Not every accident requires an attorney. However, if the accident resulted in injuries or significant property damage, it is a good idea to contact a lawyer. An experienced personal injury attorney can help you navigate the claims process, which can be lengthy and complex.
Your attorney will build your case, keep track of your medical records, negotiate with insurance companies, and represent you in court if necessary. Studies have shown that accident victims who hire a personal injury lawyer can receive settlements up to 3.5 times larger than if they settled on their own.
The best way to know if you have a case is to speak with an attorney. The Advocates offer free consultations—you can speak with a qualified legal team to understand what your case is worth without paying a dime. Once you have decided to hire an Advocate, we will investigate your accident to firmly establish liability.
Every personal injury case is different. There is no one-size-fits-all solution to accident claims. The length of the claims process will depend on the severity of your injuries, the willingness of the other party to settle, the court’s caseload, and more.
In general, personal injury cases can take anywhere from several months to a few years. It’s important to contact an attorney as soon as possible to get your case started. Each state has a statute of limitations for personal injury cases, after which you will lose your right of action.
When you hire The Advocates, we will begin investigating your accident immediately while you finish medical treatment. Once all evidence and medical records have been compiled, your attorney will send a demand letter to the other party’s insurance company. At this point, negotiations will begin.
In many cases, a settlement can be reached during negotiations. If the other party refuses to make a fair offer, you may choose to file a suit. In the litigation phase, your attorney will represent you in court in front of a judge, jury, and/or arbitrator.
For nearly 30 years, The Advocates have helped thousands of personal injury victims receive the compensation and care they deserve after their accidents, and we are prepared to do the same for you.

I was in an accident 3 years ago and had a very bad experience with the attorney back then I was in another accident last year and called the advocates mark and his team were amazing changed my view on accident attorneys they kept I'm touch with me every step of the way gave me authority on choices for myself I didn't have to go with what they said I could go against it and they still would have worked with me the same I had choices this time around I would always go with Mark I have even sent friends his way just cause I appreciate all the help and support the whole way threw.
My experience with the advocates was a good one. After being hit by a car on my motorcycle they helped me with a settlement with the insurance company to get the hospital bills paid. They were extremely helpful. They always answered any questions I had with in a day. Every email I sent was always responded to. If you unfortunately has to go through a injury by another person I would recommend them in helping you resolve any debt you have because if that injury. The Advocates were great to work with and help me get this unfortunate event behind me.
Steve and his crew at The Advocates were nothing short for amazing. They took my case after I was rear-ended resulting in neck surgery. Steve and company made sure all of the was taken care of and that I got the maximum compensation possible. I definitely recommend The Advocates
Mr. Brad Johnson, our lawyer; was Awesome! He was very informative, kept us up to date on my case with regular calls. He returned calls back to us within 24 hours or less. Brad Johnson is very courteous, honest, kind, and a pleasure to talk to and work with. There are very few Lawyers out there that could even come close to the high morals that Brad Johnson has and has shown towards us. We need more lawyers like Brad Johnson . If we ever needed a disability lawyer again in the future; it would be Brad Johnson and The Advocates Firm that he works at. We will definitely turn ALL of our family and friends towards this lawyer and firm; in a heartbeat!!!

Statistics come from the Wyoming Department of Transportation’s crash data.
Depending on the nature of your accident, car accident injuries can range from mild to life-threatening. Some common vehicle collision injuries include:
Wyoming is a modified comparative fault state. Under state law, there may be more than one liable party in your car accident case.
Depending on the nature of your accident, an investigation may be done by local or state police to determine how much fault each driver had in causing the accident.
As long as you are found to be no more than 50% responsible for your accident, you can recover damages from the other party. However, an award of damages will be reduced in proportion to the amount of fault attributed to you.
Your potential settlement will be calculated based on the damages you incurred after your accident. It is impossible to know exactly what kinds of compensation you are entitled to without knowing the specific factual information of your case.
For reference purposes, some common personal injury damages include:
For more specific information as it pertains to your case, contact a Cheyenne car accident attorney. An experienced personal injury attorney with The Advocates can offer you a free initial consultation to determine how much your potential claim may be worth.
After any accident, the most important things you can do are stay calm and remain at the scene. If you panic, you may say or do something that damages your ability to file a claim. If you leave the scene, you may be charged with a hit-and-run.
If you’ve been involved in a motor vehicle accident, be sure to do the following:
After an accident, you should NOT:
Even if you do not decide to file a personal injury claim, these actions may help protect you in the event of legal action from the other party.
For any personal injury case, a plaintiff only has a certain amount of time to file their claim. After that time period is up, they lose their right of action. This is referred to as the statute of limitations.
In Cheyenne and the rest of Wyoming, the statute of limitations for most car accident cases is 4 years from the date of the injury, however there are some exceptions to this and you may have less time to commence a claim. It is a good idea to file your claim much sooner than that.
Personal injury cases can take a long time to settle, so it is a good idea to give yourself as much time as possible before the statute of limitations has run. As soon as you think you may have a case, contact a Cheyenne personal injury lawyer so they may begin working on your claim.
