The loss of a loved one can be a devastating experience. If the death was preventable or due to another person’s wrongful actions, the situation can become almost unbearable. Not only do these family members have to deal with immense grief and suffering, but they usually have no idea what actions the civil justice system provides them. In truth, many do not realize that in Jackson Wyoming, they are entitled to compensation from the individual who caused their loved one’s death.

We also feel that when a family loses a relative, it can be therapeutic when the liable party is brought to justice. For these reasons, our Wyoming wrongful death lawyers are here and ready to help you during this challenging time and fight for the compensation and justice your family deserves under the law. If you are in the Jackson, Casper, Cody, and Cheyenne areas, our Wyoming wrongful death lawyer wants to help you.
A wrongful death claim is a unique lawsuit brought against an individual who is responsible for another person’s death. In Jackson Wyoming, typically, the claim is brought in a civil action by close family members, relatives, or personal representatives. However, this is determined by the state’s statute.
In general, these wrongful death claims occur from any death caused by intentional or negligent actions of another person or entity. If the claim is successful, it can result in monetary compensation for the decedent’s survivors.
A wrongful death claim in Jackson and Cheyenne Wyoming can result from numerous incidents or accidents. However, they generally arise after a situation in which a victim would have had a valid personal injury claim had they not died from the defendant’s wrongful actions.

In addition, having a wrongful death lawyer on your side during this time is especially critical, as many aggressive insurance adjusters will try to do whatever they can to deny your claim or get you to agree to a smaller settlement. However, when our legal team is working on your behalf, you will not have to worry about insurance companies playing games. We can handle all the negotiations and discussions with them while providing you with maximum compensation and maximum peace of mind.
A wrongful death claim can only be brought by a personal representative of the deceased’s estate in Wyoming. This person will represent the best interests of all the potential beneficiaries of the lawsuit, and all the compensation obtained is for the exclusive benefit of these beneficiaries. It is also critical that the personal representative acts fast, as they will only have two years to file this claim from the decedent’s death. If the case is not filed within this time period, the court can refuse to hear it, and the beneficiaries will not be able to obtain the compensation they deserve.
