Personal Injury
We represent clients injured in accidents caused by negligence, including car crashes, slip-and-falls, and workplace incidents. Our team handles medical malpractice, truck accidents, and construction site injuries. With decades of trial experience, we negotiate with insurers and litigate when necessary to secure fair compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Our contingency fee model ensures access to justice without upfront costs.
Wrongful Death
Our firm advocates for families who've lost loved ones due to medical errors, vehicle accidents, or workplace negligence. We help recover compensation for funeral expenses, lost income, and emotional distress. Understanding the emotional and financial toll, we handle all legal complexities while families focus on healing. Our experience includes complex cases involving multiple liable parties and insurance disputes.
Medical Malpractice
We hold healthcare providers accountable for surgical errors, misdiagnoses, and birth injuries. Our cases often involve expert testimony to prove negligence and secure compensation for ongoing care. We navigate Wyoming's medical review panel process and challenge insurance company defenses to maximize recovery. Our track record includes landmark verdicts in this challenging practice area.
Truck Accidents
Truck accident cases require expertise in federal and state transportation regulations. We investigate liability involving trucking companies, maintenance records, and driver logs. Our firm has secured multi-million dollar settlements for clients with catastrophic injuries, working with accident reconstruction experts to prove negligence and counter carrier defenses.
Construction Accidents
We represent workers injured in falls, equipment malfunctions, and safety violations. Our cases often involve third-party claims against contractors or equipment manufacturers. We coordinate workers' compensation claims while pursuing additional damages from liable parties. Our firm understands OSHA regulations and uses root cause analysis to prove systemic safety failures.

Questions
What common mistakes should I avoid when making a personal injury claim?
Avoid giving recorded statements to insurance companies, delaying medical treatment, or discussing case details publicly. Always consult an attorney before making statements or accepting settlement offers.
How do I choose the right attorney for my Wyoming injury claim?
Look for attorneys with courtroom experience, national board certification, and a track record of handling cases similar to yours. Personal compatibility and communication style are also critical factors.
What determines the value of my personal injury case?
Case value depends on medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and the impact on your quality of life. Pre-existing conditions may affect claims but don't automatically disqualify compensation.
Should I take the insurance company's first settlement offer?
No. Initial offers typically undervalue claims. Accepting too soon may prevent you from recovering full compensation for future medical needs or long-term impacts.
How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Wyoming?
Wyoming generally allows four years for wrongful death claims and two years for personal injury cases, but exceptions apply. Consult an attorney promptly to preserve evidence and meet deadlines.
Will my case go to trial?
Most cases settle before trial, but we prepare every case for litigation. Being trial-ready often leads to better settlement negotiations and ensures we're prepared if litigation becomes necessary.
