Florida’s Personal Injury Statute of Limitations
Florida law gives injury victims two years to file a personal injury claim, as per Florida Statutes Section 95.11(3)(a). Missing this deadline can bar you from pursuing compensation, regardless of how serious your injuries are.
There are exceptions, however, that may shorten or extend the filing period. Consult with a Pensacola personal injury attorney at Tarnovsky Law to understand your case’s timeline and secure your rights.

Common Types of Injury Cases Within Our Scope of Practice
Car Accidents
Car accidents are a real threat, but many people don’t think about them until it’s too late. When an accident happens, it can be overwhelming, especially if you suffer serious injuries through no fault of your own.
If you’ve been hurt in a car accident caused by someone else’s carelessness, you might be able to file a claim for financial compensation. At Tarnovsky Lopez Law, our Pensacola personal injury attorneys are dedicated to supporting you. We believe no one should suffer because of another person’s negligence. We’ll fight for your rights and work hard to help you get the compensation you deserve.
Medical Malpractice
Going to the doctor should give you peace of mind, but when healthcare professionals make mistakes, it can lead to serious injuries or complications. Sadly, many patients face harm due to medical negligence.
In Pensacola, our personal injury lawyers are committed to standing up for those who have suffered from medical malpractice. If a doctor, surgeon, or other medical professional has caused harm, you have the right to seek justice. Let us use our years of experience to help you recover compensation and hold the responsible party accountable.
Workers’ Compensation
In Florida, most workers are entitled to workers’ compensation benefits if they are injured while on the job. You don’t have to prove someone was at fault, just that the injury occurred while working.
But filing for workers’ compensation isn’t always easy. The process can be filled with challenges and delays. Don’t struggle alone. We will guide you through the process and fight to get you the benefits you need so you can focus on getting better and getting back to work.
Wrongful Death
Losing a loved one is never easy, and it’s even harder when their death was caused by someone else’s negligence. While we can’t bring your loved one back, we can hold the responsible party accountable.
We have decades of combined experience in wrongful death cases, and understand the emotional pain you’re going through, and we’re here to handle the legal process for you. We’ll fight for justice in memory of your loved one and ensure you have the support you need during this difficult time.
Premises Liability
Have you been injured on someone else’s property due to unsafe conditions? If so, you may have the right to seek compensation for your injuries.
With years of acquiring negotiation skills and the legal knowledge, we can handle premises liability cases effectively. Whether you’ve been hurt in a slip and fall or due to another hazard, we’ll work to get you the compensation you deserve. We believe those responsible for unsafe conditions should be held accountable, and we’ll make sure your case gets the attention it deserves.
