In situations like these, victims may be warranted in bringing claims for full and fair compensation under South Dakota law. The at-fault driver’s conduct may qualify as felonious and warrant punitive damages, allowing a full and fair verdict and judgement against those responsible for the victims’ injuries and damages.
South Dakota law requires motor vehicle drivers to carry liability insurance to pay for damages in the event of disasters like we are seeking this week. For victims of these horrific accidents, it is important to act quickly and secure the right team to make sure evidence is preserved so the responsible parties cannot destroy or alter evidence.
