of specified type but victim's mode of transport unknown
V88.8: Person injured in other specified noncollision transport accidents involving motor vehicle, nontraffic
The ICD-10 code V88.8 refers to a person injured in a noncollision transport accident involving a motor vehicle in a nontraffic setting. This specific type of vehicular accident happens when a person is injured due to an incident with a motor vehicle but not because of a collision with another vehicle. This could include circumstances like the car rolling over, or accidents involving the vehicle's motion but not colliding with another car. Those injuries might occur anywhere other than a public highway. For example, this could happen in a parking lot, on private property, or other public areas not considered as traffic routes. It's important to remember that the possible injuries can vary depending on the impact's force and nature, ranging from minor bruises and sprains to fractures, internal injuries, or more severe conditions related to the head or spinal cord.
