"North Dakota personal injury law is a set of rules that govern the liability of individuals and businesses for injuries that they cause to others. The law is designed to compensate victims of negligence for their injuries and losses.

To be successful in a personal injury lawsuit in North Dakota, the plaintiff must prove the following four elements:

Duty of care: The defendant owed the plaintiff a duty of care. This means that the defendant had a legal obligation to act reasonably and to avoid causing harm to the plaintiff.
Breach of duty: The defendant breached their duty of care by failing to act reasonably. This could be because the defendant acted negligently or intentionally.
Causation: The defendant's breach of duty caused the plaintiff's injuries. This means that the plaintiff's injuries would not have occurred but for the defendant's actions.
Damages: The plaintiff suffered damages as a result of their injuries. This could include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and emotional distress.

If the plaintiff can prove all four elements, they will be entitled to recover damages from the defendant. The amount of damages that the plaintiff can recover will depend on the specific facts of the case.
