Sequential Injuries and Timing of Injuries

Sequential Injuries are not specifically addressed in our text by that name, but you should be able to identify what is meant by the term, given that clinical (during life) recognition of Sequential Injuries is critical; such an antemortem diagnosis may well prevent the necessity of documenting Sequential Injuries postmortem. Given this context:

What are sequential injuries?
How do we recognize them?
What types of victims are included in this group?

The Timing of Injuries may be important in several types of cases--including, but not limited to, patients or decedents who have sustained Sequential Injuries.

What are some of the forensic issues that come into play in determining the timing of injuries?
What are some of the factors that can alter the normal "healing" processes?
