How Much Will I Have to Pay for a Williston Advocate?

The worst part of personal injury for our clients is often the financial strain. Medical care and repairing damaged property are expensive. We are aware of this, which is why there are no sign-up fees for working with The Advocates. All our work is done on a contingency fee basis, meaning our legal team only gets paid if we win your case.

Our fees are calculated as a percentage of your settlement. This will be decided between you and the lawyers prior to The Advocates taking on your case.

How Do I Know I Have a Personal Injury Case in Williston?

North Dakota is a no-fault state. After an accident, your insurance — specifically personal injury protection (PIP) — will cover your medical bills and other expenses from the accident. Your policy covers up to $30,000 for medical expenses, lost income, and other economic losses. It does not cover damage like pain and suffering. 

To pursue a lawsuit against the at-fault party, your injuries must require medical expenses over $2,500 and result in severe and permanent disfigurement or disability lasting more than 60 days.

Determining fault is a complicated process, and experienced personal injury lawyers can help you navigate these complicated laws. Before even getting on the road, you must have insurance. Driving without it is a misdemeanor, and it will be hard to pursue a claim if you do not have it.

Do All Cases Go to Trial?

Every case is different. Some go to trial while others are settled out of court. We cannot say with certainty which way your case will go. It depends on various factors such as the severity of your injuries, the level of your liability, and the strength of evidence undergirding your claim.

More serious injuries with more consequential impacts will likely result in higher settlements but may also need to go to trial. Also, a trial might be necessary if there are several parties involved and the evidence is complex.

Nothing can ever be promised in law. But when you sign with us, you have our guarantee that we will craft the best case possible for you.

What Type of Damages Can I Sue for in a Williston Claim?

It does not matter if you have catastrophic injuries or mild back pain, after an accident you may be entitled to compensation for:

  • Medical expenses
  • Lost income and potential future earnings
  • Emotional trauma
  • Funeral costs

Please understand that a personal injury claim is not a get-rich-quick scheme. Compensation is usually an amount that gets you to where you would have been financially had you not been hurt. However, brain injuries and other serious damage will often lead to higher payouts.

How Long Do I Have to File a Lawsuit?

The statute of limitations for filing a personal injury lawsuit is generally six years in North Dakota. That may seem like a long time, but before you know it, that time has passed, and you can no longer file a claim.

That is why we recommend filing a lawsuit as close to the accident date as you can. The aftermath of an accident is overwhelming, but taking prompt action ensures your rights are protected, and your path to recovery begins sooner.
