Situations in Which Everyone Should Seek Legal Guidance

Posted

If you have experienced a traffic accident or property damage due to a third party’s negligence, a loved one has passed away due to another person’s failure to uphold their duty of care, or you or a loved one have experienced a personal injury due to a third party, you may be entitled to compensation. You should contact a lawyer today to discuss your case.

Remember, there is a statute of limitations on these claims, so don’t delay and call today. The information in this guide is Wyoming-based, but in general, the advice applies across the country.

Reviewing business contracts

When it comes to business, there are a few situations that you should always consult with a lawyer: forming a corporation or LLC, drafting contracts and agreements, obtaining licenses and permits, intellectual property protection, etc. A contract lawyer will be able to help you navigate the complexities of these areas and give you advice on what is best for your particular situation. They can review these documents before you sign them so that you understand all of the terms and conditions and know what you are getting into.

Traffic accidents

Some of the most common types of traffic accidents in Wyoming are drivers being fatigued, distracted by their phones, speeding, and drunk driving. If you or a loved one have been involved in a car accident that was caused by the carelessness or recklessness of another person, you should contact a lawyer to discuss your circumstances. 

You could be entitled to compensation for property damage, personal injury, or even wrongful death if you lost a loved one in the accident.

It is recommended that you use a dashcam in your vehicle, or a motorcycle helmet camera so that you have footage of any potential accidents. These videos can prove vital in liability claims when they provide evidence of wrongdoing from a third party.

Property damage

If your vehicle, garden fence, or any other property has been damaged due to a dangerous driver, take photos, document the scene, and discuss your property damage claim with a lawyer today. There is a four-year statute of limitations on property damage and personal injury claims in Wyoming, so get started in making your claim as soon as you can.

Personal injury

As well as compensation for damaged property, accident victims can claim compensation for any harm done to them personally, due to the negligence of another person, company, or entity. This harm includes both economic and non-economic damages. 

Economic damages stem from the financial losses you incurred due to the accident and subsequent medical bills, time off work, repairing and replacing property, and future damages you expect to face due to the accident. Future financial damages could be a result of ongoing medical treatment, or an incapacity to return to work, as a result of the incident.

Non-economic damages include pain, suffering, disfigurement, and diminished quality of life. These damages are not financial but still merit financial compensation.

Wrongful death

No family should ever have to experience losing a loved one in an accident, especially if the accident could have been prevented if someone else had been more attentive, alert, or responsible. 

Understandably, alongside the grief of losing a parent, child, spouse, or another family member, due to the carelessness of another person, there is also rightful anger and a desire for justice and answers. If you are a child, parent, spouse, or another kind of dependent of someone you have lost in an accident, you should contact a  wrongful death lawyer in Cheyenne as soon as possible to discuss your rights. You could be entitled to compensation. However, there is a time constraint of two years from the date of the person’s death to begin taking legal action.

A wrongful death lawyer will discuss the situation with your family, support you through this time, and seek justice for you and your loved one. Moreover, they will fight for compensation for you. While no amount of money can bring back your loved one, you should not have to suffer financially, as well as emotionally, following this personal tragedy.

Some of the common causes of wrongful death claims in Cheyenne include car/ truck/ motorcycle accidents, drunk driving accidents, workplace incidents, dog bites, criminal activity, and slip and fall accidents.

One of the significant differences between a wrongful death claim and claims for personal injury or property damage in Wyoming is that the statute of limitations is much shorter for wrongful death claims, two years opposed to four.

If you believe you have a case for a wrongful death claim, call a lawyer today. They can help you prove that the responsible party had a duty of care for your loved one, that they breached that duty of care, and that their negligence resulted in your loved one’s death, which in turn caused you damages.

Call a lawyer today

If you or a loved one have experienced a car accident, property damage, personal injury, or wrongful death, contact a lawyer today to discuss justice, compensation, and beginning your claim. Don’t forget the statute of limitations in Wyoming is four years for the latter claims and only two for wrongful death.
