Statute of Limitations

North Dakota has a 6-year statute of limitations for personal injury from truck accidents (NDCC § 28-01-16) — one of the longest in the nation. North Dakota follows pure comparative fault. Claims against the ND DOT or state entities require compliance with the North Dakota Tort Claims Act (NDCC § 32-12.2). Oil field trucks present unique injury scenarios including overturns on soft shoulders and crude oil spill liability.
