Pedestrian injured in other and unspecified transport accidents (V09)

The ICD-10 code V09 category covers injuries sustained by pedestrians involved in various types of nontraffic and traffic transport accidents that are either unspecified or fall outside typical vehicle collisions. These codes specify the nature of the motor vehicle and the encounter type, such as initial, subsequent, or sequela.

Medical coders use codes from this section to classify pedestrian injuries from diverse scenarios including accidents involving unspecified motor vehicles, military vehicles, and other motorized vehicles like snowmobiles or trains. For example, V09.00XA refers to a pedestrian injured during a nontraffic accident with an unspecified motor vehicle, including accidents at motor racing events, while V09.29XA includes injuries from traffic accidents involving other motor vehicles like trains or off-road vehicles. This section is essential when coding incidents like a pedestrian hit by a vehicle on a closed public road or a pedestrian trapped by a bus door, helping to capture specific contexts such as "Accident during motor racing on enclosed track" or "Train accident involving explosion," ensuring precise documentation of injury circumstances for treatment and reporting.

Instructional Notations

7th Character Note

Certain ICD-10-CM categories have applicable 7th characters. The applicable 7th character is required for all codes within the category, or as the notes in the Tabular List instruct. The 7th character must always be the 7th character in the data field. If a code that requires a 7th character is not 6 characters, a placeholder X must be used to fill in the empty characters.

  • The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from category V09

7th Character

Indicates that a seventh character is to be assigned to codes in a subcategory.

  • A - initial encounter
  • D - subsequent encounter
  • S - sequela
