Motorcycle crashes are some of the most serious accidents on North Dakota roads. In 2024, there were 225 vehicle accidents involving motorcycles in the state, according to NDDOT’s Vision Zero program. That means that every two days, a motorcyclist is involved in a crash. What’s worse is that a staggering 86% of those crashes resulted in injury or death.
Without the protection of a vehicle, even a low-speed collision can lead to life-changing injuries.
At Lowe Law Group, we understand this firsthand. Many of our attorneys ride, and we’ve helped injured motorcyclists across Bismarck and North Dakota recover physically, financially, and legally after devastating crashes.
In Bismarck, these accidents are often caused by:

If you were hurt in a motorcycle accident, our attorneys are ready to fight for the compensation you deserve.
Motorcyclists are significantly more likely to be injured or killed in a crash compared to occupants of passenger vehicles because they lack the protection of a vehicle frame, airbags, or seatbelts.
These serious injuries can affect your ability to work, care for your family, and live your daily life.
Head injuries are among the most serious outcomes of a motorcycle crash. Even with a helmet, riders can suffer concussions or long-term brain trauma that affects memory, concentration, and personality.
Damage to the spine can lead to chronic pain, limited mobility, or permanent disability. These injuries often require long-term treatment and can dramatically change your quality of life.
Motorcycle crashes frequently result in fractures to the arms, legs, shoulders, and hips. These injuries may require surgery, physical therapy, and extended recovery time.
When a rider is thrown from a motorcycle, the body can slide across the pavement, causing severe skin and muscle damage. In serious cases, road rash can lead to infection, scarring, or nerve damage.
Blunt-force trauma can cause internal bleeding or organ damage that isn’t always immediately visible. These injuries can be life-threatening without prompt medical care.
Motorcycle injuries are often complex and long-term, not just short-term medical issues. That’s why documenting the full impact of your injuries, from immediate treatment to long-term consequences, is critical when pursuing compensation.
At Lowe Law Group, we work with medical professionals to understand exactly how your injuries affect your life today and how they will affect your future.
Your case isn’t just about what happened on the road; it’s about what it will take to rebuild your life.
Because motorcycle crashes often result in more severe injuries, these claims frequently involve multiple categories of damages that must be carefully documented and proven.
In North Dakota, you may be entitled to recover compensation for:
The key is not just identifying these categories, but proving their full value. Lowe Law Group can evaluate your case, work with medical and financial experts, and ensure every category of compensation is properly documented and pursued.
After a motorcycle accident in Bismarck, the insurance adjuster may sound helpful. But their goal is to reduce what they pay you.
In motorcycle claims, insurers often rely on built-in bias and proven tactics to minimize payouts. These assumptions can influence how insurance companies evaluate fault and injuries, sometimes leading to lower settlement offers or disputed claims.
They may:
Our team has seen these tactics across North Dakota. That’s why working with a Bismarck motorcycle accident attorney early matters. We step in immediately to protect your rights, handle communication with insurers, and build a case that reflects the true impact of your injuries.
If your injuries happened in a different type of crash, like being hit while walking or cycling, our team can also help. Our Bismarck personal injury lawyers can evaluate your situation and guide you toward the next right step.
The value of a motorcycle accident claim depends on how the crash affected your life, both now and in the future.
Motorcycle injuries are often severe, with claims that involve significant medical costs, lost income, and long-term impacts that must be fully accounted for.
No two cases are the same, but most motorcycle accident claims in North Dakota are based on:
The only way to know what your claim is truly worth is to evaluate the details of your accident, your injuries, and your long-term needs.
We offer free case evaluations to help you understand your options, what your case may be worth, and what steps to take next.
You don’t have to guess. We’ll walk you through it.
Motorcycle accident claims are high-stakes and often undervalued without the right evidence. Data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) shows that motorcycle crashes are far more likely to result in severe or fatal injuries than other vehicle accidents, which means the financial impact of these cases is often significant.
But insurance companies don’t account for that reality. They rely on incomplete records, rushed evaluations, and early settlement pressure.
We take a different approach, designed to prove the full value of our case from day one.
Our in-house doctor and medical team evaluate your injuries in detail. They go beyond what shows up in initial records, checking how those injuries will affect your long-term health, work, and daily life. This is critical in North Dakota, where advanced care often requires travel to Fargo or Minneapolis.
