V89: Motor- or nonmotor-vehicle accident, type of vehicle unspecified
V89.1: Person injured in unspecified nonmotor-vehicle accident, nontraffic
The ICD-10 code V89.1 corresponds to an injury sustained in an unspecified nonmotor-vehicle accident, occurring in a nontraffic situation. This denotes an individual who has been involved in an accident where the vehicle involved is not motorized or has not been specified. This may include incidents involving bicycles, roller skates, skateboards, wheelbarrows, or even child's wagons, among other non-motor vehicles. The accident occurs in an environment not designated as a roadway or vehicle-traffic-related area. It is crucial to note that the exact nature of the injury itself is not specified within this code. Rather, it is an umbrella term that includes a wide array of potential injuries, varying in severity, which could range from scrapes, fractures, to more severe conditions depending on the nature and circumstances of the accident.
