Pedl cyclst (driver) injured in unsp nontraf, init

This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual riding a bicycle, tricycle, or similar pedal-powered vehicle, where the incident occurred in a non-roadway setting and the specific circumstances of the accident are not detailed. It covers both the person operating the pedal cycle and any passengers.

Apply this code for injuries resulting from pedal cycle accidents that happen off public roads, such as in a park, on a private driveway, in a backyard, or on a designated bike path not considered part of the general traffic flow. This code is appropriate when the exact nature of the non-traffic accident is unknown or undocumented.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the accident was non-traffic related.
• Use this code for the initial treatment of the injury.
• If the specific type of non-traffic accident is known (e.g., fall from pedal cycle), a more specific code from the V18 category should be considered.
