Medical Malpractice Cases We Handle in Wyoming
Medical malpractice can take many different forms. Our team has handled many different cases and has the knowledge and expertise to take them on. Types of cases our Wyoming medical malpractice lawyers handle include:
- Misdiagnosis: Giving a patient the wrong diagnosis can trigger unnecessary treatments instead of necessary care. Failure to diagnose the correct condition can also cause a patient’s health to worsen due to a preventable illness.
- Medication errors: Whether it’s the wrong dosage, given to the wrong patient, or prescribed with another drug that can cause a negative interaction, medication errors can turn small mistakes into massively harmful complications.
- Surgical errors: When the professionals involved are careless, a lot can go wrong during surgery. Surgeons and staff can leave equipment inside the patient’s body, administer too much anesthesia, or misread or fail to check the patient’s vital signs.
- Birth injuries: Infants can suffer brain damage or physical injuries if they are delivered incorrectly. A negligent doctor might also overlook threats to the mother’s health, causing unnecessary complications or even wrongful death.
- Failure to warn patients of known risks: Doctors have a duty to inform their patients of risks associated with their medical treatments. If they fail to do so and the patient suffers harm, they can be liable for medical malpractice.
How We Prove Negligence and Liability in Your Wyoming Medical Malpractice Case
A successful Wyoming medical malpractice claim must satisfy four elements: An existing doctor-patient relationship, negligence by the doctor, proof that the negligence caused your injuries, and that you suffered damages because of those injuries. Our team focuses on establishing all four elements and tying them together to build a clear, strong malpractice case.
Proving your doctor’s negligence is the most important step. To establish negligence, we must show that your doctor failed to provide the standard of care a reasonable professional would provide, whether by acting carelessly, overlooking important information, or something else.
Poor results alone aren’t enough to establish malpractice, but they are necessary. Even if your doctor was clearly negligent, you won’t be able to recover any compensation if their negligence did not harm you or cause any damages. Our Wyoming medical malpractice attorneys can analyze your unique circumstances and gather evidence to build a case that plainly establishes your doctor’s misconduct.
If a medical professional’s negligence caused harm to you or a loved one, you deserve answers and justice. Our team is dedicated to helping victims of malpractice recover compensation for their losses. Contact us today for a free consultation.

Wyoming Medical Malpractice FAQs
How Long Is the Window for Filing Medical Malpractice Claims in Wyoming?
The statute of limitations for Wyoming medical malpractice lawsuits is typically two years from your injury date. However, there are some exceptions, including when the injury is not immediately apparent and is discovered later. A knowledgeable medical malpractice lawyer can help you determine how much time you have to file a claim.
How Long Will It Take to Resolve My Medical Malpractice Claim?
Every personal injury case is unique, and medical malpractice claims can be more complicated than others. Your claim may take anywhere from a few months to more than a year to resolve. Our Wyoming medical malpractice attorneys can analyze the relative complexity of your case and estimate how long it might take for a resolution.
How Do I Know If I Have a Valid Medical Malpractice Case?
A medical treatment ending in poor results isn’t necessarily enough to establish malpractice. However, if you believe you were injured because your doctor committed a careless error, overlooked a key aspect of your ailment, or otherwise acted negligently, you might have a case. Our Wyoming medical malpractice lawyers can help you determine whether you have a valid claim.
What Types of Evidence Will I Need to Prove My Medical Malpractice Claim?
Collecting different types of evidence will make for a stronger claim. Some key pieces of evidence might include:
- Medical records, including bills and communications regarding your treatment and resulting injuries
- Witness statements
- Expert testimony detailing what a responsible professional would have done in the same situation
Can I Sue If I Was Partially At Fault For My Medical Malpractice Claim?
Under Wyoming’s modified comparative negligence laws, you can still sue for medical malpractice and recover compensation if you were partially responsible for your injuries. However, any reward would be reduced in proportion to your share of blame.
Is There a Cap on Damages for Wyoming Medical Malpractice Claims?
Wyoming’s state constitution contains a provision barring any caps on damages for “causing the injury or death of any person.” Therefore, ther are no limits on the compensation you can recover in a Wyoming medical malpractice claim. Our lawyers will fight to maximize your recovery and win you the compensation you deserve.
However, state law does limit the maximum liability of government entities in medical malpractice suits against public employees.
