Wyoming law

Premises Liability Laws in Wyoming.

Wyoming premises-liability law largely retains the traditional invitee/licensee/trespasser distinctions but applies a general reasonable-care standard to invitees. The statute of limitations is 4 years (Wyo. Stat. § 1-3-105(a)(iv)) — among the longest in the United States. Wyoming applies modified comparative fault under Wyo. Stat. § 1-1-109 — a plaintiff whose fault is greater than the combined fault of all defendants (i.e., more than 50%) is barred from recovery. Wyoming's Recreational Use Statute (Wyo. Stat. § 34-19-101 et seq.) provides significant landowner immunity for persons entering private property for recreation without fee.
