A person who has a "suspected minor injury" in a crash should be labeled as which letter on a UD-10?

1. A

2. B

3. C

4. O

The correct answer is: B

In the context of a UD-10 form, which is used for crash reporting, a person with a "suspected minor injury" should indeed be categorized as B. This classification is specifically assigned to individuals who may have experienced an injury that is not life-threatening but still requires medical evaluation or treatment. This designation recognizes that while the injury might be considered minor, it still involves some level of concern that warrants its identification as a medical issue. This is important for data collection and reporting purposes, as it helps law enforcement and other agencies assess the nature of accidents and the extent of injuries involved. In contrasting classifications, individuals with more severe (typically life-threatening) injuries would be labeled differently, which emphasizes the significance of a "suspected minor injury." This clear categorization ensures accurate recordkeeping and can inform follow-up actions or investigations related to the crash.
