Catastrophic Injury Attorneys Serving Sioux Falls and All of South Dakota

Our South Dakota trial lawyers understand the unique challenges facing seriously injured clients, and we prepare every case as if it is going to trial. South Dakota sits at the crossroads of two major freight corridors—Interstate 90 and Interstate 29—and the truck and highway crashes they bring are rarely simple. While many firms focus on quick settlements, we use our extensive trial experience to pursue the best possible result, whether that comes at the negotiating table or in the courtroom.

With a team of seasoned trial lawyers who are not afraid to go to court when it matters most, Ogborn Mihm is committed to protecting the rights of South Dakotans harmed by negligence, fraud, or misconduct—and to delivering results that make a difference. We represent clients in Sioux Falls, Rapid City, Aberdeen, Brookings, Watertown, and communities across the state.

South Dakota Personal Injury FAQs

How much does a personal injury lawyer cost in South Dakota?

Ogborn Mihm handles South Dakota personal injury cases on a contingency-fee basis—you pay no attorney’s fees unless we recover compensation for you. Your initial consultation is always free.

What is the deadline to file a personal injury claim in South Dakota?

In most South Dakota personal injury cases you have three years from the date of injury to file a lawsuit (SDCL § 15-2-14). Some claims have shorter deadlines—medical malpractice is generally two years, and claims against government entities can carry shorter notice requirements—so it’s important to speak with a lawyer promptly.

Can I still recover if I was partly at fault for my accident in South Dakota?

Possibly. South Dakota uses an unusual “slight/gross” comparative negligence rule (SDCL § 20-9-2): you can recover only if your own negligence was slight compared to the other party’s, and your damages are then reduced in proportion to your share of fault. Because even a moderate share of fault can bar recovery entirely, an early case review matters.

What should I do after a truck accident on I-90 or I-29 in South Dakota?

Get medical attention, document the scene if you safely can, and avoid giving a recorded statement to the trucking company’s insurer before speaking with a lawyer. Trucking companies move fast to protect themselves—contact an attorney as soon as possible to preserve evidence like the truck’s black-box data and driver logs.
