Coding notes
This section is structured in 12 groups. Those relating to land transport accidents (V01-V89) reflect the victim’s mode of transport and are subdivided to identify the victim’s “counterpart” or the type of event. The vehicle of which the injured person is an occupant is identified in the first two characters since it is seen as the most important factor to identify for prevention purposes.
