Snubbed blind guest gets compensation and apology

Mon, 03 Aug 2009 10:06:54 UTC

A blind New Zealand woman has received $8000 in compensation after suing an accommodation owner in New Zealands' North Islands, after they failed to honour the booking she had made and she was asked to leave after 1day. Laura Eitjes, of Tauranga had previously stayed at the same accommodation and had experienced no previous problems. It has taken two-and-a-half years for Ms Eitjes to receive an apology from the former owners of the North Island lodgings.

After unsuccessful mediation, the defendants were initially prepared to fight at the Human Rights Review Tribunal.

But in an out-of-court settlement, Ms Eitjes has agreed not to name the guest accommodation and has received $8000 in compensation along with an apology from the former owners.

The Guardian Online has reported an significant rise in the volume of claims being made against cosmetic surgeons where claimaints have suffered injuries/illness as a result of surgery they have undertaken. Families of patients making claims on behalf of patients that have died as a result of cosmetic surgery has also increased.

The patients' charity Action against Medical Accidents (AvMA) is so concerned that it is considering setting up an independent group to provide information on surgeons' success rates.

Peter Walsh, chief executive of AvMA spoke to the Guardian Online about the steady increase of claims against cosmetic surgeons.."It is terrible but it will be something that rises significantly as the number of people choosing to have these operations continues to increase, and as awareness spreads that claims against surgeons can be pursued. This is an area crying out for better regulation."
