The Unique Dangers Wyoming Riders Face
Motorcyclists have none of the protection a car offers, so even a low-speed crash can cause life-changing injuries. Wyoming's high-speed highways, sudden crosswinds, loose gravel on mountain passes, wildlife on the roadway, and the summer surge of riders heading to and from Sturgis all raise the risk. Far too often, the cause is another driver who simply failed to see the motorcycle or misjudged its speed before turning or changing lanes.
Overcoming Bias Against Riders
Insurance companies frequently assume the rider was speeding or reckless, regardless of what actually happened. Network attorneys push back on that bias with crash reconstruction, witness statements, and physical evidence that establishes the truth. Under Wyoming's modified comparative negligence rule, even a partial finding of fault can reduce your recovery, so it is critical to build a clear, well-documented case.
Injuries and Compensation
Motorcycle crashes commonly cause traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, road rash requiring skin grafts, broken bones, and amputations. Compensation may include medical bills and future care, lost income and earning capacity, pain and suffering, disfigurement, and the cost of long-term rehabilitation. We work to document the full, lifelong impact of these injuries.
What to Do After a Motorcycle Crash
Get medical care immediately, even if you think you are uninjured. Preserve your gear and helmet — do not discard them, as they can be evidence. Photograph the scene and your injuries, collect witness information, and avoid giving recorded statements to the insurer before speaking with an attorney.
