About the V38 Code Range
These accidents injure someone in or on a three-wheeled motor vehicle, or while boarding or getting off it, without a collision.
The subdivisions separate drivers, passengers, people on the outside, and unspecified occupants by traffic or nontraffic accident. For example, V38.0 identifies a driver in a nontraffic accident, while V38.5 identifies a driver in a traffic accident. V38.4 identifies someone boarding or getting off, without a traffic or nontraffic subdivision.
The final character of the detailed codes distinguishes an initial encounter, a subsequent encounter, or a sequela, meaning a later effect.
