This code describes the long-term effects or complications arising from an injury sustained by an individual who was an occupant (not the driver or passenger inside) of a three-wheeled motor vehicle involved in a collision with a car, pickup truck, or van. The original accident occurred in a non-traffic environment, such as a private driveway, parking lot, or off-road area. The sequela could manifest as chronic pain, functional limitations, or other lasting health issues directly attributable to the initial trauma.

This code is used when documenting a patient presenting with a current condition or symptom that is a direct consequence of a past injury from the specific type of non-traffic accident described. It is appropriate for follow-up visits where the focus is on managing or treating these long-term effects, rather than the acute injury itself. Examples include chronic pain management, rehabilitation for residual weakness, or treatment of post-traumatic arthritis.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela being treated (e.g., chronic pain, scar contracture).
• Ensure the medical record clearly links the current condition to the specified past accident event and vehicle types.
• Verify that the original accident was indeed a "nontraffic" event and involved a three-wheeled motor vehicle colliding with a car, pickup truck, or van.
