Statute of Limitations
3-year statute of limitations for personal injury under SDCL § 15-2-14. South Dakota uses a modified comparative negligence system with a 51% bar and a unique "slight-gross" modification, meaning the plaintiff's negligence must be "slight" in comparison to the defendant's "gross" negligence.
