Frequently Asked Questions

You will pay nothing out-of-pocket when you hire an Advocate. 

Your initial consultation with us is always 100% free. There are never any upfront costs or hidden fees. 

Our attorneys work on a contingency basis, which means that our attorney fees are calculated as a percentage of your settlement. We do not get paid unless we win your case, and you receive a settlement. 

For more information on how settlements and payment work, please see our contingency fee information page. 

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 gather evidence, keep track of your medical records, negotiate with insurance companies, and represent you in court if necessary.

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.

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 several years. It is 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.

Breaking Down Wyoming Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle helmet law in Wyoming  

Anyone under 18 must wear a helmet. You do not have to wear a helmet if you are older than 18, but you should.  

Every study on motorcycle helmets shows that they significantly reduce fatality rates and head injuries. The Department of Transportation has a great page on how to choose the right helmet.   

Helmets can lessen the chance of a fatality during a motorcycle crash. Even though Wyoming law does not require riders to wear one, the effectiveness of helmets in protecting riders cannot be overstated. 

Telling Statistics on Motorcycle Accidents 

  • Close to 60 percent of fatalities and incapacitating injuries occurred in motorcycle riders and passengers who were not wearing a helmet  
  • 21 percent of single rural motorcycle crashes involved run-off-road 
  • 69 percent of multi-vehicle urban crashes with motorcycle involvement were intersection/interchange/driveway related 
  • 19 percent of all motorcycle crashes occurred during reduced visibility conditions  
  • Of all motorcycle-related crashes, 18.4 percent involved speeding, 10.7 percent involved alcohol, and 6.4 percent involved animal collision

Understanding Motorcycle Accident Claims and Personal Injury Law

Statute of limitations for motorcycle accidents    

The statute of limitations to file a personal injury claim is four years. Failure to file a motorcycle accident claim within this timeframe may result in losing your right to seek compensation. 

How fault for a personal injury claim is determined    

Wyoming uses a modified comparative negligence rule to portion out fault for all types of accidents, from truck accidents to dog bites. Each party is assigned a certain percentage of fault.   

You can seek compensation only if your fault is less than 50%. Fault is based on evidence like:  

  • Photos and videos  
  • Witness testimony   
  • Police reports  
  • Physical evidence like vehicle damage and medical care for those involved in the accident 
Policeman writing up report on incident where their was a person injured
Medical bill from the hospital, concept of rising medical cost.

What damages can you seek fair compensation for?  

A fair settlement compensates you for damages and losses you suffered. It might include:  

  • Medical expenses  
  • Lost wages  
  • Pain and suffering  
  • Property damage  
  • Funeral expenses for the wrongful death of a loved one  

What to do immediately after a motorcycle wreck    

The minutes after a motorcycle accident can be overwhelming. As much as possible, try to stay calm and follow these steps:    

  • Ensure immediate safety: Check for pressing injuries and remain in a safe location.    
  • Call the police: Report the accident and request a police report.    
  • Seek medical attention: If you are injured, go to the hospital immediately, even if injuries seem minor.    
  • Exchange information: Exchange information with the adverse driver. Be sure to obtain the adverse driver’s insurance and contact information, driver’s license, license plate number, and other identifying information.   
  • Gather evidence: Take photos of the scene, the damage, and any visible injuries. Obtain the contact’s name, phone number, and address of any witnesses.    
  • Consult an Advocate personal injury attorney: Seek legal representation to understand your rights and what steps you should take next.    
  • Document everything: Keep detailed records of the accident, medical care, and related communications.    
  • Avoid admitting fault: Do not admit fault at the scene. This could negatively impact your personal injury claim.
