Motorcycle accidents are so severe for one simple reason: The rider absorbs the impact. There’s no steel frame, airbags, or surrounding structure to disperse the force like in passenger cars. When a motorcycle collides with a vehicle, guardrail, or pavement, the rider’s body takes the full energy of the crash.
That also means the consequences of a motorcycle accident are rarely temporary. An injured motorcycle rider’s best chance of recovery and finding stability again after an accident is usually pursuing a personal injury claim to help cover the significant damages. When injuries are this serious, claims need to be medically accurate, strategically investigated, and aggressively negotiated.
At Lowe Law Group, we understand how dramatically your life changes after one motorcycle accident. Our Williston personal injury lawyers understand that it’s not just injuries you’re dealing with. It’s also financial stress, mental fatigue, and emotional strain from unpaid medical bills, having to stay home from work to recover, and not being able to provide for your family.
We take a different approach to motorcycle accidents because they aren’t typical auto accidents. Our attorneys build you a strong case and handle insurance negotiations for you but, more importantly, we take the mental and emotional burden off your shoulders. You can focus on recovering from your injuries, and we can handle the legal complexities.
Williston riders aren’t the only ones we fight for. Our firm handles serious motorcycle accident cases across the region, including in:
No matter where your crash happened, our attorneys are ready to build your case and take on the insurance companies.
Since motorcycle cases are more severe, more disputed, and more complex than standard auto accidents, you need more than basic legal representation. You need a team that understands the medical, legal, and strategic realities of a catastrophic injury.
The team at Lowe Law Group is multidisciplinary. That means, in addition to an experienced legal team, you also have medical doctors and forensic experts working on your case. Rather than relying on external consultants to lend their expertise on a case-by-case basis, we employ these experts full-time, as members of our team.
This gives us unique insights and access to resources that most other firms don’t have in-house. We can build a more comprehensive case that insurance companies can’t downplay or ignore.
Insurance companies know which firms settle quickly, and they know how expensive motorcycle accident claims are. They will avoid settling as much as they can if it means paying more. We negotiate aggressively and work to get you the best settlement possible, but sometimes, the only way to get insurers to pay what you deserve is to go to trial.
For that reason, we prepare every case as if it might go to court. So if it does happen, we’re not caught off guard.
Motorcyclists get unfairly labeled as reckless risk-takers for choosing to ride a motorcycle. Although they’d never admit it, insurance adjusters sometimes show this bias during negotiations. They might try to argue harder that you were at fault or offer a lower settlement.
Our Williston motorcycle accident attorneys are aware of this bias, and we have the tools and tactics to overcome it:
After a bad motorcycle crash, you’re dealing with surgeries, physical therapy, missed work, insurance calls, and mounting stress. When you work with us, we take over so you can focus on recovery.
We take care of:
Ultimately, crash victims choose to have Lowe represent them because we don’t make you feel like another case number. You’re not just a hospital patient, insurance claim, or absent employee. You’re a person who’s suffered a great deal.
Our attorneys take the time to listen to your story. We hear your concerns and fears, and we work to create the ideal strategy for you and your family.
Insurance companies routinely minimize motorcycle injuries because these cases are expensive. The more severe and long-term the impact, the more they try to frame it as “temporary” or “manageable.”
Here are the injuries they most often downplay, and what they really mean for your life.
How insurers describe it: “Mild concussion.” “You’re improving.” “Normal imaging.”
What it actually feels like:
A “mild” brain injury can derail your career, strain relationships, and affect your independence. But because it’s often invisible, insurers try to treat it like a short-term inconvenience.
How insurers frame it: “Pre-existing.” “Degenerative.” “Soft tissue.”
What it actually means:
When your back doesn’t work the way it used to, your entire lifestyle changes, from how you sleep to how you earn a living.
How insurers describe it: “The bone healed.” “You had surgery; you’re fine now.”
What that ignores:
A fracture isn’t just a broken bone. It’s months of rehab, missed income, and sometimes permanent loss of strength.
How insurers treat it: “Superficial.” “Cosmetic.”
What it actually involves:
