Although only really started in the 1940’s as post war victims were awarded funds, the idea of compensation has grown within our society and now seems to have a deep root within our national ethics. The idea of justice is universal and has been philosophically discussed as perhaps even innate. Everyone strives towards an idea of fairness; and justice for all is a massive part of that.

As times have changed throughout the last hundred years, so has society and we have seen and rejoiced in an increased equality between all walks of life.

In the old days, claiming compensation was an arduous, bureaucratic and particularly expensive scenario, where the injured party would wait months and even years to receive any compensation. This practice was put to use to deter those with less money and les social standing from taking on their employers or local councils.
