Hospital Quality Report Sparks Rise in Medical Negligence Enquiries

Dec. 7, 2009 - PRLog -- Nowinnofee.co.uk, the UK’s first independent resource website for people looking to pursue compensation claims, has today announced a ten fold increase in the number of people looking for information about making hospital negligence claims. This follows the recent report by Monitor, the Independent Regulator of NHS Foundation Trusts. Enquiries began shortly after the story was published in the media with people worried they, or their relatives, did not receive the quality of care they should expect.

Commenting on the increased number of website visitors, Tom Johnson, managing director and founder of Nowinnofee.co.uk said; “The public are looking for some honest and straightforward advice, especially after seeing the newspapers last week and over the weekend. Of course many people are just looking for additional information for reassurance but where there might be a case to answer, we assist by offering access to specialist legal teams who help identify how a claim for compensation may be made. Medical negligence claims are notoriously harder to win than say, a whiplash claim, but there’s no doubt that the impact medical negligence can make on a patient’s life is very high so it is only right that poor practice is highlighted and those effected are compensated.”

Nowinnofee.co.uk users can find a range of useful guides and information on the website and can talk directly to specialist legal practitioners for healthcare negligence claims.

“Compensation culture aside, healthcare users have the right to be treated fairly. Many people do not realise that they can make a claim against poor hospital care and that’s where we step in.” concluded Tom Johnson.
