Larson Law Firm, P.C., in Minot and Fargo, North Dakota, serves injury victims and the families of wrongful death victims throughout North Dakota and northwestern Minnesota. Together, our firm's attorneys have more than 60 years of experience helping clients recover damages in every type of auto accident:

Auto collision or SUV rollover
Truck accident
Motorcycle crash
Pedestrians struck by cars
Victims of drunk drivers
Fatal car accident

At Larson Law Firm, a settlement is not settling for less. We can and do go to trial when an insurance company is unfair or unreasonable, but we frequently negotiate settlements for the full policy limits of available insurance coverage.

What If the Other Driver Is Not Insured?
Many people mistakenly believe they are out of luck if they are struck by the doubly negligent person driving around without bodily injury insurance. Under your uninsured motorist/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage, your own insurer pays your damages in this scenario.

The limiting factor is the policy limits on your own UM/UIM coverage. To collect full damages, your policy must be greater than the liability insurance of the driver who hit you:

If you have $25,000 per person/$50,000 per accident coverage and the other driver is uninsured, your insurer will cover your losses but only up to the limits of your policy.
If the other driver is underinsured (e.g., the state minimum of $25,000 coverage but your losses were $40,000), you are on the hook for the difference unless your own UM/ UIM policy goes that high.

How We Get Results
We investigate accidents promptly to later prove negligence/recklessness of the other driver or third party. Attorneys Mark Larson and Leo Wilking personally visit many auto accident scenes, or dispatch professional investigators or accident reconstructionists to gather evidence and witness statements. They also put their energy into making sure the other side understands our client's damages — medical treatment, chiropractors and physical therapy; lost wages and reduced capacity to earn a living; and the physical and emotional pain and suffering.

Car Accident Claims Against the State
If your accident involved a state employee (for example, a collision with a state fleet vehicle), you must act quickly. The state of North Dakota requires notification of claims within six months from the accident — the dust has barely settled before you lose your right to sue for damages. Contact Larson Law Firm immediately.

If your insurer does not offer to pay under UM/UIM coverage or resists a legitimate claim, you may have a bad faith claim against the company for additional damages. Mr. Larson has battled against the largest insurance companies many times in all types of disputed auto accident claims.
