At Lowe Law Group, many of our attorneys are avid motorcycle riders. We have friends and family who’ve been involved in motorcycle accidents, and we know how devastating they can be.
Motorcycles make up a small percentage of registered vehicles on the road, yet motorcyclists accounted for 15% of all traffic fatalities in 2024, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Distracted, impaired, and reckless drivers continue to be a threat to riders in Fargo and beyond.
Right now, you might be dealing with serious injuries, loss of income, and medical bills. But you don’t have to go through this alone.
Our firm represents injured riders across the region, not just in Fargo. We also handle motorcycle accident cases in:
If you were hurt in a motorcycle accident, our attorneys are ready to fight for the compensation you deserve.
The moments after a motorcycle accident are chaotic. You may be injured, overwhelmed, and unsure what to do next, especially if the crash happened on a busy Fargo roadway like I-29, I-94, Veterans Boulevard, or 13th Avenue South.
What you do in the hours and days after the crash can have a major impact on both your health and your injury claim.
Even if you think your injuries are minor, get evaluated as soon as possible. Motorcycle accident injuries are often more serious than they first appear. Adrenaline can mask symptoms of head injuries, internal bleeding, spinal trauma, and concussions for hours after the crash.
If the accident happened within Fargo city limits, law enforcement will typically respond and create an official accident report. Serious motorcycle accident injuries often require emergency treatment and ongoing care through Fargo-area hospitals and specialists.
If it is safe to do so, take photos and videos of:
This evidence can disappear quickly on busy Fargo roads and interstate corridors. If there were witnesses, get their contact information before they leave the scene.
After a motorcycle accident, the insurance company may contact you early in the claims process and ask for a recorded statement or quick settlement discussion.
They may sound concerned and supportive, but their goal is often to limit what the company pays. Before speaking with the insurance company in detail, it’s smart to understand your legal rights first.
Keep copies of:
Motorcycle accident claims often involve substantial medical costs and long recovery periods. Strong documentation helps show the full impact the crash has had on your life.
North Dakota gives injured riders significant legal rights after a crash, including the ability to pursue compensation. Evidence can disappear quickly, however.
Nearby businesses, traffic camera systems, and property owners may not preserve footage unless it is requested quickly. Witness memories fade. Insurance companies begin building their defense immediately after the crash.
The earlier you bring in a legal team to investigate your accident, the better you protect your case. At Lowe Law Group, we help Fargo riders understand their options and take the legal burden off their shoulders from day one.
After an accident, the insurance adjuster may act helpful. But behind the scenes, they’re working to minimize your payout.
Motorcycle claims are especially vulnerable to these tactics. Insurance companies often rely on unfair stereotypes about riders, or try to shift the blame to avoid paying full compensation.
Lowe Law Group’s personal injury lawyers in Fargo can help protect you from pressure tactics and make sure the claim reflects the full impact of your injuries. Our team has seen it all. That’s why we act fast to protect your rights and make sure their tricks don’t work on you.
North Dakota motorcycle laws can directly affect your motorcycle accident injury claim and the compensation you recover.
North Dakota law only requires helmets for riders and passengers under 18 years old per N.D.C.C. § 39-10.2-06. Adult riders are generally not legally required to wear one.
Even so, insurance companies may still argue that not wearing a helmet contributed to certain injuries after a crash.
North Dakota does not allow lane splitting. Under N.D.C.C. § 39-10.2-03, motorcycles cannot ride between lanes of traffic or between rows of vehicles.
These issues often come up after crashes on busy Fargo roads like I-29, I-94, Veterans Boulevard, and 13th Avenue South.
North Dakota follows a modified comparative fault system under N.D.C.C. § 32-03.2-02. An injured rider can still recover compensation if they were partly at fault for the crash, but their compensation may be reduced based on their percentage of responsibility.
Insurance companies often try to use this rule to unfairly blame riders after motorcycle accidents. That’s why evidence, witness statements, and accident reconstruction can play a major role in protecting your case.
North Dakota gives injured riders more time to file a lawsuit than many other states. Under N.D.C.C. § 28-01-16, motorcycle accident victims generally have six years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury claim.
