I’ve been injured in an accident. When should I contact a lawyer?
Ideally, you should contact a personal injury lawyer within 24 hours to ensure your claim is protected. Although you may not need to hire an attorney right away, it is important to at least consult with one right away for legal guidance and advice that could impact your case. At our law firm, we offer free and confidential consultations to all accident victims.
How much time after my accident do I have to file a lawsuit?
In South Dakota, the statute of limitation is three years from the date of your accident, although there are some exceptions. This is why it is critical to seek legal advice as soon as possible to preserve your legal rights to a claim.
Observers of the legal profession have noted the quality of our firm’s work. The American Institute of Family Law Attorneys, the National Academy of Family Law Attorneys, and U.S. News & World Report have all bestowed accolades upon us.
I worked with Mike and Emily over the last couple of years dealing with an injury related to a vehicle accident. They were both very kind, helpful, prompt, and professional. I would highly recommend them and this firm.

FAQ
Motor vehicle accident compensation can cover your full medical care, including rehabilitative therapy, property damage (fixing or replacing your car), and any lost wages if you had to miss time at work. You may also be entitled to compensation for pain and suffering and emotional trauma from the event.
Yes, even if you were not wearing a helmet, that doesn’t mean that the driver who struck you wasn’t negligent. South Dakota doesn’t require motorcyclists over 18 to wear helmets. However, a judge may look askance at your not wearing a helmet and consider you reckless or uncaring for your safety, which could impact your award if your case goes to trial.
Yes, any medical professional may be named as a defendant in a malpractice suit. Nursing professionals must adhere to certain standards of patient care and treatment, and a failure to do so can be considered malpractice. Building a case against a Registered Nurse or Nurse Practitioner is much like building a malpractice case against a doctor.
Assigning liability in a pedestrian accident case starts with investigating the circumstances of the accident, gathering evidence, and seeking witnesses or a video of the accident. Your lawyer may also evaluate the driver’s behavior, including looking at the car’s event data recorder and possibly their phone records to see if they were illegally using the phone at the time of the wreck.
A denial from the insurance company isn’t the end of the road after a bicycle accident. Your bike accident lawyer can appeal the decision with the insurance company, and if that’s unsuccessful, then they may file a lawsuit against the driver who struck you. Bicycle accident lawyers are trained negotiators and may be able to achieve a better settlement for you than you could on your own.
Damages available for families in a wrongful death case include funeral and burial expenses for the deceased and any medical expenses they may have incurred after the accident before they passed away. Your family may also sue for the loss of financial support and benefits you no longer have because of the loss of your loved one, as well as pain and suffering, and mental anguish.
Your lawyer can negotiate a fair settlement with the trucker’s insurance company and, if their employer is also liable for the wreck, their insurance company. Insurance carriers tend to drag their feet and find any reason to deny a claim. Your lawyer can cut through the red tape and achieve a solution.
