V95.8: Other aircraft accidents injuring occupant

The ICD-10 classification V95.8 refers to "Other aircraft accidents injuring occupant." This medical coding describes any injury sustained by a person inside an aircraft during an accident that is not explicitly classified elsewhere. Such accidents could occur during the various phases of a flight, like takeoff, cruising, or landing. The injuries that can result from these accidents can vary widely depending on the nature of the accident, ranging from minor bruises or cuts to major trauma, such as fractures, head injuries, or internal organ damage. The severity and type of the injury will largely be determined by the force of the impact, restraints used, and the area of the body impacted during the accident.
