Person outside car injured in clsn w ped/anml nontraf, init

This code describes an injury sustained by an individual who was outside of a car and involved in a non-traffic collision with either a pedestrian or an animal. The injury occurred during the initial phase of treatment for this specific incident.

This code is appropriate for documenting injuries when a person, not an occupant of a vehicle, is struck by a car that is in turn colliding with a pedestrian or an animal, and the event did not occur on a public highway or roadway. Examples include incidents in parking lots, private driveways, or off-road areas.

• Ensure the accident is explicitly documented as a "nontraffic" event.
• Verify the injured party was outside the vehicle at the time of impact.
• Confirm the collision involved a pedestrian or animal as the secondary impact object.
