Bismarck has added bike infrastructure steadily over the past decade, and riders now have real options for getting across town. Bike lane safety in Bismarck still catches people out, though, largely because North Dakota’s bicycle rules changed meaningfully in 2021, and a lot of riders and drivers never got the memo. At Vogel Law Firm,…

People tend to think of pedestrian law as a single rule about crosswalks. In practice, a driver’s duty to pedestrians in ND is assembled from several statutes that work together, and understanding how they interact explains why a pedestrian crossing mid-block may still have a claim. At Vogel Law Firm, our attorneys handle these cases…

Bismarck is a walkable city in stretches and a distinctly unwalkable one in others. Pedestrian safety in Bismarck is largely a question of geography, because the risk is not spread evenly across town, and knowing where it concentrates is more useful than general advice about looking both ways. At Vogel Law Firm, our attorneys have…

Most writing about motorcycle injury recovery in ND jumps straight to insurance. This piece does not. It is about what actually happens to a body after a crash, in roughly the order it happens, because riders and families keep telling us nobody explained that part. What follows is general information rather than medical guidance, drawn…

Ask any rider who has crossed the Missouri River on a gusty afternoon, and they will tell you that motorcycle safety in ND weather is its own discipline. The riding skills that serve you well in Minneapolis or Denver are not quite enough on open prairie in a 30 mph crosswind. Our attorneys have spent…

“I think it was partly my fault, so I probably don’t have a case.” We hear that sentence often, and it is usually wrong. Comparative fault in a car accident in ND is a formula for dividing responsibility, not a test you pass or fail. Understanding how that formula works changes how you handle a…

Nobody handles a car crash well. You are shaken, possibly hurt, and suddenly dealing with adjusters, medical appointments, and a damaged vehicle. And you still need to get to work. The car accident mistakes in ND that cost people the most are rarely careless; they are simply the reasonable-seeming choices anyone makes when no one…

A truck company liability denial in ND can feel like the end of the road. You were hurt, the crash was not your doing, and now a letter from a claims office says the carrier accepts no responsibility. That letter carries no legal authority. Insurers and motor carriers deny claims for many reasons, and quite…
