Personal Injury Solicitors in Folkestone

Folkestone is a coastal town on the English Channel in Kent, at the eastern end of the M20 and close to the Channel Tunnel terminal at Cheriton, which brings heavy freight traffic. Compensation claims in Folkestone can follow road accidents involving drivers, cyclists or pedestrians, slips and trips on the seafront, on pavements or in shops and accidents at work in haulage, hospitality or construction. Solicitors also act for people hurt on holiday abroad and in industrial disease, serious injury, child injury and fatal accident claims.

Claims are usually funded with a no-win, no-fee agreement. If the claim succeeds, a success fee is taken from the compensation, up to the maximum set in the agreement, and the client normally pays nothing if it fails. Claims must usually be started within three years of the accident.

A solicitor can gather evidence, arrange medical reports, deal with the insurer and help arrange rehabilitation where needed. Photos of the hazard, witness details and any accident book entry all help a claim.
