It does not matter if you have a minor or serious injury; no wrongful damage is unworthy of a settlement. If you are unsure if your case qualifies as personal injury, contact us today.Our Wyoming attorneys know the hefty price tag of a personal injury. As your ally, we do not want to add a financial burden after a traumatic event like a motor vehicle accident. That is why we only get paid if you win your settlement. Plus, we offer free consultations, no signing fees, and a hand to guide you through the nuances of any legal issues you may come across.
We specialize in Wyoming personal injury law. Our experiences with the nuances of settlements, premises liability, and property damage mean you get complete expertise from beginning to end.
Our lawyers work on a contingency fee basis. Working with The Advocates will not require out-of-pocket costs or insurance deductibles. Our fees are calculated as a percentage of the settlement amount, meaning we only get paid if we win your case.
Wyoming is a modified comparative negligence state. This means you (the claimant) cannot file a claim if your negligence is more than 50% of the total fault. If your contributory negligence is under 50%, your settlement is diminished to the proportion of your fault.
For example, say you get into a car accident. It is determined that you are 40% at fault, and your compensation is $10,000. In this case, you would receive $6,000. If the courts determined you were 55% at fault, you would not get any compensation because your fault exceeds the 50% threshold.
Determining fault is a complicated process, made more difficult if you try to go it alone. It is best to speak with our attorneys and together we can determine your contributory negligence and how that would affect your settlement.
No, not all cases go to trial.
Some are settled out of court. Others require us to take your claim to court, where a judge will give a verdict. The details of your case will affect the length of the process. There is no exact timeframe for when you will get your settlement.
If your attorney recommends going to court, it is often because the at-fault party’s insurance company wants to give you a low settlement. We will likely take your case to trial if the offer is not what you deserve.
Depending on the circumstances of your accident, we can help you get compensation for:
The statute of limitations is generally four years in Wyoming. It is completely understandable if you do not want to seek legal representation right after an injury, though it is usually better to start the process as soon as possible.
Your case will likely go into litigation if the statute of limitations is reached before your settlement, and you often need to finish treating your injuries before a judge can decide what you deserve. An early start gives you and your lawyers ample time to ensure all necessary preparations are made, from completing medical treatments to gathering evidence.
If you have been affected by an accident emotionally or physically, reach out to our law firm. We understand the pain of a personal injury, and with our experience we can help you.
