Car Accidents in South Dakota
Car accidents in South Dakota, particularly in urban areas like Sioux Falls, are common due to factors such as high traffic volumes, distracted driving, speeding, and failure to yield. Roads like W 57th St are especially prone to accidents due to frequent intersections and heavy commuter traffic.
South Dakota follows a fault-based insurance system, allowing injured individuals to pursue compensation from the at-fault driver’s insurance for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages. In cases involving serious injuries, victims may pursue additional legal action to secure compensation for long-term care and rehabilitation.