That may sound like plenty of time, but waiting can seriously damage your case. The sooner you begin protecting evidence and documenting your injuries, the stronger your case may be.
If you have questions about deadlines or your legal options after a Fargo motorcycle accident, Lowe Law Group can help you understand what steps to take next.
Many firms settle too fast for too little. We build cases that win big whether at the negotiation table or in the courtroom.
Our in-house doctor and medical team helps us uncover the full extent of your injury and how it will affect your future. That leads to stronger cases and bigger payouts.
We bring in top forensic experts to analyze crashes and injuries in detail. That kind of evidence is hard to argue with and impossible to ignore.
Most firms cave when insurers push back. We don’t. And insurance companies know that. That’s why they settle for maximum amounts on our terms often before we need to take them to court.
You have nothing to lose. Our contingency model means you only pay if we win.
Motorcycle accidents often cause more severe injuries than standard car crashes because riders have far less physical protection during impact.
Even low-speed collisions on Fargo roads like I-29, I-94, Veterans Boulevard, or 13th Avenue South can leave riders facing months or years of recovery.
Some of the most common motorcycle accident injuries we see include:

As the busiest city in the state and home to the I-29 and I-94 interchange, Fargo sees heavy commuter traffic, commercial trucking activity, and fast-moving highway congestion that can create dangerous conditions for motorcyclists. Busy corridors like 13th Avenue South, Veterans Boulevard, Main Avenue, and 45th Street are common locations for serious crashes involving distracted or aggressive drivers.
At Lowe Law Group, we represent injured riders throughout Fargo, West Fargo, Moorhead, Cass County, and surrounding communities across eastern North Dakota.
Our Fargo motorcycle accident attorneys handle cases involving crashes on:
We also help riders injured in crashes involving out-of-state drivers and commercial vehicles traveling through the Fargo freight corridor. Our Fargo truck accident attorneys regularly handle serious crashes involving 18-wheelers.
Every motorcycle accident case is different, so there is no standard settlement amount for injured riders in Fargo or elsewhere in North Dakota.
The value of a claim often depends on factors like:
Motorcycle accident claims are often more complex than standard car accident cases because riders tend to suffer more serious injuries during a crash. Our Fargo car accident lawyers regularly handle catastrophic injury cases involving spinal injuries, brain trauma, and long-term disability.
Insurance companies may try to settle quickly before the full impact of an injury becomes clear. But injuries involving the brain, spine, shoulders, nerves, or chronic pain can affect a rider for years after the accident.
That’s why our team of Fargo motorcycle accident lawyers works with medical professionals and forensic experts to fully understand the long-term impact of a crash before evaluating settlement offers.
Fargo sits at the intersection of Interstate 29 and Interstate 94, two of the busiest highway corridors in North Dakota.
According to the 2024 North Dakota Crash Summary from Vision Zero, Cass County recorded 2,511 crashes and 1,111 injuries in 2024—the highest crash totals in the state.
Motorcycle crashes are especially dangerous in North Dakota. State safety data shows that the majority of motorcycle crashes result in serious injury or death.
The North Dakota Department of Transportation continues to identify speeding, distracted driving, impairment, and failure to yield as major contributors to serious motorcycle accidents statewide.
Possibly. North Dakota only requires helmets for riders and passengers under 18 years old. Adult riders can still pursue compensation after a crash even if they were not wearing a helmet.
However, insurance companies may argue that helmet use affects the severity of certain injuries, especially head trauma cases.
After a motorcycle accident, call 911, seek medical attention, document the scene if possible, and avoid discussing fault with the insurance company before understanding your legal rights.
It’s also important to preserve medical records, repair estimates, and photos related to the crash.
Not every accident requires legal action. But if the crash caused serious injuries, disputed fault, lost income, or pressure from insurance companies, speaking with a lawyer early can help protect your rights and preserve important evidence.
At Lowe Law Group, we help Fargo riders understand their options and handle the legal process while they focus on recovery.
A serious motorcycle accident can leave you with a lot of questions. We’re here to help you move forward. Call us for a free case consultation today; our attorneys are available 24/7.
