Severity and value logic
How severity can change the value discussion

In this topic, chain cases involve Maker, seller, and marketplace can be liable. and bystanders cases involve Injured neighbors can also claim.. Settlement value can also move when the record shows Whether a defect is identified in the product, Whether the device and fire report were preserved, Which sellers are in the chain of distribution, Whether bystanders were harmed, and The severity of injuries and property loss.

Treatment story
How the treatment timeline should read

For this page, the treatment path usually turns on emergency care: Burn and smoke injuries are severe., specialist care: Ongoing treatment is documented., rehabilitation: Recovery is tracked over time., and documentation: Injury, property, and displacement losses.. When that sequence is documented, the case story feels more coherent to insurers, attorneys, and anyone reviewing the file.
