How we match your Wyoming personal injury case

When you submit a Wyoming personal injury matter, we route it through a national network of independent partner firms and put it in front of the one that fits best — based on the kind of case it is, what it is likely to involve, where it has to be handled, and who has capacity to take it on now.

Case type

A personal injury matter needs someone who handles personal injury work day to day, not a generalist. Practice area is the first filter.

Size and complexity

Some firms are built for catastrophic injury and multi-party litigation; others resolve straightforward claims quickly. We weigh what your matter is likely to involve against how each firm actually works.

Jurisdiction and licensing

Your matter is decided under Wyoming law, so it goes to an attorney licensed in Wyoming who regularly appears where your case would be heard.

Capacity and fit

Availability, conflicts of interest and language all matter. If the best-fit firm cannot take your case, we route it to the next one that can — or tell you plainly when no one in the network is the right answer.

Every partner reviews your case for free. Injury and workers’ compensation matters are handled on contingency — no fee unless you win. Other matters are quoted upfront, before you commit to anything.

DearLegal provides marketing and matching services and is not a law firm. Submitting a case does not create an attorney-client relationship. Matches depend on case type, jurisdiction and firm availability.

Demand and negotiation.
Your attorney sends a demand and negotiates with the insurer. Wyoming’s fault rule matters here — Modified comparative fault, 51% bar (Wyo. Stat. § 1-1-109) — no recovery if your fault is greater than 50%.
Before the 4-year deadline
Suit is filed if it has to be.
Wyoming gives 4 years from the date it happened. Filing keeps your leverage; missing it ends the claim.
Resolution
Settlement or verdict.
You pay nothing along the way. The fee — typically 33% — comes only out of what’s recovered. If nothing is recovered, you owe nothing.

Statute of Limitations: 4 years
4 years from the date of injury (Wyo. Stat. § 1-3-105)
Fault Rule: 51%
Modified comparative fault, 51% bar (Wyo. Stat. § 1-1-109) — no recovery if your fault is greater than 50%

Government-Claim Notice: 2 years
Wyoming Governmental Claims Act (Wyo. Stat. § 1-39-113): written notice within 2 years; suit within 1 year of receipt or denial of claim.
Joint and Several Liability: Bolished
Largely abolished — Wyoming applies several liability under Wyo. Stat. § 1-1-109, with apportionment among all responsible parties.
Typical attorney fee: 33%
33%–40% contingency — no fee unless you win

Wyoming applies modified comparative fault with a 51% bar under Wyo. Stat. § 1-1-109 — recovery is barred if your fault is greater than 50%. The standard PI SOL is four years under Wyo. Stat. § 1-3-105. The Wyoming Governmental Claims Act (Wyo. Stat. § 1-39-101 et seq.) requires written notice of claim within 2 years (with one-year-after-discovery filing of suit) and caps damages at $250,000 per claimant / $500,000 per occurrence. Wyoming’s ranching and energy economy, vast geography, and tourism corridor (Yellowstone, Grand Teton, Jackson Hole) generate distinctive cases — including many involving out-of-state visitors and large interstate trucking on I-80.

Most Wyoming personal injury attorneys work on contingency: the fee is a share of what they recover, and nothing if they don’t.

Personal injury attorneys in Wyoming work on a contingency fee basis — typically 33% to 40% of the total recovery. Wyoming’s long 4-year SOL gives flexibility, but Governmental Claims Act notice and tourist-plaintiff logistics require careful planning. Case expenses are typically advanced by the firm and deducted from the final recovery.

What your Wyoming personal injury compensation can include

A Wyoming personal injury recovery is built from several parts. Tap one to see what it covers.

Economic Damages (No Cap in standard PI)

Past and future medical bills, lost wages, lost earning capacity, and out-of-pocket costs — uncapped in standard PI cases. Governmental Claims Act caps apply in government cases.

Four years from the date of injury under Wyo. Stat. § 1-3-105. Wrongful death is two years from death under § 1-38-102. Wyoming Governmental Claims Act notice must be filed within 2 years under § 1-39-113.

Under Wyo. Stat. § 1-1-109, your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault, but if your fault is greater than 50% you recover nothing.

Auto, truck, and motorcycle crashes (with substantial I-80 trucking volume); ranching and energy-industry injuries; slip-and-falls; recreational injuries (Yellowstone, Grand Teton, Jackson Hole ski); dog bites; defective products; medical malpractice; nursing home neglect; premises liability; negligent security; workplace third-party claims; and wrongful death.

You look at your own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage, homeowner’s or commercial policies, and any vicarious-liability defendants. Wyoming requires UM coverage and offers UIM with written rejection rules.

Most settle, but Laramie, Natrona, and Teton county juries return real verdicts when liability is clear. The small Wyoming legal community means defense and plaintiff counsel often know each other well.

The Wyoming Governmental Claims Act applies. You must file written notice within 2 years under § 1-39-113, and damages are capped at $250K/claimant and $500K/occurrence under § 1-39-118.

Wyoming personal injury attorneys typically take cases on a contingency basis — no upfront cost, and they’re paid a percentage of the recovery only if they win. Typical fees range from 33% to 40% depending on whether the case settles or goes to trial. Case expenses are normally advanced by the firm.
