A hit-and-run accident can leave you injured, overwhelmed, and unsure who will pay for your medical bills. Expenses are mounting, you’re missing work, you’re in a great deal of pain, and insurance companies are only looking for ways to minimize your claim.
You need someone on your side to advocate for you.
With our team of lawyers, doctors, and forensic experts, Lowe Law Group helps Fargo hit-and-run victims pursue maximum compensation. Our goal isn’t solely getting you paid, however. We want to help you recover from this crash in every way we can. Our Fargo personal injury attorneys work to bring you peace of mind after a devastating accident.
North Dakota generally requires uninsured motorist (UM) coverage on all auto policies because hit-and-run crashes are, unfortunately, very common. Victims may not have an identifiable at-fault driver, so the UM coverage kicks in.
Our attorneys understand serious injuries personally, because several of us have lived through them ourselves. That’s why we approach every case with compassion, urgency, and relentless preparation; because we know what you’re going through.
If you were injured in a Fargo hit-and-run accident, don’t wait for the insurance company to take control of the situation. The sooner we can begin preserving evidence and protecting your claim, the stronger your case may be.
A hit-and-run happens when someone causes a crash and leaves instead of taking responsibility and helping the people affected. Hit-and-run accidents can involve other vehicles, pedestrians, bicyclists, motorcyclists, or unattended property.
Under North Dakota law, specifically, hit-and-run accidents are when a driver involved in a crash leaves the scene without stopping to provide information, help injured people, or report the accident when required by law. Drivers are legally required to stop after accidents involving injuries, death, or significant property damage.
The primary North Dakota hit-and-run statutes include:
North Dakota law also requires drivers to provide:
Even crashes involving only property damage require drivers to stop and remain at the scene.
A driver escaping from the scene of a crash doesn’t mean you cannot pursue compensation.
In many Fargo hit-and-run cases, victims may still recover damages through uninsured motorist (UM) coverage. Under North Dakota law, an unidentified hit-and-run driver can qualify as an uninsured motor vehicle in certain situations.
But proving a hit-and-run claim requires thorough evidence, such as:
At Lowe Law Group, we move quickly to preserve evidence and build claims that insurance companies cannot easily dismiss. Our multidisciplinary team includes lawyers, medical professionals, and forensic experts who work together to prove exactly what happened and show the full impact the crash has had on your life.
The steps you take immediately after a hit-and-run can protect both your health and your injury claim. You may be injured or in shock, but try to complete these steps as well as you’re able to.
Report the crash immediately and seek medical care as soon as possible, even if symptoms seem minor at first. Injuries like concussions, whiplash, and spinal trauma may not fully appear until hours or days later.
A police report can also help preserve critical evidence and support your uninsured motorist claim later.
If the other driver flees, do not follow them. Focus on staying safe and remembering as many details as possible about the vehicle.
Try to note:
If possible, move to a safe location away from traffic, especially on high-speed roads like I-94 or during Fargo winter conditions involving ice, snow, and low visibility.
Hit-and-run cases often depend on small pieces of evidence. If you can do so safely, collect:
This can be especially important near busy Fargo corridors like:
Notify your insurer promptly, but avoid:
Insurance companies may try to minimize injuries or dispute what happened before you understand the full extent of your damages.
Evidence can disappear quickly after a crash. Surveillance footage may be erased, witnesses become harder to locate, and insurers often begin building defenses immediately.
At Lowe Law Group, our lawyers, doctors, and forensic experts work together to investigate hit-and-run accidents, preserve evidence, and build strong claims designed to maximize compensation.
In most hit-and-run claims, your own insurance policy becomes the primary source of compensation.
When you’re involved in an auto accident where the other driver speeds away, you’re the one left with the consequences. You have medical bills to pay and you have to miss work because of your injuries.
Many people in this situation wonder how they can get compensated if they don’t even know the name of the person who crashed into them.
No-fault insurance systems like North Dakota’s mean that injured drivers typically turn to their own insurance first after a crash, regardless of who caused the accident. The state requires drivers to carry $30,000 in no-fault insurance (also known as Personal Injury Protection or PIP) coverage.
PIP benefits may help cover:
PIP coverage applies regardless of fault. So it can still help after a hit-and-run accident when the other driver disappears.
In many Fargo hit-and-run accidents, the fleeing driver is never identified. When that happens, the crash often becomes an uninsured motorist coverage (UM) claim.
North Dakota drivers should carry minimum uninsured motorist and underinsured motorist bodily injury coverage of:
Uninsured motorist coverage may help pay for injuries caused by:
Underinsured motorist (UIM) coverage differs slightly from uninsured motorist (UM) coverage. UIM may apply when the at-fault driver has insurance, but not enough to fully cover your damages.
Nothing upfront. We work on contingency, taking our fee from whatever we recover for you. Investigation expenses, expert consultations, subpoenas, and medical evaluations get covered by us during the case. No recovery means no attorney fees.
Many people assume their own insurance company will automatically “take care of them” after a hit-and-run accident.
Unfortunately, that’s not always how these claims work.
Insurance companies may try to:
Even though you’re dealing with your own insurer, UM and UIM claims are still adversarial claims involving significant financial exposure for the insurance company. When they try to minimize the severity of your injuries, they’re protecting their interests, not yours.
Victims of Fargo hit-and-run crashes commonly suffer:
Even so-called “mild” brain injuries can have serious long-term consequences.
Victims may experience:
Whiplash, herniated discs, torn ligaments, and shoulder injuries are especially common in motor vehicle collisions.
These injuries can make everyday activities difficult:
Attorney Pete Lowe understands this personally. After suffering serious injuries himself—including a neck injury requiring surgical fusion and multiple shoulder surgeries—he experienced firsthand how physical pain can affect every part of life.
Many injury victims struggle emotionally after a hit-and-run accident, especially when the driver responsible disappears.
Victims may develop:
Insurance companies often focus only on visible injuries while ignoring the emotional toll serious accidents create.
At Lowe Law Group, we know those losses are real. Not being able to work, help your family, lift your kids, sleep normally, or feel safe behind the wheel again can affect every aspect of recovery. That’s why we work to document both the physical and emotional impact your injuries have had on your life.
When the at-fault driver disappears, victims only have unanswered questions, insurance disputes, and missing evidence.
At Lowe Law Group, we build serious injury cases with more than legal opinions alone. Together, our multidisciplinary team of lawyers, doctors, and forensic experts builds cases backed by medical science, evidence, and trial-ready preparation.
A Fargo hit-and-run accident can leave victims facing significant physical, emotional, and financial losses. Depending on the severity of your injuries and the available insurance coverage, compensation may be available for:
North Dakota drivers must carry Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage, which may help pay for medical bills, lost wages, and replacement services regardless of fault. The state also strongly recommends uninsured motorist (UM) coverage, which is especially important in hit-and-run cases where the at-fault driver cannot be identified.
However, serious injuries often exceed minimum insurance limits, particularly in cases involving traumatic brain injuries, spinal injuries, chronic pain, or long-term disability.
In North Dakota, the personal injury statute of limitations is 6 years from the date of the accident. While that may seem like plenty of time, waiting can seriously hurt your case — surveillance footage gets deleted, witnesses become harder to find, and evidence disappears. The sooner you act, the stronger your claim.
You can still recover compensation. North Dakota requires drivers to carry uninsured motorist (UM) coverage, and hit and run cases are often treated as uninsured motorist claims. Your own policy may cover medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering — even if the at-fault driver is never found.
Not without speaking to an attorney first. Even your own insurer can use a recorded statement to minimize your injuries or dispute your claim. Before you say anything on the record, get a free case evaluation so you know exactly where you stand.
After a hit-and-run accident, most people are dealing with far more than injuries alone.
There are medical appointments, insurance adjusters, missed work, vehicle damage, paperwork, and constant uncertainty about what comes next.
That’s where we step in.
At Lowe Law Group, our Fargo car accident attorneys take the burden off you by handling every part of the legal and insurance process, including:
Our goal is simple: help you recover physically, emotionally, and financially while we fight for the compensation you deserve.

