Personal injury is defined in U.S. law as an injury to a person’s body, emotions, or reputation, as opposed to an injury to property. A personal injury claim is the most common type of lawsuit filed in the United States, with statistics from the U.S. Department of Justice estimating around 100,000 personal injury lawsuits were filed in 2020. Because the definition is so wide, there are several types of personal injury that may give rise to lawsuits.
If you have been injured or lost a loved one due to another person’s negligence or lack of care, you may have a case that a Cheyenne personal injury lawyer can help you see through to the end. Wrongful death cases often require the help of a personal injury attorney. Our law firm will help you with a free consultation to evaluate your personal injury claims.
Attorney Alex Freeburg and Freeburg Law, LLC have been helping people in and around Wyoming and Eastern Idaho for years now and may be in a good position to assist you with your case.
Whether you have been through one of these events or your personal injury case is of another type, Freeburg Law, LLC can offer you an honest, forthright assessment of your options and the best potential path for you and your family to take. It is difficult for some people to even contemplate filing suit since they see it as ‘profiting’ off harm – but in reality, you are already spending money on medical bills, on accommodations, and adaptations like missing work, and other expenses. Filing suit is simply a way to recover your losses from the person or entity that was allegedly responsible for causing them in the first place. Our Cheyenne personal injury attorneys will help you recover fair compensation for medical bills, personal injuries, and lost wages
Another reason that many injured people decline to file suit against the person who allegedly caused those injuries is that they worry they were partially responsible, and because of that, a judge or jury will not grant them any compensation anyway.
This is almost never how personal injury cases pan out – Wyoming law holds that as long as the plaintiff is not held to be more than 50 percent responsible, they can still recover, even though the amount may be lowered by their percentage of fault. For example, if you were ruled to be 20 percent responsible, you could still, in theory, recover 80 percent of your damages. Each case is different.
Even if someone wants to file a personal injury claim, it can be an intimidating process finding the right attorney to do so – and Freeburg Law, LLC understands that. Personal injury cases can be complex, which is why so many people choose to hire personal injury attorneys.
We are well aware that most injured clients do not want to have to spend time immersing themselves in the law; they want to focus on healing and getting life back to normal, while someone they trust handles the proverbial heavy lifting. A good personal injury attorney in Cheyenne will do this while keeping their clients updated and well-informed overall. This is not an academic exercise – this is your life, and your time, and your health and well-being. It is worthy of respect.
If you decide to file suit against the person you believe to be responsible for your injuries, a good Cheyenne, WY injury lawyer will be there with you every step of the way, from the initial filing, to document discovery, to potential settlement or trial. Be advised that the majority of personal injury lawsuits in the United States do settle out of court, but not out of any admission of liability most of the time – many insurers, in particular, find it more practical to pay claims than to spend more money defending them at trial.
We travel to courthouses throughout Wyoming and Eastern Idaho. We represent clients in Jackson and from Rock Springs to Cheyenne. In Idaho, we tend to stick to the Counties and towns near the Snake River. We also have a robust practice in Yellowstone and Grand Teton.
