Statute of Limitations in North Dakota

Insight from Our Fargo Personal Injury Law Firm

After you have suffered an injury, it is most important to seek medical attention right away. As you recover, whether it be months or years after the incident, you may wish to pursue justice for the circumstances of your injury. For every personal injury claim, the law has dictated a prescribed amount of time within which you are required to file your claim.

Personal Injury Statute of Limitation in North Dakota

The statute of limitations on personal injury claims in North Dakota can range from one to six years, depending on the type of injury. If you fail to file your claim within 6 years of the incident, then you will no longer be able to pursue compensation for your loss.
