Have you ever thought about it? Some form of law addressing personal injury
has been around literally for thousands of years. If we go back to Biblical and ancient times,
the roots of what are now known as tort law and personal injury law were
established. What was known as the law
of retribution meant someone who harmed another was required to repay the
person harmed.
Beginning in England in the early 1500’s Common Law
prevailed. In this type of law, which
was NOT related to church law, precedents and past rulings determined legal
issues. The courts had the power to
interpret law. The system was, more
equitable for those who were not part of the ruling classes.
Even as recently as a century ago personal injury law was
not common. The nature of personal
injury law today in the United States and The Great Southwest allows the
average person to seek restitution. Ken
Wagner Law in Albuquerque is just such a law firm. From our family at Ken Wagner Law to yours
Happy Holidays and a very prosperous New Year.
