We’ve all slipped on something and fallen. Usually, we brush ourselves off and go about our day, maybe feeling a little embarrassed. Unfortunately, sometimes, it’s much worse and leads to serious injuries and seemingly endless medical bills.
Falls actually cause more traumatic brain injuries than car accidents, motorcycle accidents, or any other singular cause in the United States. A simple fall can cause significant damage and can happen at any time.
You don’t have to be alone after an injury. Although any injury can leave you feeling lost and hopeless, we want to help. A personal injury attorney with The Wyoming Advocates can help you on your road to recovery. Contact us today!

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.
For nearly 30 years, The Advocates have helped thousands of personal injury victims receive fair compensation and care they deserve after their accidents, and we are prepared to do the same for you.

All personal injury claims are subject to the statute of limitations, the time limit for filing a claim. If you plan to file a slip-and-fall lawsuit, you must do it before the statute of limitations expires.
In Wyoming, the statute of limitations for personal injury accident cases is four years. This seems like a long time, but navigating the claims process can take months or even years. Contacting a personal injury lawyer as soon as you believe you have a case is a good idea.

These are just examples. A personal injury attorney can help you determine what you can claim, as no two cases are the same.
Obtaining the financial compensation you deserve can be difficult and stressful when you have been injured because of hazardous conditions on another person’s property. The at-fault party’s insurance company will likely do everything possible to avoid offering you a fair settlement.
