V98-V99: Other and unspecified transport accidents

V99: Unspecified transport accident

The term "Unspecified transport accident" encompasses a range of incidents related to transportation that lead to injuries but do not fit neatly into other categories. These accidents can occur in any mode of transport such as cars, bicycles, trains, boats, or airplanes, or involve pedestrians. The exact sequence of events may not be clear, hence the use of the term "unspecified". Injuries may include but are not limited to skin abrasions, fractures, concussions, and internal damage. The severity and symptoms depend on the specifics of the accident and the individual's health condition at the time of the accident. For example, some might experience pain, bruising, swelling, loss of consciousness, or impaired function. This could impact various body systems, especially the musculoskeletal and neurological ones. In severe cases, these transportation accidents could lead to long-term disability or even be life-threatening.
