  • Pain and suffering

But our attorneys navigate this system every day. We know what it takes to secure the maximum compensation you are owed, and we are ready to advocate tirelessly for you. Our team offers compassionate legal guidance and personalized counsel that’s tailored to your unique situation. We know that moving forward from a devastating motorcycle crash can be difficult; let our firm help make the process easier.

Liability in South Dakota Motorcycle Accident Claims

Motorist in a Rearview Mirror - Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

As previously mentioned, South Dakota follows a unique comparative negligence rule known as “slight-gross negligence.” Typically, in comparative negligence states, injured motorcyclists (and other motorists) are able to recover compensation after an accident even if they were partially at fault for the collision. In some states, injured individuals can recover compensation even if they were mostly at fault; in other states, their degree of fault must be less than 50% for them to be permitted to file a claim and recover damages. In either case, the injured person’s total recovery will be reduced by their at-fault percentage.

However, under South Dakota’s slight-gross negligence rule, an injured motorcyclist can still recover compensation if they were partially at fault for the accident—as long as their fault was “slight.” In contrast, the fault of the other driver must be “gross,” or great. The attribute of “slight” negligence is highly subjective and open to interpretation. An insurance company may argue that you were more than slightly at fault for an accident even when their driver clearly caused the collision.

For this reason, it’s important that you work with a motorcycle accident attorney who is experienced in South Dakota’s unique slight-gross negligence laws. At Lowe Law Group, we not only have a history of success in these types of cases, but we also are committed to helping you clearly understand the process and all of your available options.

Common Motorcycle Accident Injuries

In addition to South Dakota’s complex comparative negligence laws, another factor that makes motorcycle accident claims fairly complicated is the severity of most motorcycle accident injuries. Because motorcyclists are relatively unprotected in the event of a collision, they tend to sustain very serious, catastrophic injuries.

Some of the most common motorcycle accident injuries that can result in long-term complications and costs include:

  • Serious cuts, scrapes, and abrasions
  • Road rash (also known as friction burns)
  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Broken bones/fractures
  • Head and neck injuries
  • Back and shoulder injuries
  • Injuries to the feet and ankles
  • Accidental amputation
  • Internal organ damage
  • Soft tissue damage

When determining the total extent of your damages, our attorneys carefully weigh the nature and impact of your injuries, including how they will affect your life going forward. This allows us to obtain a clear picture of your future damages and, in turn, advocate for compensation for your lifetime expenses.
