01 · Your filing deadline
What is the deadline in South Dakota?
South Dakota has a 3-year SOL for personal injury (SDCL § 15-2-14(3)). Under South Dakota's comparative negligence rule, a plaintiff's own negligence bars recovery unless it was slight in comparison with the defendant's, and damages are reduced in proportion (SDCL § 20-9-2). A lawyer can confirm yours.
