What types of accident claims do you handle in Fargo?
Every type of accident case involves different legal and practical issues. At Larson Law Firm, P.C., our Fargo personal injury lawyers have the experience, skills, and resources to handle the following types of accident claims:
Vehicle accidents
Whether you’re driving on Interstate 29, Interstate 94, a state road, or our local avenues or streets, there’s always the chance of a vehicle accident. Our Fargo personal injury lawyers represent drivers, passengers, pedestrians, bicyclists, and families when anyone in Fargo is injured or killed due to a:
- Car accident. We handle all types of Fargo car accidents, including head-on crashes, broadsides, rear-end collisions, intersection accidents, construction accidents, Uber and Lyft accidents, single-vehicle accidents, and multi-vehicle accidents.

- Motorcycle accident. Motorcycle accidents are often deadly or cause serious injuries because a motorcycle provides little protection to the rider. We handle accidents caused by drivers who fail to respect motorcycles, drunk drivers, distracted drivers, tired drivers, and many other types of negligent drivers.

How do you work to show a defendant is liable for my injuries?
The strongest settlements and jury verdicts are obtained when each phase of your accident claim is handled completely, competently, and persuasively. Our Fargo personal injury lawyers are skilled at handling each phase of your case. These phases include:
- Investigating how the accident happened.
- Speaking with any eyewitnesses and the police.
- Conducting discovery, which consists of orally questioning the defendants and anyone with information about your accident, submitting written questions to the defendants, and reviewing any relevant physical evidence. Physical evidence may include videos, electronic log records, smartphone data, contracts, and other types of evidence.
- Working with professionals, including industry experts, engineers, product safety experts, traffic reconstruction professionals, building code officials, financial professionals, doctors, and other experts.
- Reviewing the relevant federal, state, and local laws.
- Preparing a formal demand letter.
- Negotiating with the insurance companies.
- Trying your case before a local jury.
In many cases, we file claims against more than one defendant.
How much is my personal injury claim worth in Fargo?
Our Fargo personal injury lawyers prepare demand letters after the investigation and discovery phases of your case are complete. We demand compensation for all the financial and economic damages that North Dakota law permits. Accident victims are entitled to claim compensation for all their current and future damages, including:
- Medical expenses, including the cost of emergency transport, ER care, hospitalizations, surgeries, doctor visits, rehabilitative care, medications, and assistive devices
- Lost wages, income, and benefits including income loss due to a permanent disability
- Your daily physical pain and emotional suffering
- Loss of bodily function or consortium
- Scarring and disfigurement
- Property damage
We also file wrongful death claims if a loved one died due to the fault of others. Wrongful death damages include funeral and burial costs, the loss of financial support the decedent would have provided the family members, the mental and emotional anguish of the family members, the loss of companionship, society, and other damages.
How soon should I file my Fargo personal injury claim?
The statutes of limitation for personal injury claims vary depending on the type of accident claim you have.
- Personal injury actions (including accident and product liability claims) must be filed within six years from the date of the accident.
- Medical malpractice claims must be filed within two years from the date of the negligence. The time limit may be extended if the act or omission was not discoverable.
- Wrongful death claims must be filed within two years from the date the claim accrues, normally, the date of the accident. Some extensions may apply.
It is critical that you contact our office as soon as possible. Do not wait the full statute of limitations. The sooner we can investigate the accident site, speak with witnesses, and talk to your doctors, the stronger the case we can present.
