- Medical records from day one — gaps in treatment become the insurer's argument.
- Witness names and numbers — collected before everyone scatters.
- What you were wearing — footwear matters in fall cases; keep it unaltered.

Why quick action matters in Wyoming
Wyoming generally allows four years for most personal injury lawsuits (W.S. 1-3-105) — one of the longest windows in the country — but wrongful death claims get only two years, and claims against a government entity must be formally presented within two years under the Governmental Claims Act's strict requirements, with damages capped by statute. And no deadline preserves evidence: skid marks weather, video gets erased, witnesses scatter. This is general information, not legal advice; a participating law firm can explain the deadlines that apply to you.

How much is a slip and fall case worth in Gillette?
There's no set amount — it depends on your injuries, medical treatment, lost income, and how it happened.

It varies widely — some matters resolve in months, while disputed cases can take a year or more. Acting early, preserving evidence, and getting treatment documented all help.
