N.D. Cent. Code § 12.1-38-02
12.1-38-02. Perpetrator's assumption of the risk
12.1-38-02. Perpetrator's assumption of the risk
A perpetrator assumes the risk of loss, injury, or death resulting from or arising out of a
course of criminal conduct involving a crime, as defined in this chapter, engaged in by the
perpetrator or an accomplice, as defined in section 12.1-03-01, and the crime victim is immune
from and not liable for any damages as a result of acts or omissions of the victim if the victim
used reasonable force as authorized in section 12.1-05-03 or 12.1-05-04. However, the
perpetrator's assumption of risk does not eliminate the crime victim's duty to protect against
conditions upon the premises which the crime victim knows or has reason to know may create
an unreasonable risk of harm or which may cause a foreseeable trespass by minors, nor does
the assumption of risk apply to perpetrators who are mentally incompetent or deficient.
