Car Accidents
A car accident can upend your life in seconds — medical bills, missed work, a vehicle that needs repair or replacement, and an insurance company that's often more focused on limiting its payout than making things right. I help clients across Fargo-Moorhead and the surrounding area hold the responsible party accountable, while keeping you informed and in control of every decision along the way.
You shouldn't have to navigate this alone, and you shouldn't have to become an expert in insurance claims just to be treated fairly. That's what I'm here for.
What Your Case May Involve
- Fault and liability investigation — North Dakota and Minnesota follow a modified comparative fault rule, meaning your compensation can be affected by how fault is shared between drivers. Getting this right matters.
- Insurance negotiations — Adjusters are trained to minimize payouts. I handle all communication with insurers, so you don’t have to.
- Medical documentation — I work to ensure your injuries, treatment, and long-term impact are properly documented and valued — without exposing unrelated medical history in the process.
- Lost wages and future impact — Beyond current bills, I account for missed work, reduced earning capacity, and ongoing care needs.
- Rear-end and intersection collisions
- Head-on collisions
- Multi-vehicle accidents
- Hit-and-run accidents
- Accidents involving uninsured or underinsured drivers
- Accidents caused by distracted or impaired driving
Common Types of Car Accident Cases I Handle
What to Do After a Car Accident
1. Seek medical attention, even if you feel okay — some injuries take days to appear. 2. Document the scene if you're able to: photos, witness names, and the other driver's insurance information. 3. Be cautious with insurance adjusters — you're not obligated to give a recorded statement before speaking with an attorney. 4. Keep records of any medical visits, missed work, and related expenses. 5. Reach out to me — the sooner I'm involved, the more evidence I can help preserve.
You Stay in Control
Every decision in your case — who's involved, what's shared, when to settle — stays yours.
