In South Dakota, the details matter: the long drive to a medical appointment, the strain a missed paycheck puts on a household, the way a serious injury can ripple through a family and a workplace. We built South Dakota Injuries to cover those realities with a clear sense of place and a close understanding of the communities affected by personal injuries, workplace accidents, and the difficult path of recovery. Our team comes from local newsrooms and investigative reporting, where we learned to follow complicated stories, ask better questions, and pay attention to the facts that others overlook. Writers including Wayne Hustead, Mary Crow Dog, Pete Baumgartner, and Janet Stensland bring different strengths to the work, but we share the same editorial instincts: be accurate, be fair, and never lose sight of the people at the center of the story. What sets our coverage apart is the way we connect practical information with strong reporting. We do more than summarize incidents or repeat official statements. We dig into how injuries happen, what recovery can involve, where systems break down, and which resources can actually help. Our goal is to make this site useful, readable, and grounded in real life, so that readers come away not only better informed, but better able to understand the challenges injury can bring in South Dakota.
