Occ of anml-drn vehicle inj in clsn w statnry object, init

This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual who was riding in a vehicle pulled by an animal (e.g., horse-drawn carriage, buggy) when it collided with an immovable object. The collision resulted in trauma to the occupant.

Apply this code when documenting injuries from incidents such as a buggy hitting a tree, a wagon striking a building, or a cart colliding with a lamppost. This code is appropriate for the initial treatment of the injuries sustained in such an event.

• Ensure the patient was an occupant, not the animal handler or a pedestrian.
• Verify the collision was with a fixed or stationary object, not another moving vehicle or animal.
• The "A" suffix indicates an initial encounter for treatment of the injury.
