A car crash changes everything in an instant. Medical bills start piling up. Your car needs repairs. You’re missing work. And the insurance company is already calling with questions you shouldn’t answer alone.
If you were hurt in a crash in Grand Forks, you need a lawyer who knows how to build a case, fight the insurers, and recover every dollar you’re owed.
Lowe Law Group has recovered more than $550 million for injury victims across North Dakota and Minnesota, with a 99% win rate across 13,172 cases. We work on contingency, which means you pay nothing unless we win.
The steps you take after a crash directly affect the strength of your claim. Here’s what to do.
Call 911 even if injuries seem minor. A police report creates an official record of the crash that your attorney can use to establish fault. See a doctor the same day, or as soon as possible. Some injuries, including whiplash and traumatic brain injuries, don’t show symptoms right away. A gap in medical treatment gives insurers grounds to dispute your claim.
If you’re able to do so safely, photograph the vehicles, road conditions, traffic signs, and any visible injuries. Get the other driver’s name, insurance information, and license plate number. Collect contact information from any witnesses. The more documentation you have, the stronger your case.
The other driver’s insurance company may contact you quickly after the crash. Do not give a recorded statement. Adjusters are trained to ask questions in ways that minimize your claim. Anything you say can be used to reduce or deny your settlement.
Insurance companies move fast, and their first offer is rarely their best. Before you sign anything or accept a settlement, speak with a Grand Forks car accident lawyer. Once you accept, you give up the right to pursue additional compensation, even if your injuries turn out to be more serious than expected.
Car crashes cause a wide range of injuries, from soft tissue damage to life-altering trauma. The severity of your injury has a direct impact on the value of your claim, which is why having medical expertise on your side matters from day one.
Here are the injuries we see most often in Grand Forks car accident cases.
Whiplash is one of the most common crash injuries and one of the most frequently disputed by insurers. Symptoms can take days to appear, and without proper documentation, adjusters will argue the injury is minor or unrelated to the crash. We build the medical record that proves otherwise.
A TBI can result from even a moderate impact. Symptoms, including memory loss, headaches, and cognitive difficulties, can affect your ability to work and function long after the crash. These cases require careful medical documentation and often carry significant long-term value.
Herniated discs, nerve damage, and spinal cord injuries can mean months of treatment, surgery, and in serious cases, permanent disability. The long-term cost of spinal injuries is one of the most important factors in calculating full compensation.
Broken ribs, arms, legs, and wrists are common in high-impact crashes. Recovery timelines vary, but lost wages and ongoing medical care add up quickly. We account for every cost when building your claim.
You may be in pain and unable to work, while medical bills pile up and insurance companies pressure you into unfair settlements.
You don’t have to face this alone. We’ll fight the case while you heal.
Many crashes involve travel, out-of-state drivers, or insurance carriers that operate across state lines. While this page focuses on Grand Forks, we also represent injured people in:
After a crash, the other driver’s insurance company has one goal: pay you as little as possible.
They have teams of adjusters and attorneys working to minimize your claim from the moment the accident is reported. They may contact you within hours, offer a quick settlement before you know the full extent of your injuries, or use your own words against you. Don’t face them alone.
Lowe Law Group levels the playing field. Our team has the resources, the medical expertise, and the courtroom experience to take on the largest insurance companies in North Dakota and win.
Dr. Andrew Georgi is the in-house medical director who works exclusively for our clients. He reviews medical records, identifies injuries insurers try to minimize, and provides the documentation we need to maximize your recovery. No other firm in the region offers this.
We bring in accident reconstruction experts, investigators, and forensic specialists to build the most complete picture of what happened. Evidence matters. We make sure none of it gets missed.
Most personal injury firms settle every case. We prepare every case for trial. That reputation changes how insurance companies negotiate with us, and it changes the outcomes our clients get.
Our contingency fee structure means there is no upfront cost to hire us. We only get paid when you do. And with our 30-day risk-free guarantee, you can hire us with complete confidence.

In the first 30 days after signing with us, you have the right to end the agreement with no obligation to pay for any services rendered.
North Dakota law governs how car accident claims are filed, how fault is assigned, and how much compensation you can recover. Understanding these rules is critical to protecting your claim.
