In North Dakota, the general statute of limitations for personal injury is six years from the date of the accident (N.D. Cent. Code § 28-01-16). However, if your claim involves a government entity in Bismarck or a medical malpractice case, the deadline is much shorter (often 2-3 years). It is critical to act quickly to preserve evidence like traffic camera footage or witness statements.
Yes. North Dakota follows a modified comparative fault rule (the “50% Bar”). You can recover damages as long as your fault is not greater than the fault of the other parties combined. For example, if you are 20% at fault for a collision on State Street, your total compensation will be reduced by 20%. If you are 51% or more at fault, you cannot recover any damages.
North Dakota is a no-fault insurance state. This means your own insurance policy’s Personal Injury Protection (PIP) usually pays for your immediate medical bills and lost wages, regardless of who caused the accident. However, if your medical expenses exceed $2,500 or you suffer a “serious injury” (such as a fracture or permanent disfigurement), you have the right to step outside the no-fault system and sue the negligent driver for additional damages.
We work on a contingency fee basis. This means there are no upfront costs or hourly fees. We only get paid if we successfully recover a settlement or jury verdict for you. Our fee is a pre-agreed percentage of that final amount, allowing you to focus on your recovery without financial stress.

To make things easier on our clients, we offer contingency fee agreements at Maring Williams Law Office. When working on a case for contingency fees, we cover all costs upfront, like court costs and the price to hire expert witnesses. You are only expected to pay those costs and our attorney fees if we end your claim with a successful settlement or award paid to you. Furthermore, in some cases, it is possible for the defending party to pay our attorney fees as part of the case’s conclusion, meaning you would be obligated to pay us even less.
Combined with our free case evaluations, our contingency fees make getting reliable legal counsel in North Dakota easier than ever. You never need to worry about reaching for your wallet just to talk with us and get your case started. You only need to reach for the phone and dial 1-701-224-0430 to speak with our Bismarck personal injury lawyers.
