Where to File in South Dakota
South Dakota has a 3-year personal injury statute under SDCL § 15-2-14 applying from the date of discovery. South Dakota plaintiffs file in MDL 2921 in the District of New Jersey. Sioux Falls plastic surgery practices placed Allergan BIOCELL products during the 2005–2019 period. South Dakota's 3-year window means BIA-ALCL diagnoses from 2023 onward are within the limitations period for South Dakota claimants.
