Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injury Cases in South Dakota
Q: What types of damages can I recover in a personal injury case? A: You may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and, in some cases, punitive damages.
Q: How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in South Dakota? A: The statute of limitations for most personal injury cases in South Dakota is three years from the date of the injury. However, exceptions may apply, so it’s important to consult an attorney promptly.
Q: Can I still recover compensation if I was partially at fault for the accident? A: Yes. South Dakota follows a comparative negligence rule, which allows you to recover damages as long as you are not more than 50% at fault.
Q: What if the insurance company offers me a settlement? A: Before accepting any settlement, consult an attorney to ensure the offer fairly compensates you for your losses. Once accepted, you typically cannot pursue additional compensation.
Q: Do I need an attorney for a personal injury claim? A: While not required, having an experienced attorney greatly improves your chances of securing maximum compensation and navigating the complexities of the legal process.
