Williston has no shortage of personal injury attorneys advertising on billboards along US-2. Unfortunately, not all of the firms shouting to get your attention are willing to do the work it actually takes to win.
At Lowe Law Group, we’ve handled cases throughout Williams County, from highway collisions on US-2 and US-85 to oilfield injuries in the Williston Basin, workplace accidents, and crashes on city streets. We know this community, and we know what it takes to build a case that holds up.
When you hire us, we take over the heavy lifting. We investigate the accident, deal with the insurance companies, and fight for every dollar you’re owed. You pay nothing unless we win.
With $550M+ recovered for clients and a 99% win rate, we don’t just talk about fighting for our clients. We have the record to prove it.
Williston’s economy brings a unique mix of risks. Heavy truck traffic, active drilling operations, and long highway commutes mean the injuries we see here often look different from those in other parts of North Dakota. We handle the full range of personal injury cases in Williams County, including:
Oilfield and Workplace Injuries. The Bakken keeps Williston running, but drilling sites, well pads, and oil service facilities are some of the most dangerous workplaces in the country. When negligence causes a serious injury on the job, workers deserve someone fighting for them.
Truck and Commercial Vehicle Accidents. US-2 and US-85 carry some of the heaviest commercial traffic in the region. Crashes involving semis, tankers, and fleet vehicles are complex claims that often involve multiple liable parties, including trucking companies and their insurers.
Car Accidents. From downtown intersections to highway on-ramps, everyday collisions in Williston can result in serious injuries that insurers routinely try to minimize.
Slip and Fall and Premises Liability. Property owners have a legal duty to maintain safe conditions. When they don’t, and someone gets hurt, they can be held responsible.
Wrongful Death. When a family loses someone because of another party’s negligence, we help surviving loved ones pursue the full compensation they’re entitled to.
If you don’t see your situation listed here, call us anyway. If you were injured in Williston or anywhere in Williams County, there’s a good chance we can help.
In 2024, Williams County recorded 691 crashes, resulting in 209 injuries and 7 fatalities. Behind every one of those numbers is a real person with injuries to recover from, bills to pay, and a life that looks nothing like it did before. These are the cases we handle every day.
Oilfield and Drilling Site Accidents
The Bakken formation turned Williston into one of the country’s busiest energy hubs, but drilling sites and well pads don’t come without serious risk. Equipment failures, explosions, falls from height, and exposure to hazardous materials are all too common on drilling sites and well pads throughout Williams County. When an oilfield injury occurs, liability often extends beyond a single employer to contractors, equipment manufacturers, and site operators.
Truck Accidents on US-2 and US-85
The highways running through Williston carry a constant flow of commercial traffic: tanker trucks, flatbeds, oversized loads, and fleet vehicles moving equipment in and out of the oil fields. Crashes involving commercial trucks are among the most serious on North Dakota roads, and the claims that follow are among the most contested. Trucking companies and their insurers move fast to protect themselves. You need someone moving just as fast on your behalf.
Highway and Interstate Crashes
Long stretches of open highway, harsh winter conditions, fatigued drivers, and heavy freight traffic create consistent crash risk throughout Williams County. High-speed collisions on rural highways often result in catastrophic injuries that require aggressive legal representation to fully compensate.
Workplace and Construction Accidents
Williston’s ongoing development means active construction throughout the city and surrounding areas. Falls, equipment accidents, and injuries caused by unsafe job site conditions are common, and determining liability in these cases often involves multiple contractors and subcontractors.
Winter Weather Accidents
North Dakota winters are unforgiving, and Williston is no exception. Ice, blowing snow, and whiteout conditions contribute to a significant share of annual crashes in Williams County. Poor weather does not eliminate a driver’s legal responsibility to operate safely, and it does not reduce your right to compensation when someone else’s negligence caused your injuries.
The moments right after an accident are disorienting. You may be in pain, in shock, or unsure of what just happened. What you do in those first hours and days can have a real impact on your health and on the strength of any legal claim you make. Here’s what we tell every client.
Call 911. Report the accident and get emergency services on the scene. A police report creates an official record of what happened, which is critical for your insurance claim and any potential lawsuit. Don’t skip this step even if the accident seems minor.
Get medical attention right away. This is the most important thing you can do, both for your health and for your case. Some injuries, including traumatic brain injuries, internal bleeding, and spinal damage, don’t present symptoms immediately. A prompt medical evaluation connects your injuries to the accident and creates documentation that insurers cannot easily dismiss.
