W13: Fall from, out of or through building or structure

The group of conditions classified under "Fall from, out of, or through building or structure" typically involves injuries resulting from accidental falls from high places like buildings, ladders, scaffolding, or other structures. The severity of injuries may vary greatly, depending on the height and nature of fall, and often affects multiple body systems. Injuries often include fractures, sprains, strains, dislocations, internal injuries, and even traumatic brain injuries in severe instances. The progression of these conditions largely depends on the injury's severity and the health of the individual prior to the fall. Rescue and immediate medical attention are generally required to manage and treat the immediate injuries, while ongoing medical management may be necessary for rehabilitation and recovery. Such falls are usually unintentional and can be due to various reasons such as a loss of balance, slipping, or workplace accidents among others.
