North Dakota Personal Injury Statute of Limitations: 2026 Window, Long SOL vs Short Government Notice, and Common Pitfalls

North Dakota's general personal-injury statute of limitations is six years under NDCC 28-01-16, one of the longest in the country. The traps: a 180-day notice requirement under the State Tort Claims Act (NDCC 32-12.2) and the Political Subdivision Tort Claims Act (NDCC 32-12.1), modified comparative fault with a 50% bar under NDCC 32-03.2-02, and damage caps on government claims.
