Personal Injury in South Dakota

Unlike some states, South Dakota allows degree of fault compensation for personal injuries. This means that even if you are found to be more than 50 percent responsible for the accident, you may still recover some costs in a personal injury claim. In South Dakota, you can collect compensation for all of your medical expenses, any emotional or mental damages, lost wages, and any costs directly related to your personal injury. You have three years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim in South Dakota.
