Offer Of Judgment Analyzer in South Dakota

Under South Dakota law, an offer of judgment must be served at least 10 days before trial begins. This deadline is set by SDCL § 15-6-68, which governs the timing and effect of such offers. The rule allows a party to serve a written offer to allow judgment on specified terms, with the opposing party then having 10 days to accept. If the offer is rejected and the final judgment is not more favorable than the offer, the offeree may be required to pay certain costs incurred after the offer was made. The statute provides detailed provisions on how these costs are calculated, including factors and exceptions. The official text at https://sdlegislature.gov/Statutes/15-6-68 contains the complete rule. Use the DocketMath offer of judgment analyzer to estimate how this rule applies to your specific case.
