How Wyoming Law Affects Your Rideshare Accident Claim

Wyoming uses a modified comparative fault system with a 51% bar and has no statutory cap on non-economic damages in personal injury or medical malpractice cases. The state's small population, energy industry, and large expanses of public land create unique personal injury scenarios involving oilfield accidents, ranching injuries, and outdoor recreation claims. Wyoming's 4-year statute of limitations is more generous than most states.

Under Wyoming's modified comparative fault (50% bar) system, your settlement may be affected if you share any responsibility for the accident. Your recovery will be reduced by your fault percentage, and you are barred from recovery if your fault reaches 50% or more.
