About Our Personal Injury Law Office
When Nancy Turbak was just 26 years old in 1982, she made the bold decision to leave the litigation department of a prestigious Minneapolis firm and return to her roots in Watertown. Her goal? To establish Turbak Law Office, P.C.. Her journey began in nearby Kranzburg, where she attended a one-room schoolhouse and graduated from Watertown High School. Nancy went on to earn her undergraduate degree from Harvard College and a doctorate of jurisprudence from one of the nation’s top law schools.
Despite her outstanding credentials, Nancy faced significant challenges as a woman in a male-dominated field. Determined to make a difference, she rented two rooms in Watertown’s historic “Old Post Office” and began her legal practice.
From its inception, Turbak Law Office, P.C. has been dedicated to serving the local community. The firm’s early years focused on court-appointed criminal defense and family law matters, for which they provided vital support to victims of domestic abuse and represented clients in child custody battles. Nancy’s commitment to justice extended beyond her private practice as she also served as a magistrate judge for the Unified Judicial System, balancing her legal career with part-time public service.
Today, Turbak Law Office, P.C. continues to uphold its values of integrity, dedication, and compassionate advocacy. The firm’s primary focus is personal injury law, and Nancy’s team is committed to fighting for the rights of those who have been wronged. Turbak Law Office, P.C. is here to provide the support and guidance you need to demand the justice you deserve.

Frequently Asked Questions
Below are straightforward answers to some of our most frequently asked questions about personal injury cases in South Dakota:
You might have a valid personal injury claim if you suffered an injury due to someone else’s negligence or wrongful actions. Consulting a personal injury lawyer is the best way to determine the strength of your case. They will evaluate the details, gather necessary evidence, and advise you on your options.
If the insurance company offers you a quick settlement, it’s essential not to accept it immediately. Insurance companies often make low initial settlement offers to minimize their payouts. Consult a personal injury lawyer before accepting any offer so they can verify whether it covers all your medical costs and other losses.
The value of your personal injury case depends on several factors, including the severity of your injuries, the cost of your medical expenses, and the injury’s impact on your daily life. Other considerations include the other party’s degree of fault and insurance policy limits. A personal injury lawyer can provide a more accurate estimate after reviewing the specifics of your case.
Most personal injury cases are resolved without a trial, but being prepared for court is essential. If your attorney cannot reach a fair settlement through negotiation, they might recommend taking your case to court. They can present your case before a judge or jury.
Attempting to handle a personal injury claim without a lawyer is not recommended. Personal injury cases can be complex, involving negotiations with insurance companies, complex evidence, and strict legal procedures. A lawyer can handle these challenges effectively and significantly increase your chances of receiving fair compensation.
