Holding Distracted Drivers Accountable
Last updated on September 3, 2024
Despite ongoing efforts to crack down on negligent motorists, drunk and distracted drivers continue to cause serious motor vehicle accidents throughout Florida and across the country. If you have been struck by a driver who was texting, talking on the phone, drunk or under the influence of drugs, you deserve an advocate who will protect your interests.
At Platt Cole Russell & Simpson PLLC, we are those advocates. We are proud to serve the victims of auto accidents who have suffered unfairly because of irresponsible drivers.
Tens of Millions Recovered for Injury Victims
No firm can legally promise a specific result for your case. However, we can guarantee that we will leave no stone unturned in our investigation. This allows us to uncover critical evidence that strengthens your claim, and then allows us to pursue compensation from every available source. Meanwhile, you will work directly with a proven distracted driver accident attorney who has helped thousands of injured people protect their rights.
This approach has helped us secure verdicts and settlements in tens of millions of dollars for clients throughout central Florida — including awards of six and seven figures in serious injury cases. Contact us for a free consultation and case evaluation to determine if you may have a case.
You’ve Already Paid for Their Negligence. Don’t Do It Twice.

If you were struck and injured by an impaired or distracted driver, you have already paid a price. Your physical pain and emotional trauma are unfair costs of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. You should not have to pay again in the form of medical bills or lost wages.
After a serious accident, you have plenty to worry about. Don’t worry about the cost of hiring a lawyer. We handle personal injury matters on contingency, which means we collect attorney fees only if we recover compensation for you.
At Platt Cole Russell & Simpson PLLC, we have decades of experience holding distracted and impaired drivers accountable for the harm they have caused. To schedule a free consultation and get your questions answered, please contact us in Melbourne at 321-725-3425 or 833-922-0554 toll free.
