Those who have suffered a serious injury or have lost a loved one to an injury are encouraged to contact the firm
as soon as possible. Critical evidence must be gathered and witnesses identified immediately. The time during
which a lawsuit may be brought – the statute of limitation, varies depending on the nature of the case.
Actions for wrongful death must be brought within two years. Actions for personal injury must be brought within
four years except for professional malpractice actions which must be brought within two years and actions against
a governmental entity must begin with a proper claim being filed within two years and an action filed within one
year after the claim. Great care must be taken to insure that the requirements of the claim procedure are met.
Our Commitment
The efforts that people must make to overcome their injuries or the injuries or death of their loved ones
are heroic. We do everything we can to help them fully tell their stories and meet their lifelong financial
needs. The lawyers in the firm who work in this area have a special dedication to these people who become
our friends as well as our clients. References may be provided upon request.
Our attorneys schedule meetings with the people who have suffered losses at the earliest possible
opportunities. All initial case reviews are without any fee. Often these initial reviews may involve
more than one meeting to gather and assess the medical records, as well as other relevant documents.
Clients are encouraged to bring all documents to the initial review including all accident reports,
technical information about the cause of the injury, photographs, medical records and income tax returns.
Under Wyoming law an action may be brought against all the actors who may have contributed to the injury
or death. Identifying and investigating the actions of those who may have caused the injuries or death
requires the use of the best experts who are able to prepare reports and testify. Wyoming's unique
comparative fault system mandates a comparison of the "fault" of all the "actors" at trial regardless
of whether the "fault" arises from negligence, products liability or breach of warranty. The firm
employs the most qualified experts on the standard of care and the state of the art.
We also focus on developing a convincing damages case. Past and future medical bills, loss of
earnings, pain and suffering, permanent disability and disfigurement and loss of enjoyment of life
are some of the types of damages that may be recoverable in a serious personal injury case. In a
wrongful death case, besides the economic loss, the focus is the loss of companionship, care and
comfort of someone whose loss will be felt by the survivors for the rest of their lives.
Under Wyoming law, a tort claim for wrongful death must be brought by a representative appointed to
represent the deceased. We have experience obtaining recovery for the family members who suffered
a tragic loss due to the fault of another.
Medical error can cause serious injury. Davis & Cannon, LLP, works closely with physicians and other
medical experts to develop an in-depth knowledge of the medical treatment and problems that caused the harm.
Davis & Cannon, LLP's personal injury lawyers have obtained verdicts and settlements in a variety of
motor vehicle collision cases, from head-on collisions between passenger automobiles to highway
accidents involving semi tractor-trailers.
A number of our personal injury clients first approach us with concerns that they are not being treated
fairly by an insurance company. Additionally, clients may have issues with their own insurance coverage,
such as property damage payments, medical payments coverage, and health insurance claims processing.
In the course of preparing a personal injury case, we advise clients regarding all sources of recovery
for their losses.
