Wyoming Car Accident Lawyer & Auto Accident Information

Wyoming is home to the world famous Yellowstone National Park, the world s first government-designated reserve dedicated to preserving the natural beauty of one of the most striking and amazing untouched environments to be found anywhere. Wyoming grew out of the great western migration that was Manifest Destiny, and became the 44th state on July 10, 1890. Although Wyoming is the 10th largest state in the Union, it has the lowest population of any state, which allows its citizens to maintain a semblance of frontier living in an increasingly fast-paced and urban 21st century.

Perhaps the most important aspect of Wyoming is Yellowstone National Park. This nature reserve, which attracts almost three million visitors a year, is a haven for those who wish to escape the hustle and bustle of city living and get back to nature. Home to the famous Old Faithful Geyser that erupts about ever hour and a half, Yellowstone also contains part of the North American Continental Divide, the point that divides the river systems throughout North America.

Aside from Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming is also home to a number of major mountain ranges, all of which are part of the Rocky Mountains. The Snowy Range, Wind River Range, and the Big Horn Mountains attract thousands of visitors each year who want to enjoy the pristine beauty of an alpine retreat unlike anywhere else in the world. The open ranges of the state also support a large number of ranches that provide a wealth of livestock products to throughout the U.S. and the rest of the world.

The roadways in Wyoming are critical for both interstate and international trade. Goods from every corner of the country pass through Wyoming to their destinations on the West Coast, Canada, or the interior of the U.S. Important roads such as Interstates 25, 80, and 90 run through the state, as do U.S. Highways 14, 20, 26, 89, 191, and 287.

Education also plays a critical role throughout Wyoming. The University of Wyoming, located in the high plains outside of Laramie, was founded in 1886 and is one the most important national research facilities in America, and concentrates on agriculture, energy, geology, and water resource management fields. Home to the Division I Cowboys, University of Wyoming recently beat the UCLA Bruins in the Las Vegas Bowl, ending a 38 year bowl game victory drought. Other learning institutions of note in Wyoming include Casper College, Northwest College, and the Wyoming Technical Institute.

Statute of Limitations

A statute of limitations is a law restricting the amount of time a person has available to file a claim that varies from state to state. In most cases, after this window of opportunity closes, a person has missed the opening needed to file. Once the tardy claim is restricted by the statute of limitations, it cannot be activated in the future. Statutes of limitations began in order to avert such issues as never-ending litigation and fraudulent claims.
