After a Motor Vehicle Accident, Get a Trial Lawyer
A motor vehicle accident can cause physical, emotional, and financial injury. It can also cause death. Suffering a loss because of another’s negligence, carelessness, or even recklessness is not a burden a victim should bear.
Many lawyers can talk to you about your legal rights, write a tough letter, and negotiate with an insurance adjuster. These lawyers can sometimes get good results for their clients. However, the only reason insurance companies pay money to the victims of personal injury is because a victim has the right to present your injuries to a jury and get a verdict in your favor, and because trial lawyers in North Dakota and throughout the United States have taken and won personal injury cases in front of juries.
Speak Softly, but Carry a Big Stick
A motor vehicle accident can cause physical, emotional, and financial injury. It can also cause death. Suffering a loss because of another’s negligence, carelessness, or even recklessness is not a burden a victim should bear.

You need a lawyer who has the experience to know the difference between the case you have and the case the insurance adjuster says you have. To get the best value for your case from the insurance adjuster, you need a trial lawyer with the ability to successfully take your case to a verdict. Experience matters.

Our Track Record: Successful Motor Vehicle Accident Cases
Our trial experience and thorough investigative approach have secured substantial recoveries for the injured in Burleigh and Morton counties.
Proven Results In Complex Cases
Attorney Leibel brings proven courtroom success to every case. As part of a litigation team, he achieved a jury award exceeding $53 million for a seriously injured plaintiff following extensive trial proceedings. This result ranked among New Mexico’s largest single-plaintiff personal injury verdicts at that time. Since returning to North Dakota, he has obtained jury verdicts totaling over two and a half million dollars in state and federal courts.
We have successfully represented clients in wrongful death claims arising from highway collisions, motorcycle crash cases involving traumatic brain injuries, pedestrian accident matters and automobile collision disputes. In one matter, we secured substantial compensation for a motorcyclist who sustained life-altering injuries when another driver violated right-of-way rules. The insurance carrier initially disputed fault and injury severity. Through accident reconstruction analysis and medical expert testimony, we proved liability and demonstrated the full extent of damages.
Another case involved a pedestrian struck while lawfully crossing a roadway. The defense questioned whether the injuries caused permanent impairment. We collaborated with neurological specialists and rehabilitation professionals to document lasting cognitive deficits affecting employment capacity. The settlement achieved full policy limits without trial.
How We Investigate Your Motor Vehicle Accident Case
Our comprehensive investigative process maximizes claim value through meticulous evidence gathering. We take deliberate steps to build the strongest possible case:
- Obtaining and analyzing police reports, crash reconstruction data and accident scene photographs
- Interviewing eyewitnesses and locating additional witnesses through investigation
- Consulting accident reconstruction experts who analyze physical evidence and vehicle dynamics
- Reviewing medical records while working with treating physicians to document injury extent
- Using medical experts to testify about causation, prognosis and future treatment needs
- Requesting traffic camera footage, dashcam video and surveillance recordings
- Analyzing insurance policies to identify all available coverage sources
- Gathering employment records to prove lost wages and diminished earning capacity
Our personalized service means your attorney handles your case directly. We keep you informed throughout the process, explain your options clearly and never pressure you to accept inadequate settlements. Insurance companies recognize our trial experience and understand we will successfully present cases to juries when fair settlement offers are not made. Our contingency fee structure means you pay no legal fees unless we recover compensation for you.
Personalized And Reliable Advocacy For Your Rights
At Knoll Leibel LLP, your ability to pay for the best is not a factor in personal injury cases. We take motor vehicle cases on contingency fee agreements, and our legal fees get paid only when we recover money for you. We provide free consultations for individuals hurt in accidents.
You can expect a detailed and personal interview with your attorney, where the accident and your injuries are discussed. Once you sign a contract with us, we notify insurance companies and other parties that you are represented by an attorney and that all communications need to run through us. We then begin the process of investigating your accident. While every case is different, this can involve finding accident reports, interviewing witnesses, talking to law enforcement, gathering medical records and bills, asking questions from your treating health care providers, hiring expert witnesses, and managing questions from the insurance companies.
Once the investigation is complete, we will discuss our findings and conclusions about your case, the issues in your case, and the value of your case for the purpose of giving the other side a chance to resolve the case without the filing of a lawsuit. Sometimes we are able to achieve a settlement without filing a lawsuit. If we decide you are not being given a fair offer, we can jointly decide to proceed with a lawsuit.
Our guiding star is ensuring that you understand your rights, understand the process, understand the value of your claim, and understand that you have experienced and aggressive lawyers standing behind you if you are not treated fairly.
