Wrongful Death Wyoming

Wrongful Death Attorneys in Wyoming

The death of a loved one is always heartrending, even more so when their death was someone else’s fault, through misconduct or negligence. Nothing can bring your loved one back, but if your family suffered the wrongful death of a family member, you can seek out legal options and compensation. 

According to Wyoming law, family members who have lost a loved one may be able to file a claim for wrongful death. Wrongful death refers to when a person or an entity’s default liability, misconduct, or negligence result in the death of another person, and where, if the deceased had lived, they could have filed a personal injury lawsuit. Since the deceased can’t file a lawsuit, a personal representative of their estate can file a wrongful death claim in their stead. 

While only a personal representative of the deceased person’s estate can file a wrongful death claim, the deceased’s family can participate. Family members can claim compensation for losses they have suffered because of the wrongful death, as well as seek out damages for their deceased loved one. 

Common causes of wrongful death include:

• Medical malpractice
• Auto accidents
• Truck accidents
• Pedestrian accidents
• Bike accidents
• Motorcycle accidents
• Slip-and-fall accidents
• Bus accidents
• Defective products
• Aviation accidents
• And more

When filing a wrongful death claim, legal representation is essential. Though it is possible to win your case without an attorney, when you fight for your wrongful death claim with an attorney, it results in much higher settlements. This is because many times, plaintiffs who file wrongful death claims without legal representation can make mistakes, such as giving recorded statements, taking the insurance company’s “final offer”, asking for too much or too little in compensation, not knowing the full extent of injuries and settling the case anyway, and more.
