Car crashes remain a leading cause of accidental injuries in our region. According to data collected and published by the Wyoming Department of Transportation, there were 1,580 motor vehicle collisions reported in the City of Cheyenne in 2020 alone. Altogether, these accidents resulted in 359 confirmed injuries and 8 fatalities. There were approximately 400 additional car accidents reported in other communities in Laramie County.
Even the safest and most attentive of drivers should still be prepared for the risk of an accident. A car wreck can happen when you least expect it—and it can turn your entire life upside down in a matter of seconds. Here are three steps to take after a car accident in Cheyenne:
All car accident injuries should be evaluated by a qualified physician. Emergency medical needs take precedence over everything else. Not only do you need to see a doctor for your own welfare, you must seek medical attention to be eligible to bring a claim.
Serious car accidents should be reported to state or local law enforcement, such as the Wyoming Highway Patrol, the Cheyenne Police Department, or the Laramie County Sheriff’s Office. Additionally, try to document the crash. Take photographs, get witness contact information, and gather any other relevant details.
You cannot rely on insurers for guidance with the claims process. You should consult with an experienced Cheyenne personal injury lawyer before making a statement to an insurance company representative.
Were you hurt in a crash in Cheyenne? Your claim will generally be governed by Wyoming state law. It is crucial that you understand your rights and responsibilities under the law. Some of the most important things to know about the Wyoming car accident laws include:
All major car crashes should be reported in a timely manner. Under state law (Wyoming Statutes § 31-5-110), a traffic collision should be reported to police if anyone was hurt or there was greater than $1,000 in property damage. The official police report serves as an important form of documentation in a car accident case.
Wyoming is an at-fault car accident jurisdiction. The driver, truck company, vehicle manufacturer, road maintenance crew, or any other party deemed responsible for causing a crash in Cheyenne can be held liable for any consequential damages. Fault arises based on negligence—which is defined as the failure to exercise reasonable care. All collisions in Laramie County should be investigated by an experienced Wyoming personal injury lawyer. Your attorney will help you gather the evidence needed to prove fault.
Auto accidents can be complicated. It is not uncommon for multiple parties to bear liability for the same underlying crash. Wyoming uses a modified comparative negligence standard to sort out liability in these cases. Each party to a crash will be held liable for their proportionate share of the fault. If you are blamed for a portion of your own accident, your settlement or judgment can be reduced by a proportionate amount.
You have a limited amount of time to bring a car accident injury claim in Laramie County. Under Wyoming law, most car accident claims are subject to a four-year statute of limitations. Some claims, however, are subject to a two-year statute of limitations. There is no reason to wait to get started with the legal claim process. Consult with a Cheyenne, WY car accident attorney before you make a statement to an insurance adjuster.
Following a serious motor vehicle collision, you need money to pay your bills. Wyoming allows injured victims to hold the at-fault party liable for the complete extent of their damages, including monetary and non-monetary losses. Insurance companies do not always make it easy for people to get the money that they deserve. At Freeburg Law, our Cheyenne car accident attorneys hold insurance companies accountable for paying claims. You may be in a position to recover financial relief for the following types of damages:
The car accident injury claims process is complicated. It is normal to be stressed out, confused, and tired after a crash.
