V87.8XXA
ICD-10-CMPerson injured in other specified noncollision transport accidents involving motor vehicle (traffic), initial encounter
This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual in a motor vehicle accident that was not a collision, but rather another specified type of transport accident occurring on a public highway or road. This includes incidents like a person falling from a moving vehicle, being thrown against the interior of a vehicle during a sudden stop, or being injured by a shifting load within a vehicle, provided it is the initial treatment for the injury.
Use this code when documenting injuries from non-collision motor vehicle incidents such as a passenger falling out of a car door that unexpectedly opened, a driver being injured by a sudden, violent swerve to avoid an animal, or a person injured by cargo shifting and striking them inside a vehicle. This code is appropriate for the initial encounter for these types of injuries.
