A rear-end accident can change your life in seconds.
One moment you’re stopped at a red light. The next, you’re dealing with neck pain, headaches, vehicle damage, medical appointments, missed work, and insurance companies pressuring you to settle quickly.
At Lowe Law Group, we help auto accident victims in Williston rebuild after serious rear-end collisions. Our team of lawyers, doctors, and forensic experts works together to build cases designed to maximize compensation.
You don’t have to fight insurance companies alone
Rear-end crashes are often dismissed as “minor accidents,” but many victims quickly discover that their injuries are more severe or long-term than they thought.
A sudden impact can leave you dealing with:
Some people cannot lift their children comfortably anymore. Others struggle to return to physically demanding jobs in the Bakken oil fields.
Even daily tasks like driving, cooking, exercising, or sleeping can become painful reminders of the crash.
At Lowe Law Group, we understand these injuries on a personal level because many of our attorneys have lived through serious injuries themselves. We know the physical pain is only part of the battle.
Williston sits near major transportation corridors including U.S. Highway 2 and Highway 85, both heavily traveled by commercial vehicles, oilfield traffic, and long-haul trucking operations.
Rear-end crashes in the Williston area are often caused by:
Large trucks require significantly longer stopping distances than passenger vehicles. On icy North Dakota roads, even a momentary lapse in attention can lead to devastating collisions.
Texting, GPS use, eating, and other distractions are some of the leading causes of rear-end collisions. Drivers who take their eyes off the road for even a few seconds may not notice slowing traffic ahead.
If your crash involved distracted driving, a Williston distracted driving attorney may be able to help uncover phone records and other evidence.
Tailgating is especially dangerous on Highway 85 and other high-speed roads around Williston where traffic can stop unexpectedly.
Large trucks carrying equipment, water, oilfield supplies, and freight vehicles require greater stopping distances and can cause catastrophic injuries in rear-end collisions.
Our Williston truck accident attorneys can investigate potential liability involving:
Black ice, snow-packed roads, reduced traction, and poor visibility can all contribute to rear-end crashes throughout Williams County. Drivers still have a legal duty to operate safely for the conditions.
Even relatively low-speed rear-end collisions can generate enough force to cause serious neck and spine injuries.
Alcohol and drug impairment remain major contributors to serious crashes throughout North Dakota. Lowe Law Group’s Williston drunk driving accident lawyers can help pursue full compensation and accountability if you were a victim of an impaired driver.
In many rear-end crashes, the rear driver is presumed to be at fault because drivers are expected to maintain safe following distances. However, fault is not always straightforward.
Liability may become more complicated in cases involving:
North Dakota follows a modified comparative fault system. This means your compensation may be reduced if you are found partially responsible for the crash. You may still recover damages, as long as your fault is less than the combined fault of the other parties involved.
Insurance companies are aware of the modified comparative fault rule, so they often try to shift blame onto injury victims to reduce payouts.
That’s why our car accident lawyers in Williston work to gather evidence and document your injuries extensively early on in the case. The sooner we can establish the effects of the crash on your life (both short-term and long-term), the stronger your position will be with insurance companies.
Lowe Law Group handles rear-end accident cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless we win compensation for you.
We also have a 30-day guarantee. If you decide not to continue with our legal services after our first 30 days, you can leave, obligation-free.
Rear-end collisions can cause more than temporary soreness. Many victims experience injuries that interfere substantially with everyday life.
Some symptoms may not fully appear until hours or days after the crash, which is why medical evaluation is so important after a rear-end accident.
Whiplash is one of the most common injuries in rear-end collisions. Victims may experience neck pain, stiffness, headaches, and reduced mobility that can last for weeks, months, or longer.
Insurance companies often try to minimize whiplash claims even though these injuries can become chronic and debilitating.
Rear-end crashes can place enormous force on the spine, causing herniated discs, nerve pain, and long-term back injuries. Some victims require injections, physical therapy, or surgery.
Even low-speed rear-end crashes can cause concussions and traumatic brain injuries. Victims may struggle with headaches, memory issues, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating after the collision.
Seat belts often restrain the shoulder during impact while the rest of the body continues moving forward, which can damage muscles, tendons, and ligaments in the shoulder joint.
Rear-end accident injuries are not always immediately visible. Many victims develop worsening pain, anxiety, sleep problems, or driving-related PTSD in the days and weeks after the crash.
Some rear-end accident injuries don’t fully appear until hours or even days after the collision. Neck pain, headaches, concussions, and back injuries often worsen over time, which is one reason insurance companies frequently dispute these claims. Seeking prompt medical attention can help protect both your health and your case.
Insurance companies frequently try to minimize rear-end cases by arguing the crash was “minor,” the injuries are exaggerated, or the symptoms existed before the accident.
At Lowe Law Group, we build cases designed to push back against those tactics from day one.
What sets our team apart is our multidisciplinary approach. Our attorneys work alongside medical professionals and forensic experts (who are full-time members of our staff) to understand how the crash happened and how your injuries may affect your future.
Many of our attorneys have also lived through serious injuries themselves, giving us firsthand understanding of the physical, emotional, and financial impact a rear-end collision can have on your life.
We prepare every case as though it may go to trial, and we’re not afraid to litigate when insurance companies refuse to offer fair compensation.
After a crash, our team helps clients by handling:
You focus on healing. We handle everything else.
We help injured drivers throughout Williston, Williams County, and the Bakken region after serious rear-end collisions involving:
Our Williston car accident attorneys understand the unique driving conditions people face across western North Dakota and how insurance companies try to minimize these claims.
The value of a rear-end accident case depends on factors like injury severity, medical treatment, lost wages, future care needs, insurance coverage, and long-term limitations. Cases involving surgery, permanent injuries, or chronic pain are often worth significantly more.
Yes. Even relatively low-speed rear-end collisions can cause whiplash and other soft tissue injuries. Symptoms may not fully appear until much later.
North Dakota generally allows six years to file a personal injury lawsuit under N.D.C.C. § 28-01-16. However, certain situations may involve shorter deadlines, so it’s important to speak with an attorney as soon as possible.
Possibly. Rear-end collisions often aggravate pre-existing injuries. Insurance companies may try to blame your symptoms on prior conditions, but aggravated injuries can still qualify for compensation.
Serious rear-end accident claims often involve disputed injuries, medical evidence, insurance negotiations, and long-term damages. An attorney can help protect your rights and pursue full compensation.

I was hit by a trailer that crossed the median while I was driving on the highway which not only destroyed my car, but I have had to deal with a concussion, neck and back pain along with other PTSD issues. Life happens, some events alter your life, and it can be difficult to adjust. Lowe Law Group is the absolute best. If you want someone who’s gonna be in your corner and help you out big time. I HIGHLY recommend them. They made it so much easier, and they don’t care just about money. They want you to be able to get the help you need to recover. Specifically, James Brandenburg has been so helpful and relatable. Where other companies have made me feel just like a number, he has made me feel like a friend.

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! THANK YOU HARMONY!
