How Much Will I Have to Pay for a Gillette Advocate?

Some injury victims are hesitant to contact an attorney for fear of steep attorney fees. Fortunately, with an Advocate, you will pay nothing up front. After you hire us, we get started on your case right away.

Our fees are calculated as a percentage of the settlement. This means that we only get paid if we win your case. There are no other fees associated with working with The Advocates.

How Do I Know I Have a Personal Injury Case?

Wyoming is an at-fault state, which means that the party responsible for an accident is responsible for damages. 

Several people can have some level of fault in an accident. Wyoming has a comparative fault statute (WY Stat § 1-1-109) to determine how much fault each party involved in an accident has. You can only pursue compensation if you are less than 50% at fault.

For example, if you are found to be 20% at fault for a car accident, you can claim 80% of your total damages.

Determining fault is complex. An experienced personal injury attorney can help assess how much fault you carry and how much you can claim.

Do All Cases Go to Trial?

No two personal injury cases are the same, and not all need to go to trial. In fact, most injury cases are settled during negotiations and do not see the inside of a courtroom.

We will only go to trial for your case if necessary. This happens if the insurance company doesn’t make a fair settlement offer for the damage you have suffered. 

There are no guarantees in law, so determining what your case may be worth and whether we need to go to trial happens on a case-by-case basis.

What Type of Damages Can I Sue For?

Depending on your circumstances, we can help you get compensation for: 

  • Lost wages
  • Mental and physical pain and suffering
  • Loss of future earnings
  • Medical bills
  • Property damage
  • Funeral expenses (in the case of the wrongful death of a loved one)

The best way to know what types of damages you may recover is to speak with an experienced attorney. Contact The Advocates for a free consultation–we will explain your legal options and answer your questions at no cost.

Statue of limitations

How Long Do I Have to File a Lawsuit?

The statute of limitations for filing a personal injury claim in Wyoming is typically four years. Generally, it is best to start working on your case as soon as possible.  Doing so allows evidence and testimony to be clear and current, often making your claim more substantial and giving your team more time to prepare your case.

Once the statute of limitations expires, you lose your right to file a claim. The sooner you contact an Advocate, the sooner we can begin gathering evidence and assisting in your recovery.