We bring in forensic experts who understand motorcycle physics and North Dakota road conditions to reconstruct exactly what happened. This level of detail is especially crucial for accidents on rural highways, where evidence may be limited.
You'll never feel abandoned by our team and always know where you stand. We provide transparent, responsive communication that respects your recovery timeline and lets you make informed decisions without added stress.
Most firms cave when insurers push back. We don't. Our Bismarck attorneys prepare your case as if it’s going to trial. Insurance companies know our reputation, which is why they often settle for maximum amounts on our terms before needing to go to court.
We help injured riders throughout the Bismarck-Mandan metro area and across south-central North Dakota.
Whether your accident happened in downtown Bismarck near the Cathedral District, on the Bismarck Expressway, or on rural highways leading to communities like Lincoln or Sterling, we understand the risks that shape motorcycle accidents in this region.
Motorcycle crashes here aren’t just serious, they’re often complicated by distance from medical care and limited evidence on rural roads. We apply that local context when building your case, but insurance companies overlook it.
If someone else’s negligence disrupted your life, you deserve a team that understands both the freedom of riding in North Dakota and the reality of what you’re facing now. We’re available 24/7 to step in, protect your rights, and start moving your case forward immediately.
NDDOT’s Vision Zero road safety program recorded 89 traffic fatalities in 2024, including motorcyclists who remain especially vulnerable on rural roads.
Understanding your legal rights as a North Dakota motorcyclist is crucial:
Personal injury claims in North Dakota must generally be filed within six years of the accident date under N.D.C.C § 28-01-16(5). However, acting quickly strengthens your case significantly, as delayed action gives insurance companies ammunition to question injury severity.
North Dakota follows comparative fault principles under N.D.C.C. § 32-03.2-02, so your compensation could be reduced by your percentage of fault for the accident. Insurance companies often use this rule to shift blame onto motorcyclists, which is why strong legal representation from a motorcycle accident law firm in Bismarck is essential.
We choose to fight for Bismarck riders during their most vulnerable moments. Helping you recover physically, emotionally, and financially isn’t just our profession. It’s our calling.
We back our commitment with a 30-day no-strings-attached guarantee. For the first 30 days after hiring us, you maintain the absolute right to cancel without any payment responsibility.

Across North Dakota, motorcycle crashes range from multi-vehicle collisions to single-rider incidents, many of which result in serious injury. At Lowe Law Group, we handle the full spectrum of motorcycle accident cases in Bismarck and throughout central North Dakota.
Intersections are one of the most common locations for serious motorcycle crashes. These cases often involve a driver turning into a rider’s path, leading to high-impact collisions with severe injuries. We investigate right-of-way, visibility, and timing to establish fault clearly.
Motorcycles are smaller and easier to miss, especially when drivers fail to check blind spots before merging or changing lanes. These crashes often happen on roads like Bismarck Expressway and require detailed evidence to prove what the driver should have seen.
Even at lower speeds, a rear-end collision can throw a rider from their bike. These cases often involve distracted driving and require careful documentation of both the crash and the resulting injuries.
Not every crash involves another driver. Some accidents are caused by road hazards, debris, or unsafe roadway conditions. This is particularly problematic on rural highways outside Bismarck. These cases may involve claims against government entities or third parties responsible for road maintenance.
Motorcycle accidents on highways often result in more severe injuries due to higher speeds and delayed emergency response times. We build these cases with a focus on long-term medical impact and future care needs.
No matter how your accident happened, every case comes down to three things:
A Bismarck motorcycle crash lawyer at Lowe Law Group can evaluate your case, explain your options, and take immediate action to protect your claim.
Motorcycle accident settlements vary widely. The amount usually depends on injury severity, medical treatment, missed work, long term limitations, insurance coverage, and fault. Claims involving serious injuries, surgery, or permanent impairment are generally worth more than minor injury cases. A lawyer can estimate value based on your specific damages.
After a motorcycle accident, do not leave the scene, admit fault, delay medical care, or give a recorded statement to an insurer without advice. Avoid posting about the crash on social media and do not ignore follow up treatment. Preserving evidence and getting legal guidance early can protect your claim.
Motorcycle accident compensation depends on the seriousness of your injuries, medical costs, lost income, pain and suffering, and long term effects on your life and work. Cases involving surgery, disability, or permanent injury are often worth more. A lawyer can help estimate the value of your specific claim.
