An action for injury one's person must be commenced within six years of the accrual of the cause of action. N.D. Cent. Code § 28-01-16(5).
Wrongful Death:
"An action for injuries done to the person of another, when death ensues from such injuries, and the claim for relief must be deemed to have accrued at the time of the death of the party injured." N.D. Cent. Code § 28-01-18(4).
