Motorcycle rider injured in other and unspecified transport accidents
Chapter 20:External causes of morbidity
ICD-10 V29 is a used to indicate a diagnosis of motorcycle rider injured in other and unspecified transport accidents.
The ICD-10 Level 1 Category code V29 pertains to motorcycle riders who have sustained injuries in various transport accidents that are not specifically classified elsewhere. This category encompasses a range of conditions resulting from incidents involving motorcycles, including but not limited to collisions with other vehicles, falls, and accidents occurring during motorcycle operation. The clinical significance of this code lies in its ability to capture the unique nature of injuries sustained by motorcycle riders, which often differ from those experienced by occupants of enclosed vehicles. Accurate coding in this category is essential for understanding the epidemiology of motorcycle-related injuries and for developing targeted interventions to improve rider safety.

V29 includes injuries sustained by motorcycle riders in various transport accidents, such as fractures, lacerations, and concussions resulting from collisions or falls.
V29 codes should be used when documenting injuries specifically related to motorcycle accidents that do not fall under more specific transport accident codes.
Documentation must include details of the accident, the nature of the injuries sustained, and any relevant clinical findings to support the use of V29.
