V88.9: Person injured in other specified (collision)(noncollision) transport accidents involving nonmotor vehicle, nontraffic

The specified condition, V88.9, refers to injuries obtained from certain types of transport accidents. More specifically, this code is used when an individual has been involved in a collision or non-collision accident that did not occur in a motor vehicle and didn't occur as part of traffic. Such situations could include accidents on bicycles, skateboards, or similar non-motorized vehicles. When this type of accident occurs, various types of injuries can be sustained, ranging from minor cuts and abrasions to more serious ones like fractures or head injuries. Symptoms would typically depend on the severity and location of the injury, but can include pain, bleeding, bruising, swelling, or even loss of consciousness in severe cases. The progression of these injuries and how they affect the body systems will also depend on their severity and whether any complications develop.
