Most personal injury cases are the result of another person’s negligence. For example, in a motor vehicle accident case, the other driver isn’t paying attention and causes the wreck.
Their negligence causes the accident. What’s important to understand is that personal injury encompasses physical, emotional, and mental harm. An individual can suffer one or multiple types of personal injury, any of which may be grounds for a claim and compensation.
I absolutely 100 percent recommend Freeburg law and my personal lawyer Ethan Morris. Being from another state once they were on the case they did everything to make me feel the ease of the burden of the charge I received. I don’t know how I would have handled it without their help from 500 miles away. The sentencing I received was minimal and I was happy with the entire process. Ethan made me feel as if I just made a small mistake on my part and he would handle everything for me within his power. They were well worth every dollar. Strongly recommend as a DUI attorney.
I hired this firm due to the positive reviews. Ethan did not let me down. He fought for me and my case was dismissed. The team at Freeburg Law will LISTEN to you. They will believe you and do the very best for you. Someone will answer the phone even on a Sunday morning. They will reply to every email, and answer every question no matter what. They will have your back.
I've worked on many civil and criminal cases with Freeburg Law over the years, some going to trial, many settling out of court. They do an outstanding job for their clients. They put in the time and resources needed to present the best possible case. Most importantly, they care. Easy to work with, top-notch trial lawyers. I'd highly recommend them for any civil or criminal case.
Alex Freeburg is an excellent attorney and Teton County is lucky to have him. Throughout the duration of my case, he maintained exceptional communication with me, providing every detail and explaining every juncture as they arose. Alex is a dogged advocate but has a big heart as well. I would recommend him to anyone.

Each injury is different. The strength of each case is dependent on the incident itself, its circumstances, and how well liability can be established.
Personal injury cases range from vehicle accidents and assaults to wrongful death, as well as other types. The best way to secure justice is through a professional approach that applies the law to your unique situation. If after an incident you are experiencing any kind of injury or trauma, you should be aware of your rights and how to effectively pursue compensation. As early as possible, you’ll want to connect with a personal injury lawyer to assess your options.
Over the years, we’ve developed a system for addressing these cases and guiding claimants through the entire process. Each case typically follows this sequence:
Of course, cases can and do settle at any point in this sequence. Some cases will settle after a demand letter. Some cases will settle after the discovery process. And some cases never settle. Cases may even be in two stages simultaneously
Case timelines can also vary depending on such factors as investigation and settlements. At Freeburg Law, we always begin service with a complimentary consultation in order to understand the client’s case and provide initial advice on whether or not to pursue a legal claim.
Don’t worry – our team never takes a case unless we believe the other side is responsible and at fault. If they are responsible for your injury, then they should pay for it. We will work with you to secure what’s rightfully owed to you for your well-being and recovery.
Personal injury cases may be brought in State or Federal Court. The court you file in depends on the facts and legal issues of the case, whether the claims are under State or Federal law, and where the parties are from.
Wyoming has nine judicial districts. Generally, if you file a case in a county, the judge for that county will hear the case. However, there are exceptions to that rule, especially when the judge knows a party or there is a logistical reason for another judge to hear the case.
Once a judge makes a ruling in your case, usually, that’s the judge who will see the case through. However, this judge may be absent due to some extraordinary circumstance; if this happens, another judge will oversee your case. Rest assured that we will represent your interests and advise you throughout the entire ordeal.
Most of our personal injury cases settle. But we never recommend that a client accept a settlement offer unless it is fair. Full and fair compensation is necessary so that our clients are made whole again following an accident. Our Wyoming personal injury lawyers seek compensation for:
These include transportation to the hospital, surgery, hospital stays, doctor or specialist visits, diagnostic tests, and prescription drugs.
A long-lasting or permanent injury will continue to cost money for decades. We seek money today to pay for tomorrow’s medical care.
Someone else’s negligent conduct can keep you from returning to work. Consequently, our clients lose income and benefits and struggle to support their families. We will seek compensation to make up for these losses.
