Personal injury cases in Sturgis
Helping victims of accidents and wrongful death
Every year, Sturgis sees an influx of visitors for the world-famous Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, and unfortunately, accidents are common during this event. But serious injuries can also occur on rural roads, in businesses, or even in everyday life. We represent Sturgis residents and visitors in car and

wrongful death claims. George Nelson brings a prosecutor’s background and trial experience to every case, fighting for the compensation you need to recover physically, financially, and emotionally.
