Ppi Claims
At the time you felt pressured into taking out payment protection insurance on your loan. The representative from the bank seemed to bamboozle you with facts and figures and to be honest; you didn`t quite understand what was going on. You just wanted the loan because you needed a newer car as the engine on your old one had packed in. However, here you are a number of years later and you feel that an injustice has been carried out. A number of people have been sold PPI in the past and they have made successful claims against the bank that made them take it out in the first place. Enquire about Ppi Claims through a claim management company and you could find that you have a very strong case. You weren`t made fully aware of the facts at the time and there`s a good chance that you were mis-sold the policy. Speak to an advisor about Ppi Claims and you might even find that your policy was full of exemptions and clauses which meant it would have never been paid anyway. Highly experienced PPIs were sold to tons of people and in countless cases they didn`t guarantee to cover loan payments in times of sickness or redundancy. Plenty of people have valid reasons to make the Ppi Claims and you could be one of them.

Q: What is an autopsy, and why would it help my case?

A: An autopsy is an in-depth examination of a dead person, by a doctor. The doctor who performs the examination is usually a pathologist who looks to find the precise cause of death. They do this by looking at all of the internal organs, including the brain, heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, and spleen. Each area of the body is examined for evidence that contributed or caused that person`s death.

In a case involving claims of wrongful death (where a person or family has claimed that their loved one died because of somone else`s carelessness) having an autopsy is crucial to proving your case. While an autopsy is vital to support such a case, it can also shed light on the possibility that your loved one did not die as a result of wrongdoing.

It`s a double edged sword. The autopsy could help your claim by showing that your loved one died from wrongdoing, or it could show that the treatment or actions that happened before death did not play a role in causing the death.

There are some religions that prohibit autopsies, and in those cases, it becomes extremely difficult to prove, with a reasonable degree of probability, that wrongdoing (such as malpractice) caused their death. In those cases, we must rely on other evidence to support our claim.

I am often called upon by grieving families to ask whether an autopsy should be performed on their loved one. As in life, there are no set answers to this crucial question. Emotions run high following a family death; questions about improper treatment may cloud a family`s judgment; uncertainty about the cause of death may also add to a feeling of helplessness.

The most common case where an autopsy is performed is in a traumatic accident. In murder or homicide cases autopsies are always performed as the police want to know exactly what caused the person`s death. They can usually use this information to track the perpetrator.

In New York, if a person dies suspiciously, or within 24 hours of having had surgery, an autopsy will usually be performed to determine the precise cause of death.

For example, I had a case where a man on dialysis came home one day, and was found later by his family in his bathroom having bled to death. The walls were covered with blood and there were open bandages all over the floor. An autopsy was able to confirm that the man`s shunt (the place where the dialysis needle was put into his arm each session) had gotten infected and progressively larger with each session. Nobody recognized that he was starting to bleed when he left the dialysis center. Unfortunately, when he arrived home, the shunt ruptured and since it was connected to an artery, blood shot out all over the bathroom, creating what looked like a murder scene. It was only through the autopsy that we were able to prove our case successfully.

Autopsies are usually performed by the County Medical Examiner. In the five boroughs of New York City, Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens, Manhattan and Staten Island, autopsies are performed by the New York City Medical Examiner`s Office. In Nassau, it`s the Nassau County Medical Examiner, and in Suffolk, it`s the Suffolk County Medical Examiner.