In North Dakota, you have six years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury claim. While six years may seem like plenty of time, waiting works against you. Evidence disappears. Witnesses become harder to locate. Memories fade. The sooner you act, the stronger your case.
North Dakota follows a modified comparative fault rule. If you are found partially at fault for the crash, your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault. However, if you are found to be 50% or more at fault, you cannot recover anything at all.
Insurance companies know this rule, and they use it aggressively. They will look for any reason to assign you a share of the blame in order to reduce what they owe you. Having an experienced Grand Forks car accident lawyer on your side means those arguments don’t go unanswered.
The clock starts the day of your crash. Don’t wait.
Every case is different, but compensation in a North Dakota car accident claim typically falls into two categories: economic damages and non-economic damages. Our attorneys work to maximize both.
Economic damages cover the concrete financial losses you’ve suffered, including:
Non-economic damages cover the losses that don’t come with a receipt, including:
In cases involving particularly reckless or egregious conduct, punitive damages may also be available.
Lowe Law Group clients receive an average litigation recovery of $236,198. That number reflects what happens when a case is built properly, negotiated aggressively, and taken to trial when necessary.
Car crashes are a serious and ongoing problem across North Dakota. According to the North Dakota Department of Transportation, there were 9,803 vehicle crashes in the state in 2024, resulting in 89 fatalities and 3,592 injuries.
Grand Forks sits at the intersection of I-29 and US Highway 2, two of the most heavily traveled corridors in the region. High traffic volume, harsh winter conditions, and distracted driving all contribute to crashes on Grand Forks roads year-round.
If you were injured in a crash anywhere in Grand Forks or Grand Forks County, the statistics behind your accident matter less than the facts of your case. What matters is that you act quickly, preserve evidence, and have an experienced attorney fighting for your recovery.
No two crashes are alike. Lowe Law Group handles the full range of car accident cases in Grand Forks, from minor collisions to catastrophic injuries.
Crashes involving semi-trucks and commercial vehicles are among the most serious on North Dakota roads. These cases involve federal FMCSA regulations, commercial insurance policies, and multiple liable parties. We have the resources to investigate and litigate them fully.
Intersection crashes are among the most common in Grand Forks, particularly along busy corridors like 32nd Avenue South and Columbia Road. T-bone collisions often cause severe injuries to drivers and passengers on the struck side of the vehicle.
Rear-end collisions are frequently caused by distracted or tailgating drivers. Even low-speed rear-end crashes can cause significant whiplash and soft tissue injuries that insurers routinely try to minimize.
When a driver causes a crash because they were texting, impaired, or otherwise negligent, you deserve full accountability. We pursue maximum compensation in cases involving clear driver fault.
Uber and Lyft accidents involve complex insurance questions that standard car accident claims do not. We know how to navigate rideshare liability and get our clients the compensation they’re owed.
You have six years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury claim under NDCC § 28-01-16. However, waiting weakens your case. Evidence disappears and witnesses become harder to locate. Contact an attorney as soon as possible after your crash.
You may still be able to recover compensation. Under North Dakota’s modified comparative fault rule, your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. As long as you are less than 50% at fault, you can still pursue a claim.
Nothing upfront. Lowe Law Group works on contingency, which means you pay nothing unless we win. There is no hourly rate and no retainer required.
It depends on the complexity of your case and the severity of your injuries. Some cases resolve in a few months. Others, particularly those involving serious injuries or disputed liability, take longer. We move as quickly as the facts of your case allow.
You may still have options. Your own uninsured motorist coverage may apply, and there may be other liable parties depending on the circumstances of the crash. We’ll identify every available avenue for recovery.
As soon as possible. The earlier we get involved, the better we can preserve evidence, protect you from insurance tactics, and build the strongest possible case.
A car crash is overwhelming. But you don’t have to navigate it alone. While you focus on healing, Lowe Law Group handles everything else: the insurance companies, the paperwork, the evidence, the negotiations, and the courtroom if it comes to that.
We’ve recovered more than $550 million for injury victims across North Dakota and Minnesota. We’re ready to go to work for you.
