COMPLEX LITIGATION AND PERSONAL INJURY

Mr. Shuck rejects the vast majority of personal injury cases offered to him. However, if the case if large enough, the damages are serious, and the liability is reasonably clear, this firm does represent clients in personal injury cases.  Mr. Shuck has successfully litigated and /or negotiated settlements in cases involving defective products, automobile accidents, brain injury, wrongful death, serious physical injuries, and cases involving negligence on the part of local governmental agencies.  The firm typically accepts these cases on a ⅓ contingency fee basis, under which the firm does not receive its fee unless a judgment is obtained or settlement is reached. 

• Seek medical attention immediately and follow all your medical provider’s recommendations.
• Contact an attorney immediately to determine how much time you have to file suit. Every case must be filed within the statute of limitations and/or claims periods and these time frames vary depending on the facts underlying each individual case.  If you need help determining the statute of limitations applicable to your case, email the firm at brianshuck@vcn.com.
• If you need ongoing medical treatment or may need medical treatment in the future, be careful not to settle with the insurance company or other defendant before the extent of your injuries are fully known. Again, you need to be aware of the statutes of limitation or claims period. However, some injuries, such as knee and back injuries, cannot always be fully known until some time has passed.  Settling too early may result in settling for too little to cover all your future medical expenses.
• If a local governmental body or agency is involved, seek the advice of an attorney to help you file a governmental claim immediately.
• Keep a diary of how the injury affects your ability to work, engage in other daily activities, and the pain and limitations associated with the injury.

Mr. Shuck has been involved in 6-7 appeals of personal injury and other cases to the Wyoming Supreme Court and is familiar with appellate procedure.