I was in my car waiting at a stoplight when I was rear ended hitting my head, giving me whiplash, and a concussion. It also reaggravated other injuries I was making progress on. Cyra at Lowe Law Group was great jumping right into my case. She was professional and did well in keeping me informed of the process and updating me as needed. There were some challenges in dealing with the culpable party but Lowe Law I believe was able to get me the best settlement possible given all the circumstances and would recommend to anyone who has been involved in an accident.

I cannot say enough, good things about Heather at Lowe Law Group! From the very beginning, she was a beacon of kindness, compassion, and professionalism. She truly cares about her clients, and her empathy shines through in every interaction. Heather made a potentially overwhelming process feel effortless, guiding me with such care and attention to detail that I always felt completely supported and understood. It’s rare to meet somebody who combines such warmth with incredible expertise, but Heather doesn’t flawlessly. She’s truly a gem, and I am beyond grateful for everything she has done!

After one of the worst things that has happened to my daughter or me, Harmony was able help me work through it in every aspect I needed. From the first day we spoke she worked was so kind, honest and she worked hard for us and went above and beyond. Giving me space when I needed it encouraged me to talk when I needed to. She helped me get medical information, check out the boxes of requirements, find a counselor, and More behind-the-scenes I don’t even know about. I NEVER FELT ALONE, it stopped being my battle and it became her’s.This whole process took maybe five months and at the beginning I guessed this would be over one year. I really appreciate her and because of her work! If I ever meet someone who has an unfortunate accident, I will give them the contact information for Lowe Law Group and song their/ Harmony’s praises!
