Wyoming truck accident law — key points
Three legal questions affect almost every truck accident case in Wyoming. Each is governed by a public statute we link below — you can verify everything.
Statute of limitations
4 years for personal injury
2 years for wrongful death
Four years from date of injury for personal injury (more generous than most). Two years for wrongful death (Wyo. Stat. § 1-38-102).
Comparative negligence rule
Modified comparative negligence (51% bar)
Wyoming uses modified comparative fault with a 51% bar (Wyo. Stat. § 1-1-109). Plaintiff can recover only if her fault is 50% or less.
Damages caps
No cap on compensatory damages
No statutory cap on compensatory damages — Wyoming's state constitution explicitly prohibits damages caps in personal injury and wrongful death cases (Wyoming Const. Art. 10 § 4).
