Injuries sustained in falling fatalities in relation to different distances of falls
2018, Journal of Forensic and Legal MedicineCitation Excerpt :Also survival rates are inversely proportionate to the distance of fall. However, other studies1,7,12,13,19 provided some differences which included the age group of workers which was more than 45 years, falling at home rather than workplaces, suicidal fall of single women is more than that of married women, suicidal fall is more prominent than the accidental and finally homicidal fall is not rare. These differences may be explained by the fact that a high percentage of victims were of young age who usually fall at home.
