Common Causes of Injury in Wyoming

• Car Accidents: In Cheyenne, many of these crashes happen on major roads like Lincolnway and Dell Range Boulevard. 
• Truck Accidents: These are among the most catastrophic accidents due to the size, weight, and speed of commercial trucks on I-25 and I-80. The risk of severe injury increases when trucks are transporting oil, gas, or industrial materials through southeastern Wyoming. 
• Rideshare Accidents: We know what it takes to demand the payout that you need for your losses, including accidents involving Uber or Lyft pickups near Cheyenne Regional Airport or Frontier Mall.
• Motorcycle Accidents: We’re committed to overcoming bias against motorcyclists in claiming their monetary damages, especially after crashes on rural stretches of Happy Jack Road and US-85.
• Pedestrian Accidents: When a car, truck, or other vehicle collides with a pedestrian, the results are often deadly. These collisions frequently occur near schools, parks, or downtown intersections. 
• Workers’ Compensation: Whether the injury happened at an oilfield, distribution center, or construction site, we know how the system works and what it takes to level the playing field with the workers’ comp insurers.
• Construction Injuries: Although the victim may have a workers’ compensation claim against their employer, third parties can also be liable. Property owners, subcontractors, and anyone else besides your employer may have been negligent.
• Product Liability: Dangerous and defective consumer products, medications, auto parts, and medical devices, as well as those with insufficient warning labels, can cause injury. We can help.

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.

After an Injury in Cheyenne: What to Do First

Your health, well-being, and legal rights are our top priority. Anyone who has been injured should take the following steps:

• Seek immediate medical attention: Even if you believe you weren’t injured or your injuries were minor, let a doctor make that call. You have options such as Cheyenne Regional Medical Center, VA Medical Center – Cheyenne, and Urgent Care of Cheyenne.
• Call 911 and report the accident: Call 911 and let law enforcement arrive to document the basic facts of the accident in a police report. If you were hurt on the job, file a written report with your employer or the supervisor to begin the workers’ compensation process.
• Exchange insurance information: After a car accident, you will need to exchange contact and insurance information with the other driver. Do so, but otherwise do not say anything to the driver or their insurance company.
• Do not apologize or admit fault: Never apologize for an accident or admit fault, even if you think you caused it. There may be causes that you are unaware of, so it’s best to limit what you say to anyone besides your lawyer.
• Follow all medical recommendations: Your doctor will recommend a course of treatment, including prescription medications, specialist referral, and follow-up appointments. Not seeing a doctor or following their advice can jeopardize your health and your legal claim.
• Gather evidence concerning the accident: Take pictures and record video of the accident scene and your injuries and property damage. Get witness statements and contact information. Also, write down a detailed description of everything leading up to and right after the accident.

Call Frank Azar Car & Truck Accident Lawyers: The earlier you take this step, the more compensation you are likely to recover. We will handle your accident claim, negotiations and communications with insurance companies, and more.
