Driver of hv veh inj in clsn w nonmtr vehicle nontraf, init

This code describes an injury sustained by an individual operating a large commercial vehicle, such as a truck or bus, when involved in a collision with a non-motorized vehicle (e.g., bicycle, animal-drawn vehicle) that occurred off a public roadway. The injury is being treated for the first time.

Use this code when documenting the initial encounter for a driver of a heavy transport vehicle who was injured in an accident that took place in a parking lot, private driveway, or other off-road setting, and involved a non-motorized vehicle. This code is appropriate for the initial assessment and treatment of the injuries resulting from such an incident.

• Ensure the accident occurred in a "nontraffic" area, meaning off a public highway or road.
• Verify the injured party was the "driver" of the "heavy transport vehicle" and the other party was a "nonmotor vehicle."
• This "initial encounter" seventh character (A) is used for the entire period a patient is receiving active treatment for the injury.
