Proven verdicts and settlements won by Weikum Injury Law
In May 2022 a Williams County jury found that $5,012,500 would compensate Kyle Harris for injuries he suffered in a November 2011 explosion on a North Dakota oil rig operated by Oasis Petroleum, where he was working as an employee of Frontier Pressure Testing, LLC. The jury apportioned 15 percent of the fault to Oasis, 65 percent to Harris's employer, Frontier Pressure Testing, and 20 percent to Harris himself. Under North Dakota's several liability statute the district court reduced Oasis's obligation to a $751,800 principal judgment, then added prejudgment interest and costs for a total of $1,381,297.02. Oasis appealed only the costs award, arguing Harris was not a prevailing party because his own fault exceeded its 15 percent share, and the North Dakota Supreme Court affirmed the full judgment in 2024.
