Injured in a Car Accident in North Dakota?

No. ND Legal Help is a legal advertising website, not a law firm, and it does not give legal advice. When you submit a request, your inquiry may be shared with a participating North Dakota law firm for review.

Requesting a case review through this website is free. A participating law firm will explain any fees during your consultation.

North Dakota's general deadline for personal injury lawsuits is six years — unusually long — but it is full of exceptions: wrongful death claims must be brought within two years of the death, claims against the state require written notice within 180 days, and no-fault insurance rules add their own timelines after a crash. This is general information, not legal advice; a participating North Dakota law firm can tell you which clocks apply to your situation.

Sometimes, yes. No-fault benefits handle certain basic losses regardless of blame, but North Dakota law allows a liability claim when an injury is 'serious' as the statute defines it — for example, death, dismemberment, serious and permanent disfigurement, or disability lasting beyond sixty days, among other triggers. A participating law firm can review whether your injuries clear that bar.
