Car Accidents in Wyoming

Every year, we see thousands of people throughout the state of Wyoming impacted by negligent and reckless drivers. More than 120 people lose their lives in traffic-related incidents annually while many others are left with debilitating injuries that impact their health and wellbeing. Some of the leading causes of crashes in our state include:

Speeding: Even though we have posted speed limits on every stretch of road across the state, we continue to see accidents caused by drivers who decide to go above the limits.

Driving impaired: A large percentage of collisions take place each year in our state due to drivers who enter roadways while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Being impaired can negatively impact a person’s ability to maintain control over their vehicle. As a result, countless people are left injured due to their choices.

Drivers who are distracted: Thousands of accidents take place due to drivers who are distracted by their cell phones and various other objects while operating their vehicles. Being distracted is a common factor in a large percentage of collisions