Our injuries could permanently prevent you from returning to your old job. If you take a lower-paying job, we will seek compensation to make up for this loss in earning power.
Your bodily injuries do more than cost you money. They also cause pain, inconvenience, emotional distress, and other losses.
We regularly hear people say they will negotiate their own settlement. This process is much harder than people realize.
A settlement requires learning Wyoming personal injury law and being confident enough to go into court to vindicate your rights. Remember, not all cases settle. If yours doesn’t, you need to learn Wyoming’s rules of civil procedure and evidence so you can effectively litigate a claim.
Our lawyers provide immediate benefits to our clients. We can step in and:
Whether you were hurt in a car accident or by a defective product, you need to show what happened. It might not be obvious. As you struggle to recover from injuries, you probably don’t feel like performing an investigation.
We will tell you what paperwork to hold onto and how to fully document your pain and emotional distress.
Someone must be “at fault” for your accident to require that they pay you compensation. Of course, fault can be shared. And you might be partially to blame. We gather all facts to take a “big picture” look at how fault is divided.
Also, handle all paperwork for insurance claims. By stepping in like this, we provide our clients with peace of mind. You can now continue with rehab and recovery without worrying that your case is slowly slipping away.
Your choice of attorney makes a big difference in the outcome of your case. Some lawyers are deeply experienced in personal injury law, while others only practice it on the side. We strongly recommend that all accident victims spend some time thinking about what they want in a lawyer.
We have represented the Wyoming community for years. We understand our communities and, just as importantly, stay atop of Wyoming personal injury law. To help you choose an attorney, we offer a free consultation at a convenient time. This consultation will give you a better idea of whether we are a good fit for you.
Some questions you might ask at your consultation include:
A good attorney will never promise a result. However, based on our experience, we can discuss generally what to expect, as well as your odds of receiving a settlement. We will also be upfront about whether we need additional information to properly evaluate your claim.
Each injury is different. The strength of each case is dependent on the incident itself, its circumstances, and how well liability can be established.
Personal injury is not about making a profit, it’s about making the responsible party be accountable for what happened to you and pay for damages done to your person. You do not have to pursue your due rights alone, nor should you. We will advise you on the best courses of action and manage all legal procedures to secure the best outcome for your case. Please contact us at (307) 314-1586 with any questions or to get started. Freeburg Law is ready to help.
This is a stressful time. Your car might be totaled, you have no way of earning income, and you probably feel a lot of pain. It is very easy to mess up and compromise your ability to receive fair compensation for your injuries.
At Freeburg Law, we always recommend that clients take a few moments to gather themselves following a wreck. The choices you make can really improve your odds of coming out of this with a decent settlement.
For example, you should call the cops to come to a car accident. The officer will usually create a report which comes in handy when making an insurance claim.
Next, we recommend not giving a recorded statement to an insurer without an attorney present. There are just too many things that can go wrong. You might get facts messed up or say something offhand which later is used against you. Remember, Wyoming recognizes comparative negligence. If you somehow contributed to your crash, you’ll get less compensation. And if you are mostly responsible for the accident, you could walk away with $0.
Also avoid trying to self-diagnose your injuries. Go to a hospital instead. Tell a doctor what happened and describe any symptoms. If your doctor wants to order tests, then go have blood drawn or imaging tests performed.
Keep up with all rehabilitation to give yourself the best chance of recovery. If your doctor demands that you rest, don’t head out to work or start playing with your kids.
We understand money might be tight. You might not even have health insurance. Still, you need prompt treatment. Refusing to get immediate medical care opens the door to the defendant blaming you for your pain.
If you need help, contact an attorney. We know how to get you medical care even if you lack insurance. We have been doing this work a long time and know doctors who can help accident victims.
Some clients might feel uncomfortable about “profiting from an accident,” but this isn’t the case. When you suffer any kind of injury, you didn’t ask for it to happen to you. You are not to blame.
