Common Causes of Injury in Wyoming
How Much Compensation Can You Recover?
The amount of compensation you can recover from an injury claim depends on various factors, including:
- The seriousness of your injuries and resulting medical expenses
- The impact of your accident on your ability to work
- Whether you are disabled or need long-term care after your accident
- The amount of pain and suffering you experience because of the accident
- How many parties may be liable for your injuries
- The willingness of the insurance companies and lawyers representing the at-fault parties to settle
- The limits of any applicable insurance policies
These factors directly affect the types of damages you may be able to recover, including compensation for medical bills, lost wages, property damage, and future earnings (economic damages), as well as pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life (non-economic damages). In some cases, punitive damages may also be available if the at-fault party’s conduct was especially reckless.
Shared Fault? You May Still Have a Case
Not all accidents are black and white in terms of fault. There are some cases in which the victim was partially to blame for causing their own injuries. For example, the victim may have turned left at an intersection when it was unsafe to do so considering the proximity of the approaching, at-fault driver. But the driver who struck the victim might have been speeding.
In situations like these, the court will have to apportion fault to the plaintiff and to the defendant. The plaintiff’s degree of fault will reduce their compensation accordingly. If, for instance, the victim could have recovered $100,000 but was found to be 20% at fault, the amount will be reduced by 20% ($20,000) and net $80,000 to the victim.
It’s important to know that, in Wyoming, the victim is barred from recovering anything if their fault percentage exceeds that of the defendant. So if the victim is found to be 51% at fault, they cannot recover anything regardless of how bad their injuries are.

Do I need a personal injury lawyer after an accident in Cheyenne?
You may need a Cheyenne personal injury lawyer to help you navigate the claims process and the court system if you have to file a lawsuit. A skilled attorney understands the relevant statutes and court rules, such as civil procedure and evidence. Failure to know these rules will put your claim at risk.
What’s the time limit to file a personal injury lawsuit in Wyoming?
Accident victims have three years from the date of injury to either settle their claim or file a lawsuit. This deadline is known as the statute of limitations. If it expires before you take action, your claim will be dismissed from court.
Will I need to testify or go to court?
Although many personal injury cases settle without a trial, not all do. If a fair settlement cannot be reached in your case then you will need to go to court. You should be prepared to testify on your own behalf, but we will prepare you.
