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.
Your initial consultation with us is always 100% free. There are never any upfront costs or hidden fees when you hire The Advocates.
Our attorneys work on a contingency basis, which means that our attorney fees are calculated as a percentage of your settlement. You will not pay us unless we win your case, and you receive a settlement.
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!!!

Depending on the nature of your accident, car accident injuries can range from mild to life-threatening. Some common vehicle collision injuries include:
Wyoming has one of the highest maximum speed limits in the United States. On many stretches of rural and urban interstate, the speed limit is 80 miles per hour. On other highways and limited-access roads, the highest speed limit is 70 miles per hour.
The penalties for speeding in Wyoming generally come in the form of fines. The higher above the speed limit you were traveling when pulled over, the higher the fine will be.
The state of Wyoming does not currently have a law restricting the use of handheld devices to make or receive phone calls while driving. However, the law does prohibit texting while driving.
The exceptions to the texting ban include:
Regardless of the law, it is important that motorists refrain from engaging in any activity that might distract them from the task of driving. Activities that have been shown to take drivers’ attention away from the road include:
There are three ways a driver may be convicted of a DUI:
For a first DUI offense, maximum penalties are as follows:
For more DUI offenses, penalties increase, including mandatory jail time.
In the case of a drunk driving accident, the impaired driver will usually be found at-fault. If you’ve been in a car crash with a drunk driver, contact The Advocates to get started on the road to recovery.
Under Wyoming law, any driver involved in an accident with a person, object, or another vehicle, must stop as close to the scene of the accident as is safe. The driver has a duty to ensure injured parties receive aid from a medical professional and exchange information with the other driver. Failure to do so is considered a hit-and-run.
If you’ve been involved in a motor vehicle accident, be sure to do the following:
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 Wyoming, the statute of limitations for car accident cases is 4 years from the date of the injury. However, 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 is up. As soon as you think you may have a case, contact a personal injury lawyer so they may begin working on your claim.
If you were injured in a car accident, you will need to prove that the other driver was at fault in order to receive any damages. Wyoming is a modified comparative negligence state, meaning that you may still be able to receive a settlement, even if you were partially responsible for the accident.
As long as you are less than 51% at fault, you may be able to collect damages; however, your settlement will be reduced by the amount of responsibility you had for the accident.
Insurance companies will do just about anything they can to avoid giving you a fair settlement offer. They may try to diminish the severity of your injuries or deny liability altogether. Fighting with insurance providers can be a frustrating, stressful experience that is detrimental to your recovery.
