What is the deadline in Wyoming?

Wyoming personal injury SOL: 4 years (Wyo. Stat. § 1-3-105(a)(iv)(C)). Minor tolling: a minor may sue within 3 years after turning 18, or within the regular 4-year period if longer — child's claim expires at age 21 (§ 1-3-114). Wrongful death: 2 years from death (§ 1-38-102). A lawyer can confirm yours.

Deadlines vary; a lawyer can confirm yours. An older diagnosis or a past filing window does not, by itself, establish whether you have a claim.

02 · Where cases are heard

Where would my case be heard?

Wyoming's 4-year personal injury SOL — above average nationally — is extended for minors to 3 years after age 18, giving surviving NEC children until age 21 to file. Wyoming lacks a children's hospital with Level III/IV NICU capacity; premature infants are typically airlifted to Denver's Children's Hospital Colorado or Salt Lake City's Primary Children's Hospital for care.