Road rash can be catastrophic in motorcycle crashes. Yet insurers often minimize it because it doesn’t show up on an X-ray.
How insurers frame it: “Your vitals stabilized.” “You were discharged.”
What they ignore:
Just because you survived doesn’t mean the impact is over.
How insurers respond: “There’s no objective test.” “That’s unrelated.”
What riders actually experience:
After a violent motorcycle crash, many riders struggle mentally, even if their physical injuries heal. Insurance companies rarely account for that unless it’s aggressively documented and proven.
How insurers describe it: “Subjective.” “You should be better by now.”
What it really means:
Chronic pain is one of the most undervalued elements in motorcycle claims and one of the most life-altering.
Motorcycle accidents are often catastrophic. The injuries aren’t minor and the long-term consequences are rarely simple.
Insurance companies downplay these injuries because:
If the injury isn’t fully documented and strategically presented, it gets undervalued. That’s why serious motorcycle cases require thorough medical documentation, clear explanation of the long-term impact, and expert evaluation of future care.
The losses you’ve suffered go beyond medical bills. Getting compensation isn’t just to help you pay off these expenses; it’s to help you restore stability to your life after a violent and life-disrupting accident.
In North Dakota, injured motorcyclists can pursue several categories of damages:
Examples include:
If you’re forced to miss work because of your injuries, you can recover:
You may be entitled to compensation for the difference between what you would have earned and what you can earn now if your injuries permanently limit:
You could get compensation for your physical pain and discomfort caused by:
Examples include:
You could get compensation for the long-term effects of:
Examples include:
Legal representation matters because we’ll work to get you all the compensation you need to recover. Insurance companies only focus on your current medical bills and ignore possible future care. They minimize the importance of earning capacity losses, as well as your pain and emotional trauma.
The Lowe Law Group helps you reach a settlement you truly deserve. Our goal isn’t just to get you money, it’s to:
Every motorcycle crash in Williston is different, but there are similar patterns. When drivers claim they “didn’t see your bike” or that you “came out of nowhere,” we respond strategically by analyzing sightlines from the accident scene, reviewing camera footage and using reconstruction experts to calculate speed and reaction time.
Because “I didn’t see the motorcycle” isn’t a legal defense.
We’ve also dealt with cases involving oilfield and commercial vehicle crashes, which are more complex. They require preservation of driver logs, commercial insurance negotiations, company safety record reviews, and fleet maintenance history investigations.
In other words, commercial vehicles don’t simply carry damaging evidence around with them. It has to be demanded properly and quickly.
Some accidents are caused by distracted driving, which can be difficult to prove. However, our attorneys work to establish a link between distracted driving and the motorcycle crash by:
Motorcycle accident settlements vary widely. The amount usually depends on injury severity, medical treatment, missed work, long term limitations, insurance coverage, and fault. Claims involving serious injuries, surgery, or permanent impairment are generally worth more than minor injury cases. A lawyer can estimate value based on your specific damages.
After a motorcycle accident, do not leave the scene, admit fault, delay medical care, or give a recorded statement to an insurer without advice. Avoid posting about the crash on social media and do not ignore follow up treatment. Preserving evidence and getting legal guidance early can protect your claim.
North Dakota gives injured riders six years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury claim, which is longer than most states. However, waiting makes it harder to gather evidence and track down witnesses. Speaking with a lawyer soon after the accident puts you in a much stronger position from the start.
If you were hurt in a motorcycle crash in Williston, ND, you shouldn’t have to battle insurance companies while you’re trying to recover.
At Lowe Law Group, our motorcycle accident lawyers are ready to step in immediately. We move quickly to preserve evidence, document your injuries properly, and protect you from insurance tactics designed to minimize your claim. From day one, our focus is simple: build the strongest case possible and pursue the full compensation you deserve.
We serve injured riders throughout Williston, Williams County, and the surrounding Bakken region, and we’re ready to discuss your case.

Our team handles everything: the legal process, gathering paperwork, reviewing your medical treatment, and more.

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.

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!
