Folkestone Compensation Claims

The resort town of Folkestone is located on the South East coast in the county of Kent.  It has sandy beaches, colourful gardens and charming people.  The town is situated right next to the Straits of Dover and on a clear day you can see France in the distance over the channel.  

The town has excellent communications to London and Europe.  Two centuries ago the idea of the Channel Tunnel was born but it was not until 1987 that work started in Folkestone and France and did not stop until it was finally finished in 1994.  The town now boasts a Eurotunnel passenger terminal taking freight vehicles, cars, and foot passengers via the Channel Tunnel to Calais.   

There is a cobbled old high street which leads down to a working harbour with a wide promenade with outstanding views.   There is plenty of fresh seafood as the town houses many fisherman and has done for years.  The port is less busy these days with only the Hoverspeed offering up to four crossings per day between Folkestone and Boulogne. The approximate sea crossing time is around 60 minutes.  There is a fine selection of restaurants, cafes, pubs and old taverns.  

The old cobbled high street is a lovely walk down to the harbour but because of the old cobbled paving you have to be careful on your feet.  If you do slip trip or fall then you need to find yourself a good personal injury solicitor.  There are a solicitor firms in the town of Folkestone but to find the best company you may have to look further a field.  Because of the internet many businesses are turning to the web to offer their services.  ‘No win no fee’ agreements are being offered all over the internet but you must be careful that there are no hidden costs.  ‘No win no fee’ does not necessarily mean you won’t have to pay for anything.  If medical notes are needed you may have to pay your Doctor to release them for the case.  A good Solicitor will advice you on this and will only take the case on if they believe they have a good chance of winning.
