Getting verdicts is only part of the job – your lawyer should have a proven record of upholding verdicts on appeal.
We take cases when the stakes are too high for other lawyers. Some lawyers will try to impress you with their verdicts, but the true test is whether their verdicts stand up on appeal. Our case results include multiple record-setting verdicts, some of which are the largest
upheld on appeal in the State of Wyoming.

What Is Personal Injury?
Personal injury refers to every variety of injury to a person’s body, emotions, or reputation that is caused when a wrongdoer carelessly, recklessly or intentionally causes that injury.
There are three grounds on which a personal injury lawsuit can be filed:
- Negligence: Negligence suits make up the majority of personal injury claims. The basis of a negligence claim is that a person or organization failed to uphold a standard level of care that would have been followed under a similar circumstance. In medical practice, child care, or nursing home care negligence is a top priority. There are four subcategories of negligence that your case can fall under: gross, contributory, comparative, and vicarious.
- Strict Liability: Liability is the legal concept that a person or organization holds responsibility for their actions, often associated with negligence. Strict liability holds someone responsible for damages their actions have caused, regardless of fault or intent, and is often seen in lawsuits that include faulty products, pet ownership, or construction site accidents resulting from safety conditions.
- Intentional Wrongs: Action can be brought against a person or organization if harm has been committed with knowledge or intent. Common intentional actions include assault, battery, trespassing, or false imprisonment.
