How Negligence Causes Personal Injuries

Personal injury cases are built around the concept of negligence, which occurs when someone fails to act as a reasonable person would, and their carelessness causes harm to someone else.

Negligence can take many forms, including:

• A driver texting instead of watching the road
• A store owner ignoring a wet floor with no warning signs
• A landlord failing to repair broken stairs or railings
• A trucking company forcing drivers to meet unsafe deadlines
• A pet owner letting a dangerous dog roam freely

We use evidence, witness testimony, expert analysis, and legal strategy to prove negligence and fight for your right to compensation.

What Is the Statute of Limitations in South Dakota?

In South Dakota, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is three years from the date of the injury. This means you generally have three years to file a lawsuit in civil court against the party responsible for your injuries.

Every case is different and there are exceptions. That’s why we strongly encourage you to speak with a qualified attorney about your claim as soon as possible.

Types of Damages Available

If your personal injury claim is successful, you may be eligible to receive compensation for a variety of losses, including:

• Medical expenses – This covers everything from emergency medical care, ambulance costs, hospital stays, and surgeries to long-term rehabilitation, physical therapy, prescription medications, and future anticipated treatments. These costs can add up quickly, especially for serious injuries that require ongoing care.
• Lost wages – If your injuries caused you to miss work or impacted your ability to earn a living, you may be entitled to recover both past and future income losses. This includes reduced earning capacity if you can no longer return to the same job or work the same number of hours.
• Pain and suffering – Compensation may be awarded for the physical pain, mental anguish, anxiety, depression, and emotional trauma resulting from your injuries.
• Loss of enjoyment of life – This applies when your injuries prevent you from enjoying daily activities, hobbies, or time with loved ones.
• Property damage – If your vehicle, bike, phone, or other personal property was damaged in the incident, you can seek reimbursement for repair or replacement.
• Wrongful death damages – In fatal accidents, surviving family members may recover funeral and burial expenses, loss of companionship, and the financial contributions the deceased would have provided.

We work with medical experts, financial analysts, and other professionals to calculate the full extent of your damages, ensuring your claim reflects both current and future losses. Our goal is to help you recover what you truly need to move forward.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I have a personal injury case?

If you were injured because someone else acted carelessly or failed to keep others safe, you may have a valid personal injury claim. Common signs include medical treatment, missed work, ongoing pain, or other losses tied directly to the incident. A consultation with Steven Titus & Associates, P.C. can help determine whether you have grounds to move forward.

How much does it cost to hire Steven Titus & Associates, P.C.?

There is no upfront cost to hire our firm for a personal injury matter. We offer free consultations and only collect a fee if we successfully recover compensation for you. This allows you to pursue your claim without added financial stress.

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim?

The time limit depends on where the injury occurred and the type of case involved. In many situations, there is a strict statute of limitations. Missing the deadline can permanently bar your claim, so it is important to speak with a lawyer as soon as possible.

Will my case go to trial?

Most personal injury cases resolve through settlement negotiations, but some do proceed to trial if a fair outcome cannot be reached. Our firm prepares every case as if it will go to trial so we are ready for any path your claim takes.

How long will my personal injury case take?

The timeline varies depending on the severity of injuries, the complexity of the case, and how cooperative the insurance company is. Some cases resolve in months, while others may take longer if litigation becomes necessary.

What types of compensation may be available in my case?

Depending on the circumstances, compensation may include medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, property damage, and, in certain cases, wrongful death-related losses. Every case is evaluated individually.

Should I talk to the insurance company before hiring a lawyer?

It is best to speak with a lawyer before giving any statements to an insurance company. Adjusters are trained to protect their company’s interests, and early statements can be used to reduce or deny your claim.

What if the insurance company already offered me a settlement?

Early settlement offers are often much lower than the true value of a claim. Before accepting any offer, it is wise to have a lawyer review it to ensure it fully accounts for your current and future losses.

What should I bring to my free consultation?

If available, bring medical records, accident reports, photos, insurance information, and any correspondence related to your injury. Even if you do not have documents yet, our team can still evaluate your situation and explain your options.
