V89.3: Person injured in unspecified nonmotor-vehicle accident, traffic

The ICD-10 code V89.3 refers to a person who has been involved in an unspecified nonmotor-vehicle accident, occurring in traffic. The definition of "nonmotor-vehicle" implies that the incident involved a form of transportation not powered by an engine, which can include cycles, skateboards, push scooters, or other similar forms of transport. The term "unspecified" means the precise nature or circumstances of the accident has not been detailed. The injury could range from minor to severe with potential damage in various systems of the body, including the musculoskeletal system, central nervous system, or skin. The presentation and severity of the injury can vary widely based on factors such as velocity, protective equipment used, the surface the individual landed on, and the body part(s) directly impacted, among others. It's important to note that this code is used predominantly in the context of healthcare documentation and insurance claims, to depict that the injury occurred in a nonmotor-vehicle mishap.
