V89: Motor- or nonmotor-vehicle accident, type of vehicle unspecified
The group of conditions under "Motor- or nonmotor-vehicle accident, type of vehicle unspecified" typically refers to a range of injuries that can occur as a result of an accident involving a vehicle, irrespective of whether the vehicle is motorized or not. For instance, the vehicle could be a car, bike, skateboard, or horse-drawn carriage. Common symptoms can widely vary, based on the severity and nature of the accident but may include pain, bruising, fractures, cuts, or internal injuries. The progression of these conditions also depends on the initial injury severity, affected body parts, and the individual's overall health condition. Such accidents can affect a variety of body systems, including the musculoskeletal, nervous, and respiratory systems. The causes can be diverse, ranging from driver error, weather conditions, mechanical failures, to hazardous road conditions.
