Personal Injury Lawyer
Strong Advocacy For The Injured
An unexpected injury can change your life in an instant. Medical bills begin piling up, work becomes difficult or impossible, and the physical pain is often matched by stress and uncertainty about the future. Many people don’t know where to turn or how to make sense of the insurance process — especially when adjusters seem more focused on minimizing payouts than helping you recover.
Tarnovsky Lopez represents individuals and families throughout Florida who have been injured because of someone else’s careless or reckless behavior. Our approach is rooted in clarity, empathy, and strong legal strategy. When you’re dealing with pain, disruption, and financial pressure, you deserve guidance you can trust.
Understanding Personal Injury Claims in Florida
A personal injury claim is the legal path for holding someone responsible when their actions — or their failure to act — cause harm. That can include a distracted driver, a property owner who failed to correct a dangerous condition, a business that ignored safety standards, or any situation where preventable negligence led to injury.
Florida law allows injured people to recover compensation for the losses they suffer, from medical expenses to emotional trauma. You don’t have to face these costs alone, and you don’t have to navigate insurance companies without support.
How Fault Works Under Florida Law
Florida uses a modified comparative negligence system. This means you can pursue compensation even if you share some responsibility for the accident, as long as you were less than 51% at fault. Insurance companies sometimes try to exaggerate your share of the blame to reduce what they owe — which makes it especially important to understand your rights and have someone pushing back when needed.
There are also strict deadlines for filing a personal injury claim. Acting quickly helps preserve your case and ensures important evidence isn’t lost.

Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle
Personal injury law covers a wide range of accidents and incidents. Tarnovsky Lopez regularly assists clients with claims involving:
Car, truck, and motorcycle accidents
Rideshare collisions (Uber/Lyft)
Bicycle and pedestrian injuries
Slip and fall or trip and fall accidents
Dangerous property conditions
Dog bites
Negligent security situations
Boating or water-related accidents
No two cases are the same. What matters is how the injury happened, how it has affected your life, and what you need to move forward.
What Compensation Can Include
The impact of an injury is rarely limited to the hospital bill from the day of the accident. Depending on the circumstances, you may be entitled to recover compensation for:
- Medical treatment and future care
- Lost wages and reduced earning ability
- Pain and physical suffering
- Emotional distress
- Mobility limitations or long-term disability
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Damage to personal property
Recovery isn’t just about today — it’s about your long-term stability and well-being.
How Tarnovsky Lopez Helps
After a serious injury, the legal and insurance process can feel overwhelming. Our firm steps in to relieve that burden and guide you through every stage of your claim with clarity, care, and professionalism. From the start, we explain your rights in straightforward terms and handle all communication with insurance companies so you’re not navigating their tactics on your own.
We take the time to understand the full impact of your injuries — medically, financially, and personally — and gather the documentation needed to present a strong, well-supported claim. That includes reviewing medical records, evaluating long-term treatment needs, and assessing how the injury has affected your daily life and ability to work.
When it’s time to negotiate, we advocate firmly for the compensation you need to recover and move forward. And if the insurer refuses to act fairly, we are prepared to pursue litigation to protect your rights. Our goal is to support you through a difficult time, ensure your story is heard, and work toward an outcome that provides real stability and peace of mind.

Florida Insurance Claims & Litigation Attorneys
- Property Insurance Claims
- Personal Injury
- Medical Malpractice
A personal injury claim in Florida arises when someone is injured because of another person’s negligence or wrongdoing — such as in a car accident, slip and fall, or other preventable incident. These cases seek compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and in some cases, property damage.
If you were hurt because another person, business, or property owner failed to act responsibly, you may have a valid claim. Common examples include distracted driving, unsafe premises, or defective products. Our attorneys can review your situation and determine whether you’re entitled to pursue compensation.
Under Florida law, most personal injury cases must be filed within two years from the date of the accident. Certain exceptions may apply — especially in cases involving minors or government entities — so it’s important to contact an attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights.
You may be eligible to recover economic damages such as medical bills, rehabilitation costs, and lost income, as well as non-economic damages like pain and suffering or emotional distress. In severe cases, punitive damages may also be available to punish reckless behavior.
