Yes. When the victim of a South Dakota pedestrian accident is on a sidewalk or in a crosswalk, the driver who strikes the individual is considered to be the one who is at fault. It is the driver's negligence, not that of the pedestrian, that caused the wreck.
The personal injury laws in South Dakota give the victims of accidents with negligent drivers the right to recover damages after the fact. This financial compensation may cover your medical bills, costs of ongoing care, missed time at work, and even pain or emotional suffering.
The best way to learn more about your legal rights in these cases and to get advice on how to proceed with your individual claim is to schedule a free consultation with a South Dakota personal injury lawyer.
