How Negligence Causes Personal Injuries

Negligence generally involves the failure to use reasonable care under the circumstances. When that failure causes someone else to suffer an injury, the injured person may have grounds for a personal injury claim.

Examples of negligence include:

  • Speeding
  • Texting while driving
  • Driving under the influence of alcohol
  • Making unsafe turns
  • Ignoring traffic signals
  • Failing to address dangerous property conditions
  • Failing to properly control a dog
  • Failing to take reasonable safety measures

A successful claim depends on evidence connecting negligent conduct to the accident victim's injuries and resulting losses. Insurance companies may dispute this connection. They might argue that their client did nothing wrong, that another person caused the accident, or that the injured person contributed to what happened. That's why you need someone on your side fighting for your interests.

Who Is Liable for Your Injuries?

A negligent driver may be responsible for a traffic accident. A property owner may be responsible for dangerous conditions in some premises liability cases. A business or employer may also bear responsibility depending on the facts.

Potentially liable parties can include:

  • Drivers
  • Vehicle owners
  • Employers
  • Trucking companies
  • Property owners
  • Businesses
  • Contractors
  • Dog owners
  • Nursing homes
  • Other individuals or organizations whose negligence contributed to an injury

Some cases involve more than one responsible party. For example, a commercial vehicle crash might involve both a driver and a company. A construction accident may involve contractors, property owners, or other businesses. Determining every potentially responsible party is important because it can affect the available sources of compensation.

Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle

Steven Titus & Associates, P.C. represents clients in a wide range of accident and injury matters throughout Wyoming.

Car Accidents

Car crashes are among the most common causes of preventable injuries. Speeding, distracted driving, impaired driving, unsafe lane changes, and other dangerous behaviors can cause devastating collisions. We can investigate the crash, deal with insurance companies, and pursue compensation for injuries and other covered losses.

Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcyclists have little physical protection when a collision occurs. Even a rider wearing protective equipment can suffer severe injuries after being hit by a vehicle. Motorcycle cases may also involve unfair assumptions about riders. Your attorney can use evidence from the accident to establish what actually happened and challenge unsupported allegations of fault.

Truck Accidents

Large commercial trucks can cause catastrophic damage because of their size and weight. Truck accidents may involve driver negligence, fatigue, unsafe operation, or other factors. These cases can be complicated because more than one party may bear responsibility. Prompt investigation can be particularly important for preserving evidence.

Slip and Fall

Falls can result in broken bones, head injuries, back injuries, and other serious harm. In some situations, a dangerous condition on another person's property may lead to a premises liability claim. Examples may include hazardous walking surfaces, spills, ice, poor maintenance, or other unsafe conditions. Liability depends on the specific circumstances surrounding the fall.

Dog Bites

Dog attacks can cause puncture wounds, scars, infections, nerve damage, and emotional trauma. Children can be particularly vulnerable to severe injuries. Our legal team can investigate the circumstances of the attack and determine what options may be available for seeking compensation.

Pedestrian Accidents

Pedestrians are vulnerable when struck by cars, trucks, or other vehicles. A person on foot may suffer traumatic brain injuries, broken bones, spinal injuries, or other life-changing harm. Drivers may cause pedestrian crashes by speeding, failing to yield, driving while distracted, or ignoring traffic signals.

Bicycle Accidents

Cyclists can suffer severe injuries when drivers fail to safely share the road. A collision may occur when a motorist turns into a cyclist's path, fails to yield, drives distracted, or does not leave enough room. Evidence from the crash can help determine whether the driver's actions caused the cyclist's injuries.

Nursing Home Neglect and Abuse

Older adults and other vulnerable residents depend on nursing facilities and caregivers for their safety and basic needs. Neglect or abuse can cause serious physical and emotional harm.

Warning signs may include unexplained injuries, falls, poor hygiene, sudden behavioral changes, or other concerning conditions. Families who suspect mistreatment should take their concerns seriously and seek appropriate help.

Construction Accidents

Construction sites contain heavy machinery, elevated work areas, electrical hazards, moving vehicles, and other dangers. Serious accidents can result in brain injuries, spinal trauma, burns, fractures, amputations, and permanent disabilities.

Determining legal responsibility may require examining the roles of contractors, property owners, equipment operators, and other parties involved with the site.

Boat Accidents

Wyoming's lakes and waterways provide many opportunities for boating, but careless operation can cause serious injuries. Boating accidents may involve excessive speed, operator inattention, alcohol use, unsafe maneuvering, or other negligent behavior. An investigation can help establish what caused the accident and whether another person may be legally responsible.

How a Lawyer Can Help

A personal injury claim involves much more than telling an insurance company that someone was hurt. You need evidence showing how the accident happened, who was responsible, and how your injuries have affected your life.

A Wyoming personal injury attorney can handle important parts of your claim, including:

  • Investigating the accident: Your attorney can determine how the incident happened and gather evidence before important information disappears.
  • Collecting evidence: This may include accident reports, photographs, videos, witness statements, medical records, employment information, and insurance documents.
  • Identifying responsible parties: Your attorney can determine who may be legally responsible for your injuries and what insurance coverage may apply.
  • Calculating your damages: Your losses may include medical bills, future treatment, lost income, reduced earning ability, pain, and permanent disability.
  • Handling insurance companies: Our team can communicate with insurance adjusters and respond to questions, requests, and settlement offers on your behalf.
  • Negotiating for compensation: Your attorney can build and present your claim while negotiating for a settlement that fairly reflects your losses.
  • Preparing for litigation: If the insurance company refuses to offer fair compensation, your attorney can pursue litigation when appropriate.

Filing a Wrongful Death Claim in Wyoming

When negligence causes a fatal accident, certain family members may be eligible to receive compensation through a Wyoming wrongful death claim. Depending on the circumstances, recoverable damages may include loss of financial support, companionship, care, and services. Compensation may also cover applicable funeral and burial expenses and other losses allowed under Wyoming law.

Seeking Compensation After a Wyoming Personal Injury

A serious injury can create losses that continue long after the original accident. When pursuing compensation, it is important to consider both the immediate and long-term effects of the injury.

Insurance companies may focus on current expenses without fully considering how an injury could affect your future. Before accepting a settlement, you should understand the complete value of your losses.

Your attorney can review medical records, employment information, treatment needs, and other evidence to determine the damages that may be available. Building a detailed claim can help show how the injury has affected your health, finances, ability to work, and everyday life.

Depending on the circumstances, damages may involve:

  • Medical Expenses: Hospital care, emergency treatment, surgery, doctor visits, medication, rehabilitation, and other necessary medical services can create significant costs.
  • Future Medical Care: Some injuries require additional surgery, therapy, medical equipment, or continuing treatment.
  • Lost Income: An injured person may lose wages while recovering or attending medical appointments.
  • Reduced Earning Ability: A permanent injury may prevent someone from returning to the same job or earning the same income in the future.
  • Pain and Suffering: Serious injuries can cause physical pain and interfere with daily activities and quality of life.
  • Permanent Disability and Disfigurement: Some accidents leave victims with permanent physical limitations, scarring, or other lasting changes.
  • Property Damage: Vehicle accidents and similar incidents may also result in damage to personal property.
