Workers' compensation.
Workplace injuries follow strict notice rules — Wyoming requires notice within 72 hours, and missed deadlines are the single most common cause of denial. We match you to a Utah, Idaho, or Wyoming workers'-comp attorney whose case history fits your injury and benefit posture, and we ask early about third-party angles most claimants miss.

Sub-specialties within this area.
Workplace injury (specific incident)
A fall, lift, equipment failure, vehicle incident on the job. The most common kind of workers'-comp claim. Notice to your employer triggers the clock — Wyoming's 72-hour rule is one of the strictest in the country.
Occupational disease & repetitive trauma
Carpal tunnel, hearing loss, back conditions from years of lifting, chemical exposure, silicosis. These claims hinge on causation evidence and use the date of last exposure — not a single accident date — to start the clock.
Work injury with third-party PI
If a non-employer party caused or contributed to your injury — a driver, equipment manufacturer, premises owner, subcontractor on a multi-employer site — you may have a parallel personal-injury case alongside your workers' comp claim. The strategies have to be coordinated; many attorneys miss this.
Denied or disputed claim appeal
Your claim was denied, your benefits were cut off, or the insurer demanded an IME. Each state has a tight appeal window from the denial. This is where workers'-comp specialists earn their keep.
Death claims & dependent benefits
Fatal workplace incidents. Surviving spouse and dependent children benefits, funeral benefits, and apportionment between workers' comp and any third-party wrongful-death case.
Three steps to the right specialist.
Tell us what happened
A careful AI conversation walks through the facts. Date of injury (or date of last exposure for repetitive trauma), state where it happened, mechanism, body parts injured, whether and when you reported to your employer, claim status, and treatment so far.
We identify the sub-specialty
Not just "workers' comp" — specific-incident, repetitive trauma, denied-claim appeal, third-party overlap, death claim. Each is a different posture and a different attorney fit.
Warm introduction to the right firm
We match you to the firm on our bench whose case history fits your sub-type. You're introduced, not handed off. The firm knows about your case before they call, and they know to ask about a parallel third-party case.
What we'll ask about.
- The date of injury — or, for repetitive trauma or occupational disease, the date of last exposure. This drives every deadline in the case.
- The state where the injury happened — and your state of employment if different. Jurisdiction controls which commission hears the case.
- When and how you reported the injury to your employer — written or oral, to whom, and on what date. Wyoming requires notice within 72 hours; Utah and Idaho run longer but still tight.
- The claim status — accepted, denied in part, denied in full, or never filed. If denied, the stated reason and the appeal deadline.
- Whether a third-party defendant may be involved — a driver, equipment manufacturer, premises owner, subcontractor. This opens a parallel PI case with its own (separate) statute of limitations.
- Your pre-injury wages and current work status — full duty, light duty, off work, terminated. Wages drive your benefit rate; work status affects what benefits you're owed now.
Deadlines to know.
Workers'-comp notice deadlines are short and unforgiving. Wyoming requires notice to your employer within 72 hours of injury — one of the strictest in the country, and the most common cause of denial. Idaho requires written notice within 60 days. Utah runs longer at 180 days. All three states then require an Application for Hearing or Notice of Claim within roughly one year. If a third-party caused your injury — another driver, an equipment maker, a property owner — a separate personal-injury statute of limitations runs alongside (often two to four years), and the workers'-comp insurer will assert a subrogation lien against any third-party recovery. If your TTD checks were just stopped, an IME was scheduled, or you received a denial letter, the deadline to challenge it is short.
What people ask.
Workers'-comp attorneys in Utah, Idaho, and Wyoming work on a contingency fee set by state law — typically 15–25% of awarded back benefits, with the percentage and the cap depending on the state. There's no fee unless you recover. There's no fee for talking to us or for the introduction.