Document everything you can. If you’re physically able, photograph the scene, the vehicles, road conditions, any visible injuries, and anything else that seems relevant. In oilfield and workplace accidents, photograph the equipment and site conditions before anything is moved or cleaned up.
Get witness information. Names and contact details from anyone who saw what happened can be valuable later, especially when liability is disputed.
Don’t admit fault or give a recorded statement. Be factual and brief when speaking with law enforcement. Do not apologize, speculate about what caused the accident, or give a recorded statement to any insurance company before speaking with an attorney. What you say in those early conversations can be used to reduce or deny your claim.
Notify your insurance company. Report the accident, but keep it brief and factual. You are not required to give a recorded statement to the other driver’s insurer.
Contact a Williston personal injury attorney before you sign anything. Insurance companies move quickly after an accident, and their first offer is rarely their best one. Before you accept any settlement or sign any release, talk to us. A free case evaluation costs you nothing and could make a significant difference in what you ultimately recover.
It’s one of the first questions injured victims ask, and it’s a fair one. The honest answer is that every case is different. What we can tell you is what factors drive the value of a claim and why having the right legal team in your corner matters more than most people realize.
The severity and permanence of your injuries. A soft tissue injury that heals in six weeks and a spinal cord injury that affects your mobility for life are not worth the same amount. The more serious and lasting your injuries, the higher the potential value of your claim.
Your medical expenses, past and future. Every accident-related medical cost is recoverable, including emergency treatment, surgery, hospitalization, physical therapy, and ongoing care. Future medical needs are often the largest component of a serious injury claim, and accurately projecting those costs requires medical expertise.
This is exactly why having Dr. Andrew Georgi on our team matters. He works directly with our attorneys to make sure your long-term medical needs are fully documented and accounted for.
Lost wages and reduced earning capacity. If your injuries kept you out of work, that lost income is recoverable. If they’ve permanently affected your ability to earn at the same level, that future loss is recoverable too. In Williston, where oilfield and construction wages are significant, this can be a substantial part of a claim.
Pain and suffering. North Dakota law allows injured victims to recover compensation for physical pain, emotional distress, anxiety, depression, and loss of enjoyment of life. These non-economic damages are real and often significant, but they require skilled legal advocacy to establish and defend.
How fault is assigned. Under North Dakota’s modified comparative fault rule, your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. Insurance companies routinely try to inflate your share of blame to reduce what they owe. The stronger your case, the less leverage they have to do that.
The difference between accepting an insurance company’s first offer and having an experienced attorney build and fight your case can be substantial. At Lowe Law Group, we know what these cases are worth, and we don’t stop until we’ve pursued every dollar you’re owed.
After a serious accident in Williston, you’re facing more than physical pain—you’re dealing with medical bills, lost wages, and insurance companies trying to shortchange your future.

North Dakota has specific insurance requirements and fault rules that affect every personal injury claim in the state. Understanding how they work together can help you avoid costly mistakes after an accident.
North Dakota requires all drivers to carry a minimum of $30,000 in Personal Injury Protection coverage. PIP is a no-fault coverage, which means it pays for your medical expenses and a portion of your lost wages regardless of who caused the accident. You don’t have to prove the other driver was at fault to access your PIP benefits.
That sounds straightforward, but there’s an important limitation. PIP covers your immediate economic losses, but it does not compensate you for pain and suffering, emotional distress, or the full long-term cost of a serious injury. To recover those damages, you need to pursue a separate liability claim against the at-fault party.
Knowing how to use your PIP coverage while simultaneously building a third-party liability claim is something many accident victims try to navigate alone and get wrong. An experienced personal injury attorney in Williston can help you maximize both.
North Dakota follows a modified comparative fault system under North Dakota Century Code § 32-03.2-02. Here’s what that means in practical terms.
If you were partially at fault for the accident, you can still recover compensation as long as your share of fault is less than 50%. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you’re found 20% at fault and your damages total $100,000, you recover $80,000.
If your share of fault reaches 50% or more, you cannot recover anything.
Insurance companies understand this rule well, and they use it strategically. Inflating your percentage of fault is one of the most common tactics adjusters use to reduce or eliminate a payout. Having an attorney who can push back on that assessment, with evidence, makes a real difference in what you ultimately recover.
We’re attorneys who could easily represent big corporations. Instead, we chose to fight for individuals and families because we believe everyone deserves justice, regardless of where they come from or what they do for work.
In Williston’s fast-growing economy, it’s easy for working people to get lost in the shuffle when they’re injured. We make sure that doesn’t happen to you.
