V89: Motor- or nonmotor-vehicle accident, type of vehicle unspecified
V89.2: Person injured in unspecified motor-vehicle accident, traffic
V89.2 refers to a person who has sustained injuries as a result of being involved in a motor-vehicle accident that is unspecified and has occurred in traffic. This includes a wide range of potential injuries from minor scrapes and bruises to more serious trauma such as fractures, internal injuries, or concussions. The severity and type of injury largely depend on factors such as the speed at which the motor vehicle was moving, the type of collision, whether the person was a driver, passenger, or pedestrian, and whether safety equipment like seatbelts or helmets was in use. Symptoms vary widely depending on the injuries sustained and can range from pain, swelling, or visible injury to less visible signs such as confusion, dizziness, or difficulty breathing after a more serious impact. The mental and emotional impact of a motor-vehicle accident can also contribute to the overall condition of the person involved.
