A brain injury can change everything — and because Wyoming caps nothing, the law allows recovery for the full, lifelong impact.
How TBIs Happen in Wyoming
High-speed highway crashes, truck collisions, falls, ranch and oilfield accidents, and ATV and snowmobile wrecks are common causes. Even a 'mild' concussion can produce lasting cognitive, emotional, and physical effects that surface over time.
Why TBI Cases Are Different
Brain injuries are often invisible on standard imaging and easy for insurers to dispute. Proving them takes neuropsychological testing, specialist testimony, and documentation of how the injury has changed the victim's work, relationships, and daily function.
The Cost of a Lifetime of Care
Severe TBIs may require ongoing therapy, supervision, assistive technology, and lost-career compensation. Life-care planning and economic analysis capture these future costs — essential because a release ends the claim permanently.
No Cap, Full Recovery
Because the Wyoming Constitution (Art. 10, § 4) prohibits laws that limit the amount of damages recoverable for injury or death, so Wyoming has no cap on personal injury or wrongful death damages, the profound non-economic toll of a brain injury — lost independence, personality changes, diminished quality of life — can be presented in full to a Wyoming jury.
