1.     What geographical areas do your personal injury attorneys serve?

Our legal team represents clients across North Dakota, South Dakota, and Minnesota. We have extensive experience navigating the specific legal systems of these three states, providing expert counsel to individuals and families who have suffered as a result of accidents, medical malpractice, or other negligent acts.

2.     How does the firm define a “catastrophic injury”?

A catastrophic injury refers to severe, life-altering, or permanent damage that results in long-term physical or mental impairment. These cases—such as Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) – often require lifelong medical care and significantly impact a person’s ability to perform daily activities. Because these injuries affect families for decades, we provide a high level of expertise to ensure rightful compensation for long-term care.

3. What are the grounds for a medical malpractice claim?

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare professional fails to comply with established safety regulations, resulting in a preventable mistake that causes injury or death. Since thousands of people are affected by medical errors annually, our firm works to determine if a physician’s negligence violated the safety standards meant to protect you, helping you secure the justice you deserve.

4. How can a personal injury lawyer help a family after a wrongful death?

While no amount of compensation can relieve the pain of losing a loved one, our compassionate attorneys help alleviate the resulting financial burden. We fight to secure compensation for the family’s loss and seek justice for the deceased, handling the “challenging and arduous” legal process so the family can focus on healing.

5. What is the cost to have the firm evaluate if you have a good Personal Injury case?

There is NO CHARGE for us to review and evaluate if we think you have a good case. We understand the legal and insurance challenges that you may be facing. Please contact us for a no-cost initial consultation.
6. How much does the firm charge for an average Personal Injury case?

Our firm does not charge an hourly rate, a retainer fee, or require money up front for our work on a Personal Injury case. We will be compensated if we are successful in securing a financial settlement on your behalf – so no recovery means no fee.

7. If I’ve been in an accident, when should I call an attorney?

The sooner you call, the sooner you will know your rights. As importantly, make sure you gather and preserve evidence such as videos, photos, and witness statements. If you wait to try to gather that evidence, it may be difficult to support your case or your damages. We will help you navigate the legal processes and deal with insurance companies. You need to focus on healing from your injuries while we take care of helping you address the economic challenges you may have in the future.

8. How long will it take to settle a personal injury case?

It’s difficult to forecast an average settlement time in personal injury cases. There are so many unique variables that our best suggestion is to provide us with all the details so we can evaluate whether you have a strong case. Once we’ve gone through that process, we will be able to discuss timelines.

9. Do I need an attorney to settle a car crash case?

If you are injured in a vehicle crash, it is important to have an experienced attorney on your side. It is common for insurance companies to offer settlements without putting up a fight. Accepting that first offer is usually a bad idea. Once the insurance company has paid a settlement, there is no going back for more if issues arise in the future. We will help you forecast all of your crash-related losses, such as current and future potential medical costs, loss of income during your recovery, and even non-economic losses like pain and suffering – before you settle with an insurance company.

10. What are Economic Damages for personal injuries?

Immediately following an injury, there are many things to think about. Many of them end up being money issues that most people don’t think about. Our job is to help them forecast current medical costs along with potential future rehabilitation expenses, loss of income while you recover, and various other expenses that you will incur as a result of the accident – things you likely won’t think about until you start getting the bills.
