Q: In South Dakota my minor child was pedestrian hit by car the driver was at fault I filled a 3rd party claim the at fault
A: A South Dakata attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. I'm sorry about your child's accident. It sounds like you proceeded correctly with the at-fault driver. Your question leaves off there - it's possible that part of your post got cut off. It sounds like you may be inclined to try to handle this matter on your own, given your mentioning that you filed a claim. Good luck if that's the case. If you are interested in learning more about an attorney handling the matter, you could reach out to attorneys in your state to try to arrange a free initial, no-obligation consult. That's a normal courtesy in the industry nationwide. Whatever type of healthcare coverage you have (depending on South Dakota no-fault doctrine/and your policy), stay on top of any medical bills in your mailbox. They can pile up quickly after an accident and they usually require prompt attention. I hope your child is okay. Good luck
