Medical negligence claims are becoming more prominent due to a number of reported factors which include: Increasing pressure on public hospitals and doctors due to rising patient numbers, education of the public of their right to make a claim for injuries arising from medical negligence & increased advertising from compensation law firms representing claimants on a "no win no fee" basis - giving access to representation to those who would not otherwise be able to afford it.
