Drawing a public attention and awareness towards casualties is important to prevent unnatural deaths; this possibly could reduce the incidence of such cases. This is a retrospective study (3 years & 11 months) conducted to understand the magnitude & pattern of medicolegal cases in this region of the state.
In this study revealed that road traffic accidents (64.6%) constituted the majority of medicolegal cases out of 1300, followed by assault and poisoning (10.3% and 8.4% respectively). Male predominance is quite evident. The affected age group is 21-30 years (30.5%) followed by 31-40 years and were more prone to such casualties

Acute poisoning with various substance is common everywhere. The earlier initial resuscitations, gastric decontamination and use of specific antidotes, better the outcome. The aim of this study was to characterize the poisoning cases admitted to the Harsha Hospital, Nelamangala, Bangalore rural. The cases admitted to the emergency department of Harsha Hospital during the period of 3 years and 3 months (1st January 2009 to 31st March 2012) were evaluated retrospectively. We reviewed data obtained from the hospital medical records. This study highlighted the need to establish a poison information center for the better management and prevention of poisoning cases.Keywords
