Common questions
Is this a law firm?
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.
What does a case review cost?
Requesting a case review through this website is free. A participating law firm will explain any fees during your consultation.
What are the deadlines for a North Dakota work injury claim?
Tell your employer about the injury within seven days, and get a claim filed with Workforce Safety & Insurance (WSI) within one year of the injury — two years when a worker has died. Waiting is the single most common way injured workers lose benefits. This is general information, not legal advice; a participating North Dakota law firm can walk you through the deadlines that apply to you.
WSI denied my claim — is that final?
Not necessarily. WSI decisions come with a short window to ask for reconsideration, and disputed claims can go before an administrative law judge and, after that, to district court. Each step has its own strict deadline, and missing one usually ends the claim. A participating North Dakota law firm can look at the denial and explain what can still be done.
