When my grandfather expired my father had hell of a time in shifting the dead body from the hospital to home.Hospital refused to provide an ambulance for this purpose.None of the private taxis agreed either as they cosider it a bad omen to carry a dead body in their private taxi.My late father took out his full wallet at put it at the feet of a cab driver and requested him to take the body to home for last rites.But alas none relented.Finally a turbaned sikh showed up at the site and like a divine person he readily agreed to shift the body in his private car. I remember a ghastly incident wherein the landlord did not allow the tenant to bring in the dead body of his father for performing the last rights in the rented house as she considered it a bad omen.I wonder the hapless situation of a person in such a case. Do u believe and support or follow such bad omens?What would be your reaction in such a situation ? help / ignore ? |

Being the wise gentleman that you are, I'm sure you are aware of a tort cause of action called "Negligent Infliction of Emotional Distress" (NIED) which differs a bit from "Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress" (IIED). Normally, under NIED, one has to prove that there was physical injury (although a severe shock to the nervous system will suffice). However, there are two exceptions to this general rule: 1) erroneous report of a relative's death, and 2) mishandling of a relative's corpse. In these two situations, proof of physical injury is unnecessary to recover certain damages under NIED. Despite all of this crap, shit yeah, I'd help if the body can fit in my car. Please be advised that this comment was not intended to be used as legal advice or a representation of legal counseling, nor should it be used for such a purpose. Should anyone feel the need for legal services in this or any other contexts, please seek the counsel of a licensed attorney in your jurisdiction. Sorry Brain...I always have to add this disclaimer anytime I do anything in "Legalese" or some semblance thereof. I shall also always be willing ready to offer for shifting a cropse in my car - if so needed. regards bt
