Other motorcycle driver injured in collision with railway train or railway vehicle in traffic accident
ICD-10 V25.49 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of other motorcycle driver injured in collision with railway train or railway vehicle in traffic accident.
The ICD-10 code V25.49 is used to classify injuries sustained by motorcycle drivers involved in collisions with railway trains or railway vehicles during traffic accidents. This code captures the external cause of morbidity and mortality associated with such incidents, which can result in severe injuries or fatalities. Motorcycle drivers are particularly vulnerable in these scenarios due to the lack of protective barriers compared to other vehicles. Common injuries may include traumatic brain injuries, fractures, and soft tissue injuries. Accurate coding of this incident is crucial for public health data collection, resource allocation, and understanding the epidemiology of motorcycle-related accidents. Documentation should include details about the circumstances of the accident, the type of railway vehicle involved, and the nature of the injuries sustained to ensure precise coding and appropriate treatment planning.
Emergency department notes should clearly document the mechanism of injury, type of motorcycle, and details of the collision with the railway vehicle.
Patients presenting with trauma after a motorcycle accident involving a train, including head injuries, fractures, and lacerations.
