North Dakota Personal Injury Statute of Limitations
North Dakota uses a six-year statute of limitations on most personal injury claims. This statute is shortened to just two years for wrongful death claims. It typically begins on the date of the injury, accident, or death.
Any claims brought after the expiration of the statute of limitations can be easily challenged or dismissed outright. Only in the rarest of situations can a claim be recognized after the statute of limitations expires. Do not expect your case to be one of these rare few. Assume that the statute of limitations is an unmovable deadline for your claim, so start building it today with our help.

Grand Forks, ND Personal Injury FAQ
Can you file a claim if you caused the accident?
Under North Dakota’s comparative fault rule, you can’t be 50% liable or greater for an accident and still make a recovery against the at-fault party. If you’re liability is determined to be 49% or less, however, you have a case. In this way, you can file a claim if you contributed to an accident, but likely not if you know that you caused it. To be sure, always check with a personal injury lawyer for questions about liability.
Will my personal injury claim settle?
Many personal injury cases will settle rather than go to court. There is no guarantee that a case will settle, though. Some do go to trial. You should prepare your claim with a personal injury team that knows how to handle a case in and out of court.
Can my personal injury settlement be taxed?
Generally, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) does not apply a blanket tax to personal injury settlements because it is not a form of income. It is because you received money for damages you have already suffered or as compensation for your pain and trauma. For more details about this topic, we advise that you speak to a dedicated tax attorney.
