Motorcycles bring a sense of freedom and adventure that is hard to match, which is why thousands of people every year choose to ride them.
However, there is a cost to this thrill: Motorcyclists are exposed to serious risks every time they go for a ride, including other careless and inattentive drivers.

North Dakota has a mandatory helmet law for all motorcyclists. This law is designed to protect riders from serious head injuries in the event of an accident. Wearing a helmet is not just a legal requirement but a crucial safety measure.
North Dakota requires all motorcyclists to carry liability insurance. This insurance must cover damages or injuries caused to others in an accident. Although personal injury protection (PIP) is not required, having additional coverage can offer extra protection in case of severe injuries.
To legally operate a motorcycle in North Dakota, riders must obtain a motorcycle endorsement on their driver’s license. This endorsement is obtained by passing both a written and practical test, ensuring that the rider has the necessary skills and knowledge to operate a motorcycle safely.
Lane splitting, or riding between lanes of slow-moving traffic, is illegal in North Dakota.

In North Dakota, only riders under the age of 18 are legally required to wear a helmet. However, even if you weren’t wearing a helmet as an adult, you can still pursue a personal injury claim. Insurance companies often try to use the “no-helmet” defense to reduce your compensation; our lawyers are experienced in countering these arguments.
Generally, North Dakota has a six-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims. While this seems like a long time, evidence like skid marks and witness memories fades quickly. If the accident resulted in a wrongful death, the limit is typically only two years from the date of death.
Yes. North Dakota follows a modified comparative negligence rule. As long as you are less than 50% responsible for the accident, you can still recover damages. Your total payout will simply be reduced by your percentage of fault (e.g., if you are 20% at fault, you receive 80% of the award).
Many riders in Dickinson carry Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM) coverage. If the at-fault driver is uninsured, your own insurance policy may cover your medical bills and lost wages. We can review your policy to identify all available avenues for compensation.
Motorcycle cases often face “biker bias,” where juries or insurance adjusters unfairly assume the rider was being reckless. Additionally, because motorcycles lack the protection of a car frame, injuries like “road rash,” “biker’s arm,” and traumatic brain injuries (TBI) are more common and require higher settlements to cover lifetime care.
