What is a Personal Injury?

In Wyoming, personal injury encompasses physical or psychological harm caused by negligence or intentional acts, such as car accidents, medical malpractice, or slip and falls. These civil lawsuits seek compensation for damages, which the state constitution prevents from being capped.

While Wyoming law provides a four-year statute of limitations to file a claim, immediate legal consultation is critical. Early intervention by an attorney helps preserve time-sensitive evidence, including witness testimony, surveillance footage, and site conditions, while ensuring all injuries are fully documented before settlement negotiations.
