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.
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 don’t 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.
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.

Depending on the nature of your accident and the protective gear you were wearing at the time, motorcycle accident injuries can range from road rash to life-threatening conditions. Some common types of motorcycle accident injuries are:
In the state of Wyoming, a motorcycle is defined as a vehicle that:
For the purpose of registration, this definition includes motorized bikes and scooters, but not mopeds, multipurpose vehicles, electric bicycles, or off-road recreational vehicles.
Lane splitting, or the practice of motorcycles sharing lanes with passenger vehicles to reduce traffic congestion, is illegal in Wyoming.
Motorcycles are entitled to the full use of a lane and may ride no more than two abreast in a single lane. Motorcycles may not share lanes with other motor vehicles.
Minors must wear helmets when operating or riding a motorcycle in Wyoming. The helmet must be securely fastened on the head of the rider, and should meet or exceed the helmet standards set by the American National Standards Institute.
Regardless of the requirements of the law, it is wise for all motorcycle operators or passengers to wear a helmet. Helmets with goggles or face shields help protect the eyes from bugs and debris, which keeps everyone on the road safe.
In order to operate a motorcycle in the state of Wyoming, a person must do the following:
In order to be considered street legal, a motorcycle must have:
If a motorcycle is designed for two people, the passenger must ride upon the permanent, regular seat. If the motorcycle is not designed to carry more than one person, no passengers may ride, unless a sidecar is attached. One passenger may ride in a sidecar.
If you were injured in a motorcycle accident, you will need to prove that the driver of the vehicle was at fault in order to receive any damages. Wyoming is a modified comparative fault state, which means that at least one driver will be found at-fault. Fault may be shared by drivers. If you are found to be partially responsible for the accident, your claim will be reduced accordingly.
The other driver’s insurance company will likely do whatever they can to avoid offering fair compensation. They may try to get you to settle for less than you deserve, diminish the severity of your injuries, or deny liability altogether.
