North Dakota Personal Injury Lawyer

An injury caused because of the negligence of another person does not just leave you with significant physical pain. You may also struggle with medical bills that seem to keep climbing higher, lost income related to your accident, and emotional challenges. When someone else causes your accident, you may have the right to compensation for your injuries.

However, many accident victims find it difficult to navigate the claim process, including dealing with the liable party's insurance company as they fight to receive reasonable compensation and justice for their losses.

At Nicolet Law Accident & Injury Lawyers, we understand the difficulties often accompanying accident claims. Contact a North Dakota personal injury lawyer to learn how we can help you recover compensation after a North Dakota accident.

Common North Dakota Personal Injury Claims

You may have grounds to file a personal injury claim if another party’s negligent or reckless actions cause you injury.

Generally, an attorney will ask several questions before proceeding with an injury claim.

• Who bore a duty of care to you at the time of the accident? A duty of care includes any duty to help protect you from suffering harm. For example, an employer may bear a high duty of care to its employees.
• How did the liable party violate that duty of care? A driver, for example, might violate the duty of care by taking his attention away from the road while driving.
• Did the accident occur because the other party violated the duty of care? If the other party failed to take proper care of others around him, but it did not result in an accident, that party might not bear liability for the accident. On the other hand, if the other party's duty of care violation contributed directly to the accident, that party might bear liability for the damages they caused.
• Did you suffer injuries because of the incident? If you did not suffer injuries in the incident, even if you may have had the potential to sustain significant injuries, you likely would not have the right to file an injury claim.

North Dakota sees many common injury claims.

Car Accident Claims

Car accidents often top the list of injury claims across North Dakota. Every year, 14,000 to 18,000 car crashes occur in North Dakota. An estimated 4,000-5,000 people sustain injuries in those crashes. Car accidents can occur for various reasons, including driver distraction or inebriation or a driver failing to follow the rules of the road, including speeding or engaging in reckless driving behaviors.

Truck Accident Claims

Each year, North Dakota sees around 136 fatal truck accidents. Big trucks commonly move through North Dakota, making them a familiar sight on the roads. Those trucks are vital in delivering goods, from groceries to recreational items, nationwide. However, many people can end up seriously injured due to North Dakota truck crashes due to the large size of the truck and the greater difficulty the driver may have in avoiding a potential accident.

Motorcycle Accident Claims

Biking across North Dakota offers a great deal of convenience and freedom. North Dakota law only requires drivers and passengers under 18, or passengers on a motorcycle driven by someone under 18, to wear a motorcycle helmet when they take to the road. However, failure to wear a motorcycle helmet can substantially increase the risk of a devastating injury in a motorcycle crash, significantly raising the risk of traumatic brain injury.

Dog Bite Claims

North Dakota law allows dog bite victims to pursue a claim if the dog owner had reason to know that the dog had a history of vicious behavior but failed to properly restrain the dog. Dog bites can cause significant complications and pain, making it necessary for many victims to pursue compensation for the damages associated with those injuries.

Product Liability Claims

When you buy a product, you expect it to perform as intended without substantial complications. Defective products, including products with unsafe manufacturing practices, can lead to significant injury for the users. If you suffer injuries due to a defective product incident, you may need a lawyer to help you learn how you can best pursue compensation for those losses.

Compensation After an Accident in North Dakota

If you need to file an injury claim after an accident in North Dakota, you may have many questions, including how much compensation you should reasonably expect after your accident. At Nicolet Law Accident & Injury Lawyers, we cannot guarantee the compensation you will recover.

Still, we can help you determine what compensation elements you should include in your claim and how you can best increase the odds that you will recover all the damages you need and deserve.

• Compensation for lost income as your injuries prevented you from working.
• Compensation for your pain and suffering.

Fighting the Insurance Company After an Accident in North Dakota

Most of the time, when you need to file an injury claim, you will not end up dealing with the liable party directly. You will often find yourself negotiating with the liable party’s insurance company. The insurance company may not make the claim process as easy as you might otherwise hope. Instead, the insurance company may fight to get you to reduce the compensation you will accept.

The insurance company may:

• Pressure you to accept a low settlement offer. That settlement offer will often not reflect the damages you sustained because of the accident.
• Insist that you did not really suffer the injuries you claimed during the accident.
• Deny liability for the accident, or pressure you to accept liability for the incident.
• Insist that you have limited your recovery in a way that should reduce the amount the company has to pay out.

Fighting the insurance company after a North Dakota accident frustrates many people. By working with Nicolet Law Accident & Injury Lawyers, however, you can get the experience and support you need to take on the insurance company with confidence.
