South Dakota MVA leads: liability claims and the slight negligence test
South Dakota injury claims are aimed at the driver who caused the crash. The Division of Insurance describes bodily injury liability as coverage that protects a policyholder "against a claim which is made by someone who has been injured in an auto accident for which you are liable." It also states that "uninsured motorist coverage is required for all policies," paying the insured, resident family members and occupants for injuries caused by an uninsured motorist or a hit and run driver. For a lead, that means two questions matter early: who was at fault, and whether the other driver had insurance at all.
The negligence rule sits in SDCL 20-9-2. A plaintiff's contributory negligence "does not bar a recovery when the contributory negligence of the plaintiff was slight in comparison with the negligence of the defendant," and damages are then reduced in proportion to the plaintiff's share. The statute sets no percentage, and it directs that the question of whether the plaintiff's negligence was slight be decided without disclosing any percentage of fault by special interrogatory. A claimant who carries more than a slight share of the blame can lose the claim outright, so clean liability facts (a rear-end impact, a citation issued to the other driver, an independent witness) weigh heavily on a South Dakota MVA leadMVA leadA motor vehicle accident lead: a person injured in a car, motorcycle, commercial vehicle or rideshare accident who is looking for legal help. Glossary.
Time limits come from SDCL 15-2-14, which lists "an action for personal injury" among the civil actions that "can be commenced only within three years after the cause of action shall have accrued." Buyers usually cap accident age well inside that period so their law firm clients can collect records, talk to the insurer and still file on time.
Sub-types, filters and the quality bar are on the MVA leads and car accident leads pages.

South Dakota home improvement leads: 1980 housing and in-home sales
Owner-occupied housing units make up 68.6% of occupied units in South Dakota for 2020-2024, and the median year structure built is 1980. A homeowner signs the contract for a roof, siding and gutters, windows, a bathroom renovation or new flooring, so homeowner status is a standard filterFilterA rule that decides which leads a buyer is offered, based on fields such as vertical, sub-type, state, ZIP code, homeownership or accident details. Glossary, and a housing stock with a 1980 median gives roofing and window buyers a steady base of homes due for replacement.
At the state level, the South Dakota Department of Revenue requires a contractor's excise tax license of "any person entering into a contract for construction services," which it describes as construction, building, installation, repair or remodeling of real property, and says a contractor "must be licensed before starting work in South Dakota." For in-home sales, SDCL 37-24-5.3 makes it a deceptive act for a door to door seller to leave out the written notice that the buyer may cancel before midnight of the third business day after the transaction, or to fail to tell the buyer about that right orally. Contractor clients who close jobs at the kitchen table plan around that three-day window.
Project types and filters are listed on the home improvement leads and roofing leads pages. To compare suppliers on the same basis, work out your cost per lead; the lead generation guide explains how the rest of the industry fits together.

What happens if a South Dakota claimant was partly at fault?
Under SDCL 20-9-2, contributory negligence does not bar recovery when it was slight in comparison with the defendant's negligence, and damages are reduced in proportion. Negligence that is more than slight can bar the claim.
