Types of accidents in the North Dakota oil fields.

Oil and gas field accidents such as blowouts can cause fatal burn injuries and other injuries. Accidents caused by heavy equipment and defective parts can result in catastrophic injuries and head injuries to roughnecks, truck drivers and other workers. Often, companies racing to extract the oil and gas from the ground do not follow safety standards. As a result, in the North Dakota Bakken oil and gas fields, workers and nearby residents face an elevated risk of serious injury and death from:

  • Gas truck accidents
  • Gas and oil explosions
  • Exposure to toxic chemicals
  • Heavy equipment accidents
  • Tool pusher accidents
  • Falls
  • Drilling rig accidents
  • Gas field accidents

These events can cause a range of catastrophic injuries, such as:

  • Broken bones — Severe fractures can result in permanent impairment.
  • Burns — Third degree burns are disfiguring and diminish tissue function, leaving the victim vulnerable to deadly infections. Painful procedures such as skin grafts are necessary to restore health, but in many cases, amputation of injured limbs is necessary.
  • Dismemberment — Loss of limb leads to permanent disability.
  • Brain injuries — Concussive force or a foreign object penetrating the cranium can damage brain tissue, diminishing motor function, speech and memory. Mood swings and personality changes are also common.
  • Spinal cord injury — Nerve damage anywhere along the spinal column can cause permanent paralysis below the point of injury.

These types of injuries are life-altering and require compensation for the lifetime of the victim.

The Schafer Law Firm, P.A. accepts oilfield injury cases on a contingency fee basis. Therefore, you pay no legal fees until we recover compensation for you. With more than 20 years of experience, Mr. Schafer has the necessary skills to fight for the rights of injury victims and their families.
