Wyoming's Legal Landscape
The modified comparative fault (51% bar) system in Wyoming establishes the ground rules for personal injury recovery, influencing everything from fault allocation to damage awards.
Under Wyoming's 51% bar rule, you can recover compensation if you are 50% or less at fault, but not if you are 51% or more at fault. Your award is reduced by your fault percentage. This system is slightly more permissive than the 50% bar used in some other states.
Wyoming operates a monopolistic state workers' compensation fund, meaning employers must obtain coverage through the state rather than private insurers.
What Makes Wyoming Different
Monopolistic State Fund
Wyoming requires employers to purchase workers' compensation insurance exclusively through the state fund, not private insurers. This affects how claims are processed and benefits are paid.
1-Year Filing Deadlines
Wyoming imposes a 1-year statute of limitations for: Workers' Compensation. This is shorter than most states and requires immediate action.
