How South Dakota law treats explosion injuries

Statutory research reviewed 2026-08-14. Not legal advice.

Shared fault
South Dakota uses a standard found nowhere else: recovery is allowed only where the injured person's negligence was 'slight' compared with the defendant's. It is not a fixed 50% or 51% threshold, and outcomes turn on the comparison rather than on a percentage.
S.D. Codified Laws § 20-9-2
Damage caps
South Dakota places no cap on damages in ordinary injury cases; its $500,000 cap reaches only medical-malpractice claims.
S.D. Codified Laws § 21-3-11
Claims against government
South Dakota requires written notice of the time, place, and cause of the injury within 180 days, or the claim is barred.
S.D. Codified Laws § 3-21-2
