V90-V94: Water transport accidents
Water transport accidents refer to a group of incidents or injuries that occur during maritime activities. They encompass various situations, ranging from accidental drowning to injuries sustained from watercraft collisions. Numerous factors contribute to these accidents, such as weather conditions, watercraft malfunction, operator error, and unsafe behaviors like not wearing life jackets or overloading the vessel. Symptoms following a water transport accident depend on the nature and severity of the injury, but may include pain, swelling, bruising, cuts, burns, difficulty breathing, and loss of consciousness, among others. The progression of these conditions can vary greatly, from minor injuries requiring minimal treatment to critical situations requiring immediate medical attention. Both the respiratory and musculoskeletal systems are often affected during these incidents. Long term complications, if any, largely depend on the initial injury and timely receipt of appropriate medical care.
