The equine insurance industry has grown significantly in recent years. This means that increasingly we have to become more involved frequently in claims for horses insured.
In the working protocol of most insurers is the postmortem study all horses, a task that usually tend to fall under the horse's own veterinary surgeon insured or any other veterinary surgeon working in the area.

Usually the dead horse has had veterinary care, there is therefore a clinical diagnosis and if the necropsy, easier, will aim to confirm this presumption or qualify it in other cases correct.
By contrast, in many cases, the horse found dead in his box, with no previous medical diagnosis and is required to manage the payment of compensation is accurate diagnosis of the causes of death. We should note that the proceedings veterinary insured horses it is also possible to find in cases of bad faith, where the effects that have caused death can be triggered.
So necropsy poor technique can therefore pass unnoticed a case of bad faith, which could have caused malicious damage to the horse, or conversely, hinder the recovery of insurance a client injured, not to justify our report the causes of death.
We very often this kind of work he is entrusted to a veterinary surgeon, trained in medicine but without having specific expertise in anatomopatolgía, working alone, and often go without the necessary material for making samples or the proper equipment for the completion of the autopsy and in many cases the horse has been dead for many hours or days finding and descomposción initial state.


In contrast, this veterinarian is expected to issue an accurate diagnosis of the causes of death only with the macroscopic examination, and its report will be submitted to second opinions, put forward as potential forensic evidence in lawsuits and judgments and awards will be central to the amounts significant economic, expecting that report something similar to the model forensic scientist who both see on the television series.
