Frequently Asked Questions

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 do not 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.

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 gather evidence, keep track of your medical records, negotiate with insurance companies, and represent you in court if necessary.

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.

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 several years. It is 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.

Funeral Costs and Other Hardships

Whether you have lost a loved one due to medical malpractice, defective products, or motor vehicle accidents, your family’s financial future can be severely impacted.

The average “affordable” burial costs $5082 in Wyoming, and a cremation costs over $2500. These are merely the beginning of the financial burden of unexpectedly losing a loved one.

A surviving spouse may not have to handle household finances alone. Fortunate spouses can lean on family for some financial support, but even then, the impact on a family’s financial future is massive.

Why Should I Hire a Wyoming Wrongful Death Lawyer?

The pain and suffering of losing a loved one cannot be quantified. The loss of companionship, the small moments where you would turn to that person, and the hole left in your life are beyond the scope of the legal system and can make you forget the financial impact of your loss.

However, the financial impact will not be forgotten for long. After a fatal accident, financial hardships snowball. Between lost wages and medical and funeral costs, the bills pile up quickly, and the surviving family members can feel like they are drowning.

The attorneys with The Advocates Law Office can help you with your wrongful death lawsuit. We treat our clients with care and empathy because we know you have already been through enough hardship.
