Driver of 3-whl mv inj in clsn w nonmtr veh nontraf, init

This code describes an injury sustained by the driver of a three-wheeled motor vehicle involved in a collision with another non-motor vehicle. The incident occurred in a non-traffic setting, such as a parking lot or private property, and represents the initial phase of care for the injury.

Apply this code when documenting injuries to a driver of a three-wheeled vehicle (e.g., a motorized tricycle, certain ATVs) who collides with a non-motorized vehicle (e.g., bicycle, golf cart, animal-drawn vehicle) outside of a public roadway. This is appropriate for the initial visit where the injury is first evaluated and treated.

• Always use in conjunction with an injury code (e.g., fracture, contusion) to specify the nature of the injury.
• Ensure the accident location was explicitly non-traffic (e.g., private drive, field) to differentiate from traffic accidents.
• Verify the vehicle type was a three-wheeled motor vehicle and the other vehicle was non-motorized.
