North Dakota Personal Injury Laws Affecting Your Case
No-Fault Insurance
North Dakota is a no-fault state when it comes to car accidents. This means that regardless of who caused the accident, each driver’s own insurance company must first pay for medical expenses and other losses up to the policy limits.
No-fault insurance should streamline the claims process and avoid lengthy court battles over fault and liability. In North Dakota, drivers must carry minimum no-fault insurance coverage, including $25,000 per person for bodily injury, $50,000 per accident for bodily injury, and $25,000 for property damage.
No-fault insurance in North Dakota does not cover all damages, such as pain and suffering. However, drivers can still file a lawsuit to recover these damages under certain circumstances.
North Dakota drivers need to understand their insurance coverage and their legal rights in the event of a car accident. Our Bismarck personal injury attorneys can provide guidance and support throughout the often confusing claims process.
Deadline to File a Lawsuit
- Personal injuries. The statute of limitations for most personal injury claims, including car accidents and slip and falls, is six years from the injury.
- Medical malpractice. For medical malpractice claims, the statute of limitations is two years from the injury or the date you discovered or should have discovered the injury, but in no event more than six years from the alleged act or omission giving rise to the injury.
- Wrongful death. For wrongful death claims, the statute of limitations is two years from the death.
Exceptions may apply to these deadlines, so please call us today. Missing these deadlines can result in losing all the compensation you would otherwise deserve.
Fighting for Your Compensation in Bismarck
People pay insurance premiums so they can collect money after an accident. The problem is that an insurance company will often prioritize its profits over your well-being. Insurance adjusters might claim to protect your best interests, but in reality, they minimize settlement offers to save their company money.
As a result, insurance companies often exploit unrepresented claimants. For example, they may misinterpret things you say during recorded statements to reduce your settlement. They may offer a low amount to settle your claim—and financial stress might tempt you into accepting it—but later on you’ll discover a low settlement won't cover all of your losses.
Insurance companies don’t work for you. We work for you.
When speaking with insurance companies, remember they can use even casual conversations to deny or minimize your claim.
Decline to give a statement and let our Bismarck personal injury attorneys handle all communications. Our experienced attorneys know how to deal with insurance companies, and we can protect your rights throughout the process.
Furthermore, consult our Bismarck personal injury lawyers before accepting a settlement offer. Settling for too little money may result in you needing to cover the rest of your losses, even if you didn’t know the full value of your injuries when you agreed to the settlement.
Our attorneys can avoid this situation by evaluating your case and negotiating with the insurance company for you. Don’t let the insurance company take advantage of you - contact Nicolet Law Accident & Injury Lawyers today, and we’ll fight for the compensation you deserve.
