Our Personal Injury Practice Areas

Our personal injury attorneys have extensive experience handling a variety of injury claims, including:

Car & Motor Vehicle Accidents

Automobile accidents can cause devastating physical injuries and financial burdens. We represent clients injured in car, truck, motorcycle, and other motor vehicle collisions, protecting your rights to damages for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more. Our attorneys thoroughly investigate the accident details, gather evidence, and negotiate aggressively with insurance companies and opposing parties to achieve the best possible results.

Premises Liability

If you have been injured due to unsafe or hazardous conditions on someone else’s property, you may have a premises liability claim. This includes slip and fall accidents, inadequate maintenance, poor lighting, and other dangerous situations. Our team works to establish property owner negligence and hold responsible parties accountable for your injuries and losses.

Uninsured Motorist Accidents

Accidents involving uninsured or underinsured drivers present unique challenges. We help victims navigate insurance claims and pursue compensation through uninsured motorist coverage or other legal avenues. Our attorneys fight to ensure you receive the financial support necessary for your recovery despite the other driver’s lack of insurance.

Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injury

  • What is a personal injury claim?

    A personal injury claim is a legal action seeking compensation for injuries. It covers medical expenses, lost wages and other damages caused by someone else’s negligence. 

  • How long does a personal injury lawsuit take?

    The timeline for personal injury cases in South Dakota varies widely. Simple cases might settle in three to six months, while complex ones could take one to two years or longer. Factors influencing duration include injury severity, liability clarity, parties’ willingness to negotiate and court schedules. 

  • Is South Dakota a no-fault state?

    No, South Dakota is an at-fault state, meaning the person who caused the accident is responsible for damages. 

  • What is the statute of limitations?

    The state’s statute of limitations for most personal injury cases is three years, meaning you have this time to file a lawsuit after the injury occurs. There is a much shorter statute of limitations if the lawsuit is against a governmental entity and you should contact an attorney immediately if the case may involve the state or local government. Each case is unique and we can provide an estimate based on your specific case. 

  • Should I see a doctor if I feel fine?

    Yes, it is recommended to see a doctor immediately, as some injuries (like whiplash) have delayed symptoms, and a medical record is crucial for a claim.
