Our Practice Areas
Proudly Serving St. Petersburg & All of Pinellas County
From our office at 4455 Central Ave, Jorgensen Law, P.A. represents injured people across St. Petersburg — from Downtown and Historic Kenwood to Crescent Lake, Shore Acres, Snell Isle, Disston Heights, and Pinellas Point — and throughout Pinellas County, including Clearwater, Largo, Pinellas Park, Gulfport, and Seminole, as well as Tampa and the greater Bay area.
Most of the cases we handle begin on the roads our clients drive every day: I-275, US-19, 4th Street North, Central Avenue, and Gandy Boulevard. Others begin at work — on construction sites, in hospitals and hotels, in warehouses — where we pursue workers’ compensation benefits for injured employees. When an injury becomes a permanent disability, we help clients secure Social Security Disability benefits. And when the worst happens, our wrongful death attorneys stand beside St. Petersburg families with compassion and resolve.
Whether your case is a car accident, a fall on dangerous property, or a claim an insurance company has already denied, the consultation is free and you pay no fee unless we win. Contact us today.
A family firm — not a case mill
Choosing Jorgensen Law, P.A. means choosing a personal, professional touch over the impersonal approach of the big billboard firms. They juggle thousands of files at a time. We deliberately don’t.
Three Jorgensens. Three decades on Central Avenue. When you call, you talk to the attorney handling your case — from your first consultation to your final check.
Your case is handled personally by Sharon P. Jorgensen, Spencer J. Jorgensen, or Grady R. Jorgensen — three attorneys, one family name, decades in Florida courtrooms. Meet our attorneys.

The attorneys who will actually handle your case
At many firms the lawyer you meet is not the lawyer who works your file. Here you work with the Jorgensen family — three attorneys, one office on Central Avenue, and a caseload kept small enough that we answer the phone.

One office. One family.
No call center, no case mill, no rotating file handlers — the same people from your first call through resolution.
In Florida, your rights expire on a schedule
Most people who lose a valid claim never lose it in court — they lose it to a deadline nobody told them about. These four are the ones we see missed most often.
Evidence expires faster than deadlines do. Surveillance footage is overwritten in days and witnesses move on. The earlier we start, the more of your case still exists.
We handle the injury, the job, and the benefits.
Most St. Petersburg injury firms handle personal injury alone. If your accident happened at work — or left you unable to return to work — you would be hiring two or three firms who don’t talk to each other.
If a negligent driver, defective machine, or outside contractor caused your on-the-job injury, you may have both a comp claim and an injury claim. Workers’ comp never pays for pain and suffering. The injury claim does.
Workers’ compensation and Social Security Disability offset one another. Handled together by one firm, you keep more of your total monthly income.
The clocks above run simultaneously. One firm tracking all of them is the difference between a coordinated claim and a missed one.
Free consultation, no upfront cost, and we advance the expenses of building your case.
What people ask us first
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Florida?
Generally two years from the date of the accident, under Florida Statute §95.11. Florida cut this in half in 2023 — many sites still say four years, which is wrong. Claims against government entities run shorter. See our guide to the Florida statute of limitations.
What is my personal injury case worth?
It depends on the severity and permanence of your injuries, your medical bills and lost wages, the coverage available, and your share of fault. There is no standard figure, and anyone quoting one before reading your records is guessing. Try our free settlement calculator, or read how case value is actually calculated.
Do I have to pay anything upfront?
No. We work on a contingency fee: the consultation is free, we advance the costs of investigating and building your case, and we are paid a percentage only if we recover for you. No recovery, no attorney’s fee.
What if the accident was partly my fault?
You can still recover — if you are 50% or less at fault. Under Florida’s modified comparative negligence law (§768.81) your compensation drops by your share of fault, and past 50% you recover nothing. More on how shared fault works.
Doesn’t Florida’s no-fault insurance cover me?
Only partly. PIP (§627.736) pays 80% of medical bills and 60% of lost wages up to $10,000 — and only if you treat within 14 days. It never pays for pain and suffering. See how no-fault really works.
Can I get workers’ comp and still file an injury claim?
Sometimes — and it is one of the most commonly missed opportunities in Florida law. If someone other than your employer caused the injury, you may pursue a third-party claim alongside your benefits. Because comp never pays pain and suffering, that second claim is often worth more. Our workers’ compensation attorneys check for one in every case.
How long will my case take?
Straightforward claims can resolve in months. Serious-injury cases often run a year or more — mostly because you should not settle before maximum medical improvement, the point where your future medical needs are known. Here is a realistic timeline.
Will I have to go to court?
Most cases settle. But insurers pay full value only when they believe a firm is genuinely prepared to try the case — so we build every claim as though it will be tried in the Sixth Judicial Circuit here in Pinellas County.
