2011 Charity Drive - Chuck Philips

Thank you so very much to all those who participated in our Christmas charity drive on behalf of All Children's Hospital and the RAP house as it was a great success due to your overwhelming response.

Clothes, toiletries, games and gift cards were donated on behalf of the RAP House, and toys, cash and art kits were provided for All Children's Hospital. Additionally, my office matched the gifts with additional purchases and monetary contributions. I am convinced that you, our friends of the firm, are the most generous and caring people in our community!

Sincerely,

Secrets of car insurance adjusters

Friday, 30 September 2011 17:26

The light turns green. You drive forward. Suddenly your world slams sideways, and an airbag punches you in the face. Someone ran the red light and broadsided you. Now what? Don't say anything, and, for heaven's sake, don't sign anything. And if the other guy's insurance company sends over a claims adjuster the next day? Don't talk to him either. Insurance claims adjusters are trained to sniff out fraud. Some say they're also trained to mess with your head by:

Trying to get you to settle immediately (one company sends adjusters to accident scenes to offer checks on the spot).
Tricking you into compromising your case.
Coercing you to use a "preferred" repair shop.
Offering less than fair replacement value if the car is totaled.

The Auto Accident Victim’s Essential Guide

Wednesday, 19 August 2009 18:32

First Step is to Report the Claim:

Report the accident to your insurance company and get a claim number; you will need this for your No-Fault medical benefits.
Make sure the accident is reported to the at-fault party’s insurer. Briefly describe the facts of how the accident occurred, but do not discuss your medical condition or treatment with them. Your attorney should be the person who communicates your medical information to them.
Your insurer may require you to give them a statement under your policy terms. Advise your company that you are willing to give them a statement; however you would like your attorney to be present for that meeting.
There is no requirement to give a statement to the other party’s insurance company, therefore do not give a recorded statement to the other party’s company until you speak with your attorney.

Written By Kim Thomas, Trinity Neighborhood News

Charles S. Philips, Personal Injury Law, is a firm dedicated to victim representation in personal injury law and insurance coverage issues and handles legal matters in the areas of personal injury, wrongful death and insurance law, as well as sports agency law. Philips is assisted in his practice by paralegal Sharon Grimes, who has worked with him for 12 years. The firm recently outgrew the former location on Rancho Del Rio Dr. in New Port Richey and has relocated to a new office with twice as much room.

Although still in New Port Richey, the new office is located on River Crossing Blvd., near Timber Greens Golf Course. In addition to Pasco, Philips also represents clients at satellite locations in Pinellas, Hillsborough, Hernando and Citrus counties.

“I meet with my clients personally on every case because it allows me direct involvement with them,” says Philips. “I strive to provide comprehensive personal injury representation that suits the individual needs of each client.”

Philips received his undergraduate degree in Criminal Justice from the University of South Florida (with honors) in 1985 and graduated from Stetson College of Law in St. Petersburg in 1987. Then, in January 1988, Philips began his legal career with the State Attorney’s office in Pinellas County. He served five years in the Traffic and Misdemeanor Divisions as lead trial attorney and finally, as felony division assistant.
