Melbourne Back And Spinal Cord Injury Lawyers
A serious injury to your back or spine can be more than a pain. It may keep you from working, threatening your livelihood and your family’s financial security. It may prevent you from doing things you once loved and affect your quality of life.
When you or a loved one sustains a back or spinal cord injury, the attorney you retain can make the difference between success and failure. At Platt Cole Russell & Simpson PLLC, we are dedicated to helping the victims of back and spine injuries get the justice and compensation they deserve.
Representing Victims In All Back And Spinal Cord Injuries
Back and spinal injuries can occur in a serious Brevard County motor vehicle collision, motorcycle crash or other severe personal injury accident. Common signs of an injury include loss of feeling, muscle movement and reflexes. You may have difficulty walking or breathing and experience pain in the back, neck or head.
We assist people with all types of serious back and spinal injuries, including:
- Degenerative disc disease
- Paraplegia and quadriplegia
- Ruptured and herniated discs
- Spinal stenosis
- Spondylolisthesis/spondylosis
Our back and spinal injury lawyers are skilled at navigating these complex injury cases. With a personal attorney on your side you can focus on your recovery while we focus on getting you the compensation you deserve.
We’ll Fight for You
While handling thousands of cases in Florida’s Space Coast region, we have seen firsthand that attorneys who are willing to fight hard often get the best results. The insurance company’s goal is to pay as little as possible on your back injury claim. When the insurer knows that your lawyer will accept a weak offer just to avoid trial, they simply will not offer what you deserve.
But when those insurance adjusters and their counsel hear the name Platt Cole Russell & Simpson PLLC, they know that they are in for a challenge. The opposition takes us seriously, and our record of success shows it. We will use all legal means necessary to obtain the maximum possible compensation in your case.

Experienced, Aggressive Representation One Client at a Time
We handle injury cases on a contingency basis, which means attorney fees will only come out of your verdict or settlement if we win for you. When you join us for your free initial consultation, you will meet directly with partner Platt Cole Russell & Simpson PLLC. Drawing on more than 20 years of experience, Mr. Platt will explain your options, advise you of your rights and help you determine whether legal action is appropriate.
