How a Lawyer Can Help

Your Wyoming car accident lawyer can investigate the accident, obtain the police report, interview witnesses, review photographs and videos, examine medical records, and gather information about the vehicles involved. Depending on the case, evidence may also include surveillance footage, dash camera recordings, cell phone records, vehicle data, or expert analysis.

We can also calculate the full impact of your injuries. A quick insurance settlement may cover some immediate bills but fail to account for future treatment, lost earning ability, or long-term pain.

Insurance companies may try to place blame on the accident victim. Your attorney can challenge unsupported accusations and present evidence showing how the accident really happened.

Who Is Liable for Your Injuries?

Wyoming follows a modified comparative fault system. This means more than one party may be liable for your injuries. Determining responsibility may require reviewing the actions of everyone involved in the collision.

Evidence such as crash reports, witness statements, photographs, and vehicle records may help establish each party's role. Identifying all liable parties is important because multiple parties may share responsibility for the resulting losses.

Potentially liable parties can include:

A driver who caused the crash
An employer whose employee caused an accident while working
The owner of a vehicle in certain circumstances
A company responsible for a commercial vehicle
A manufacturer responsible for a defective vehicle or part
Other parties whose negligence contributed to the collision

How Negligent Drivers Cause Car Accidents

Many serious Wyoming crashes are preventable. Drivers have a responsibility to use reasonable care and follow traffic laws. A driver who ignores those duties can put everyone nearby in danger.

DUI

Alcohol and drugs can affect judgment, reaction time, coordination, and the ability to safely control a vehicle. An impaired driver may drift between lanes, miss traffic signals, speed, or fail to react to hazards. A DUI-related accident injury claim seeks compensation for the person who was hurt.

Distracted Driving

A driver only needs to look away from the road for a few seconds for a crash to happen. Drivers may become distracted while texting, checking directions, changing music, eating, talking with passengers, reaching for objects, or adjusting controls. Phone records and other evidence showing what a driver was doing immediately before impact may become important in proving negligence.

Unsafe Turns

Drivers must check for approaching traffic, pedestrians, motorcycles, and other hazards before making a turn. A driver who turns without enough space can cause a violent side-impact or head-on collision. Unsafe left turns are particularly dangerous because vehicles may cross directly into the path of oncoming traffic.

Illegal Lane Changes

Changing lanes without checking mirrors and blind spots can cause sideswipe collisions and force other motorists off the road. Drivers may also cause accidents by failing to signal, cutting across several lanes, or moving into a lane without enough room.

Fatigued Driving

A tired driver may have slower reactions and trouble staying focused. Severe fatigue can even cause a driver to fall asleep behind the wheel.

Long trips, demanding work schedules, lack of sleep, and driving late at night can increase the risk. Fatigue becomes particularly dangerous when combined with high speeds or bad weather.

Speeding

Higher speeds can also increase the force of impact, raising the risk of catastrophic injuries. Speeding gives a driver less time to recognize hazards and react to changing road conditions. Higher speeds can also increase the force of impact, raising the risk of catastrophic injuries. When a speeding driver causes a crash, other motorists, passengers, pedestrians, and cyclists may suffer serious or life-changing injuries.

Disobeying Traffic Laws

Drivers who ignore right-of-way rules, signs, lane markings, or other traffic requirements can cause preventable crashes. These violations create dangerous situations for others who are following the rules. A single traffic violation may result in a collision that causes serious injuries.

Running Stop Signs and Red Lights

A driver who runs a red light or stop sign can enter another vehicle's path without warning. These collisions often result in side impact, where occupants have less protection. Witness statements, traffic cameras, vehicle damage, and crash reports can help establish which driver had the right of way.

What Type of Compensation Is Available?

Compensation in a car or truck accident case depends on the injuries, financial losses, available insurance coverage, fault, and other facts. Our team examines the full effect of an accident before we begin negotiating with an insurance company.

A car accident claim may seek compensation for losses such as:

Medical Expenses: Compensation may include emergency treatment, hospital stays, surgery, doctor visits, medication, rehabilitation, physical therapy, and other necessary care.
Future Medical Care: Serious injuries may require treatment for months or years. A settlement should consider reasonably expected future medical needs when supported by the evidence.
Lost Income: If your injuries kept you from working, you may seek compensation for wages and other income lost during recovery.
Loss of Future Earning Ability: Permanent injuries may limit the work you can perform or prevent you from returning to your former career.
Pain and Suffering: Serious injuries can cause physical pain and affect everyday life. These effects may be considered when determining damages.
Property Damage: A claim may include the cost of repairing or replacing a damaged vehicle and other personal property.
Permanent Disability or Disfigurement: Catastrophic injuries may cause permanent limitations, scarring, or changes to a person's independence and quality of life.

Filing a Wrongful Death Claim in Wyoming

When negligence causes a person's death, Wyoming law may allow a wrongful death action. Certain surviving family members may be eligible to receive damages through the claim, depending on their relationship to the deceased person.

Available damages may include compensation for loss of companionship, care, comfort, and other losses resulting from the death. A wrongful death claim can also seek compensation for financial losses, such as lost earnings and financial support the deceased person would have provided.

Injuries Caused by Car Accidents

Even vehicles equipped with modern safety systems cannot prevent every injury. The force of a collision can cause trauma throughout the body, and symptoms are not always obvious immediately after the accident.

Common car accident injuries include:

Traumatic Brain Injuries: A blow or sudden movement of the head may cause a concussion or more serious brain injury. Victims can experience headaches, memory problems, confusion, mood changes, and other lasting symptoms.
Neck and Back Injuries: Whiplash, herniated discs, damaged muscles, and other spinal injuries can cause severe pain and limit mobility.
Spinal Cord Injuries: Serious spinal trauma may cause weakness, loss of sensation, paralysis, and permanent disability.
Broken Bones: Arms, legs, ribs, hips, and other bones may fracture during a violent collision. Some fractures require surgery and lengthy rehabilitation.
Internal Injuries: Damage to internal organs and internal bleeding can become life-threatening and may require emergency treatment.
Cuts and Scarring: Broken glass, metal, and other debris can cause deep cuts that lead to permanent scars or nerve damage.
Shoulder and Knee Injuries: The force of impact can damage joints, ligaments, tendons, and other soft tissues, sometimes requiring surgery.
Psychological Trauma: A serious collision can also have emotional effects. Some people experience anxiety, sleep problems, fear of driving, or other psychological symptoms after a crash.

Reasons to See a Lawyer Right Away

Speaking with a car accident lawyer promptly gives them an opportunity to investigate the collision before evidence disappears or becomes more difficult to obtain. A lawyer can work to secure photographs, surveillance footage, witness statements, police reports, and other information that may help establish what happened.

Early representation can also help you avoid costly mistakes when communicating with insurance companies. Insurers may request statements, records, or other information while evaluating the claim. A lawyer can handle these communications and help protect you from unfair efforts to minimize your claim. Your attorney can also make sure you meet important filing deadlines and other legal requirements.
