Such incidents may include falls, loss of control, or other mishaps that occur while the motorcycle is in motion but not in direct contact with another entity.

V28 covers injuries sustained by motorcycle riders in noncollision transport accidents, including fractures, lacerations, and contusions that occur without direct impact with another vehicle or object.
V28 codes should be used when documenting injuries that arise from noncollision incidents involving motorcycles, ensuring that the circumstances of the accident are clearly articulated in the medical record.
Documentation for V28 should include a detailed account of the accident, the nature of the injuries sustained, and any relevant clinical findings to support the coding of noncollision transport accidents.
