Casper Slip and Fall Lawyer

If you’ve been injured in a slip and fall in Wyoming, The Advocates are here to guide you every step of the way and help you get the compensation you deserve.

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!

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.

Wyoming Slip and Fall Statistics

Wyoming slip, trip, and fall statistics 

  • The highest rates of fall accidents happen to people who are over 65 years old, people with disabilities, and people who live in rural areas.

Common causes of slip and fall accidents

A fall can happen anywhere, at any time. Certain circumstances can increase the risk of slips, trips, and falls: 

  • Unmarked wet floors: When a spill happens in a public space, like a grocery store, it should be marked off and cleaned as quickly as possible. 
  • Uneven floors: Damaged surfaces, cracks in pavement, and loose carpeting or floorboards can all be tripping hazards. 
  • Unsafe stairways: Falling on steep, narrow stairways or stairways without handrails is a significant risk. 
  • Falls from work equipment: Many workers’ compensation claims result from slips and falls while working, especially when moving from one level to another. 
  • Icy walkways: Snow and ice can quickly build up, creating slippery surfaces in parking lots and on sidewalks.

Who is at fault for my slip and fall accident

If you have been injured in a slip-and-fall accident on someone else’s property, you need to prove negligence by establishing the following

  • Duty of Care: The defendant owned, leased, occupied, insured, or controlled the property and was responsible for keeping it safe. 
  • Breach of duty: The property owner was negligent and aware of hazardous conditions
  • Causation: The dangerous conditions on the property caused the injury. 
  • Damages: The plaintiff suffered damages such as medical expenses, loss of income, pain and suffering, and even funeral expenses for a loved one due to the property owner’s negligence. 

An experienced slip-and-fall lawyer can help you determine whether you have a case.

What is the statute of limitations for slips and falls? 

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. 

The accident attorneys with The Advocates personal injury law firm can help you get started on your injury claim immediately. Contact us for a free consultation.

  • Medical bills 
  • Lost wages and loss of future earnings 
  • Non-economic damages, such as pain and suffering 
  • Funeral and burial expenses, in the case of wrongful death

Why Should I Hire a Wyoming Slip and Fall Attorney?


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. 

The Advocates injury attorneys will take on negotiations with these multi-million dollar corporations. We will take your case to court if they refuse to make a fair offer for your slip-and-fall claim.

At The Advocates, we understand you are more than an accident victim. We have years of experience in helping people when they are struggling. You don’t have to face things alone.
