How Do Deadwood Personal Injury Claims Work?

To receive compensation for an injury, another person needs to be at fault. That is most commonly through negligence where a person fails to take reasonable care to prevent an incident from occurring.

You can receive compensation for economic loss (medical expenses, loss of wages) and non-economic loss (pain or trauma). While not all cases go to trial, analyzing how much you could receive at trial is necessary to ensure you get a fair sum if a settlement agreement is reached.

While it is possible to sort out these claims directly with the at-fault party’s insurance company, they will likely give you less compensation than you are entitled to.

What If I Contributed to the Injury/Accident?

South Dakota uses a modified version of the “comparative negligence” rule that measures the amount each party contributed to the accident. If your negligence (failure to take reasonable care) was more than “slight,” you cannot receive compensation. If your contribution to the accident was only “slight,” your compensation is reduced by the percentage you are determined to have contributed to the incident.
