Every year, thousands of people are seriously injured in slip-and-fall accidents caused by dangerous or poorly maintained properties. Tragically, some are even killed. Lawsuits involving slip-and-fall accidents are commonly referred to as premises liability claims. Our premises liability attorneys in Wyoming have decades of experience with these types of lawsuits.
Premises liability law is the area of law that holds the owner of land or premises responsible for certain injuries suffered by others on their property. Under Wyoming law, property owners and building managers are responsible for the safety of their visitors and can be held liable for personal injury caused by dangerous or unsafe conditions.

Our experienced Wyoming premises liability attorneys can help build your case.
