Every year, there are nearly half a million burn injuries. Some 40,000 of them require hospitalization, many of them are at hospital burn centers ¹. A serious burn injury can cause irreparable damage. It can render you unable to work or even enjoy daily life. The associated medical costs can jump into the hundreds of thousands range. Finally, the emotional and psychological toll can be grave.

At Schweigert, Klemin & McBride, P.C., we have assisted individuals who have suffered serious burn injuries, as well as their families, for years. Operating out of Bismarck but representing clients across North Dakota, Minnesota and the surrounding states, we strive to pursue the maximum compensation for our clients.

Experienced Representation In Burn Injury Matters

While first- and second-degree burns can be serious and impact your life, third-degree burns are usually devastating.

They are extremely serious, and cause significant pain to those afflicted.

• Workplace fires
• Oilfield fires
• Explosions
• Car accidents

In addition, we assist clients who have been injured due to chemical or electrical burns.

Compassionate Counsel For Brain Injury Victims

A traumatic brain injury (TBI) is inevitably life-altering. Life is often drastically different for those injured and their families. The ability to work is more often than not gone, and it can be difficult to even perform basic tasks. In these situations, families are often overwhelmed with medical bills and other expenses, while they are scrambling to adjust to a new reality, often with a primary breadwinner exiting the picture.

At Schweigert, Klemin & McBride, P.C., we fight on behalf of residents in North Dakota and the neighboring states who have suffered traumatic brain damage. Our attorneys understand the consequences of a TBI, and work with clients to pursue claims aimed at getting you the compensation you need to be financially secure

Helping You Position Yourself For Your Future

A brain injury requires a lot of medical attention, and can take an enormous personal, financial and emotional toll. Particularly in our region, such injuries can occur on the oilfields, which means that a family dependent on an oilfield worker is now left without a source of income.

At SKM, we’ll work with you to recover compensation that can be used to cover:

• Physical therapy
• Medical expenses, including hospital stays and checkups
• Emotional and psychological counseling
• Lost wages
• Projected lost earnings

Often, these require significant monetary compensation. We’ll work with professionals to help determine the cause of the accident, as well as the right way to proceed with your claim.

Losing A Limb Will Impact All Parts Of Your Life. We Can Help You Seek Compensation.

Losing a limb can be one of the most shocking experiences. Whether it occurs due to an accident on the roads, on an oilfield or elsewhere, even losing a finger can severely hinder your quality of life and ability to work. Other losses, such as losing an arm or a leg, will require large-scale changes to your lifestyle, and may even render you completely unable to work in your field.

In these circumstances, the attorneys at Schweigert, Klemin & McBride, P.C., can help you and loved ones recover compensation to cover medical bills and other expenses, as well as lost wages and other damages. Operating from our Bismarck office, we have helped clients in North Dakota and across the region who are struggling to recuperate after an amputation injury.

Easing Your Burdens

The practical concerns of a catastrophic injury are often the first that need to be addressed. Namely, how will you cover the enormous financial costs of care, rehabilitation and recovery? At SKM, our lawyers will work with you to recover the maximum compensation you are entitled to. In addition, we bring in life-care planners and other professionals to help you adjust to the loss of limb.

However, an amputation is often a thoroughly emotional experience, which may be accompanied by post-traumatic stress disorder, phantom limb syndrome or other ailments that may negatively impact your life.

We’ll work with you and your loved ones to obtain the compensation you deserve and help plan for your life after the loss of a limb.
