Statute of Limitations
South Dakota has a 3-year statute of limitations for personal injury from truck accidents (SDCL § 15-2-14). Modified comparative fault with 51% bar. South Dakota's agricultural truck exemptions from FMCSA HOS requirements are common — but state negligence law applies fully. Claims against SDDOT or state entities require compliance with the South Dakota Tort Claims Act.
