How a North Dakota injury claim works, from deadline to damages
The six-year statute of limitations, the 50 percent bar, several liability, damages and their limits, no-fault auto rules and claims against the state.
ABOUT THIS BOOK
After a crash, a fall or another injury, the bills and questions arrive before the answers do. How long is there to file, and what happens if both sides share some of the blame?
The North Dakota Personal Injury Guide explains the general six-year statute of limitations in § 28-01-16 and the shorter deadlines for wrongful death, malpractice, intentional torts and claims against the state, along with the rules that pause the clock. It explains modified comparative fault under § 32-03.2-02, including the 50 percent bar, and why North Dakota uses several liability so that each defendant generally pays only its own share.
The guide covers economic and noneconomic damages, the cap on exemplary damages of the greater of $250,000 or twice compensatory damages, North Dakota's no-fault auto insurance benefits and serious-injury threshold, and notice rules for claims against the state.
Step-by-step chapters follow a claim from two sides: the injured person and the defendant or insurer. Checklists, comparison tables, a sample notice of claim letter and a glossary complete the Toolkit. Legal information, not legal advice.
