Crash Statistics In Ward County, North Dakota

Ward County accounts for a meaningful share of the state’s traffic injuries. These 2024 figures come from the North Dakota Department of Transportation: 

Statewide, 48% of traffic deaths involved someone unbelted and speeding contributed to a third of fatal crashes. Insurers raise those findings when arguing fault. 

Standing Up For Injury Victims In Minot And Throughout Ward County

We also represent injured people in Berthold, Kenmare, Surrey, Burlington, Des Lacs, Sawyer, Ryder, Makoti, Carpio, Douglas and Donnybrook, along with clients across North Dakota.

Injuries in a county this size can happen well outside city limits. Rollover crashes on rural highways, equipment injuries at worksites miles from town, falls at small-town businesses and collisions with farm machinery follow different investigative paths, and the evidence often has to be gathered quickly.

How Long Do I Have To File A Personal Injury Claim In North Dakota?

North Dakota law establishes specific time limits for filing personal injury claims, known as statutes of limitations. Generally, you have six years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit in North Dakota courts. However, certain circumstances can affect this timeline, including cases involving government entities, medical malpractice claims or wrongful death situations.

We strongly recommend consulting with our team as soon as possible after your incident to ensure you do not miss critical deadlines that could jeopardize your right to seek compensation.

Where Are Personal Injury Lawsuits Filed In Minot?

Personal injury lawsuits arising in Minot are filed in Ward County District Court at the Ward County Courthouse, 315 3rd Street Southeast. Ward County sits in the North Central Judicial District, which also covers Burke and Mountrail counties.

Filing a suit does not mean you are headed for a jury trial. Many claims resolve through negotiation or mediation, and many clients never testify. What matters is that the other side knows your legal team is prepared to try the case.

Why Do Minot Personal Injury Victims Hire Reichert Law Office? 

People generally come to us for a lawyer who is comfortable in front of a jury, not only at a settlement conference. Insurance carriers track which firms actually try cases, and that reputation shapes settlement discussions. Here is what our clients are hiring:

• Super Lawyers selection: Alexander Reichert has been selected for inclusion in North Dakota Super Lawyers annually for more than 15 years, and Amanda Corey has also been selected for inclusion. Selection combines peer nomination, independent research and evaluation by other attorneys, and attorney Reichert’s extensive years of trial practice  and attorney Corey’s work on serious injury claims are detailed on their individual pages.
• Rising Stars selection: Attorney Challis Williams has been selected for inclusion in the Rising Stars list, a designation limited to attorneys under 40 or in their first decade of practice. His courtroom background and case focus shows the trial work behind that selection.
• Decades handling injury claims: Attorney Reichert has more than 25 years of practice, which matters most when an insurer disputes causation or blames a preexisting condition for your symptoms. His extensive courtroom background includes arguing before the U.S. Supreme Court and trying a federal death penalty case.
• Tailored legal strategy: Disputed liability, an uninsured driver and a third-party worksite defendant each call for a different plan, and we tell you what ours is before we start.

Ultimately, our approach ensures that every client receives personalized attention and a robust legal strategy aimed at securing the compensation they deserve.
