South Dakota: Defining a Bite

If you have been bitten by a dog in South Dakota, you should try to identify the animal that bit you to determine if it was a stray. If it’s identified with an owner, obtain the information of the dog owner. After that you should seek medical attention. If the dog owner has insurance, a representative may contact you. During this phone call, you should ask for the name of the company, the address, phone number, claim number and amount of money available. After a dog bite, do not discuss payments or settlements, accept money, sign papers, discuss who was responsible, or have yourself be photographed or recorded. You can have a family member photograph your wounds as this might serve as evidence in a South Dakota dog bite lawsuit.
