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.

Where would my case be heard?

Wyoming's I-80 corridor through the Wyoming Basin is the nation's highest-altitude Interstate, subject to frequent high-wind closures that create dangerous conditions for high-profile commercial vehicles. The state's oil and gas sector generates substantial oilfield service truck activity. Wyoming follows modified comparative fault with a 51% bar.
