Person outsd car inj in clsn w statnry object nontraf, init

This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual who was outside of a car during a collision with an immovable object. The incident occurred in a non-traffic environment, such as a parking lot or private property. It specifically captures the initial phase of care for such an injury.

This code is appropriate for documenting injuries to pedestrians or bystanders struck by a vehicle that subsequently collides with a fixed object, provided the event did not occur on a public roadway. It also applies when an individual is outside their vehicle, perhaps performing maintenance, and the vehicle rolls into a fixed object, causing injury.

• Ensure the accident definitively occurred in a non-traffic setting (e.g., driveway, parking garage).
• Verify the patient was outside the vehicle at the time of impact with the fixed object.
• Always assign an external cause code (V-Y codes) to provide full context for the injury.
