Where to File in Wyoming
Wyoming Statutes § 1-38-102 governs wrongful death claims with a 4-year statute of limitations — one of the nation's longest. Wyoming imposes no cap on wrongful death damages — full economic and non-economic recovery is available. Laramie County District Court (Cheyenne) and Natrona County District Court (Casper) handle the highest volumes of Wyoming wrongful death cases. Wyoming's oil and gas extraction, coal mining, and agricultural industries are the primary sources of workplace wrongful death cases.
