Wyoming Truck Accident Lawyers

While Wyoming does not have the heavy congestion Colorado drivers are used to around Denver and other major cities, shipping and drilling traffic is ubiquitous along the I-25, Route 85, and I-80 corridors. Quite simply, I-80 is an extremely dangerous highway caused by the large number of semis and heavy equipment barreling through at high rates of speed, a set of bad circumstances that is sometimes made worse with high winds. Cars, RVs and other passenger vehicles don't stand a chance in a collision with a large semi-truck, and if you are unlucky enough to be hit, you need legal representation you can trust.

If you are injured in a trucking accident in Wyoming but are a Colorado resident, our Wyoming truck accident lawyers can help you pursue compensation. Reach out to Cook, Bradford & Levy, LLC today at (303) 543-1000 for a free consultation.

Wyoming Roads Can Be Hazardous

The highways and interstates of Wyoming are major shipping routes that run from the West Coast to the Midwest. Colorado residents use the same roads to travel to and through Wyoming for both business and pleasure.

Wyoming roads have a reputation for high-speeds and bad weather. Inclement conditions can be so dangerous that Wyoming authorities sometimes shut down the highways to prevent trucks from rolling over. Drivers unfamiliar with the area can easily find themselves in a dangerous crash with one of the many tractor-trailers passing through the region. In September 2022, two semis collided outside of Cheyenne, WY, on I-80. The resulting fire claimed two people and injured a third, according KGAB AM 650.

Causes of Wyoming Truck Accidents

The Wyoming Department of Transportation (DOT) 2020 Traffic Crash Report states that approximately 33% of drivers involved in Wyoming traffic accidents were from another state or territory. Distracted drivers, steep mountain roads, and extreme weather all combine to create dangerous conditions for Colorado drivers on the road.

Common causes of truck crashes in Wyoming include:

  • Distracted driving
  • Animal on the road
  • Driving while intoxicated (DWI)
  • Farm equipment
  • Inclement weather
  • Missed traffic signs or signals
  • Inexperienced or unlicensed drivers
  • Aggressive driving or road rage
  • Speeding

According to the same report, Wyoming saw 335 injury crashes involving medium to heavy trucks over 10,000 lbs. in just one year, including 55 fatalities. Due to their superior height, size, and weight, 18-wheelers are more likely to cause severe and fatal injuries in accidents with passenger vehicles.

Client Reviews
★★★★★
“I was rear ended by a driver on his cell phone. I started with another attorney, but was not receiving adequate attention to my case. I switched to Brian and everything changed. He was attentive to my situation, listened to all I had to say, and worked to resolve my case in a timely fashion. He continued to communicate and touch base even during slow parts of the process. After the settlement was resolved, he has still reached out to check in on my health and well being. I would highly recommend Brian Bradford as a lawyer.” Randy
★★★★★
“A driver trying to get away from the police ran a red light and broadsided my car. My injuries affected me physically, emotionally and organizationally. Hiring Steve Cook allowed me to focus on healing while ALL the legal Issues were effectively handled by his firm. Steve's patience, honest, determination. competence and experienced evaluation of my case resulted in a great settlement without having to go to trial.” Shirley
★★★★★
“I was injured in a car accident and I was having a hard time getting much of a response from the insurance companies. I never thought I would resort to calling an attorney, but I am so happy that I did, and that Jason Levy was that attorney. He was respectful, knowledgeable, and kind. When I was healing from major surgery, he arranged for my deposition to take place all the way out in Harford County, at a library near my home, rather than having me come into the city. He was also very persistent with the other driver's insurance company, finally negotiating an excellent settlement” Kate
