About Wyoming
Wyoming, the "Equality State", consists of majestic mountains and wide-open plains in the western
United States. While steeped in the history of the
American West, Wyoming embodies a slower, more serene pace of life.
According to the 2000 Census, Wyoming was the least populated U.S. state with only
493,782 residents.
Cheyenne, the state capital, accounted for over 53,000 of these residents. Other major cities with populations greater than 10,000 include Casper, Evanston, Gillette, Green River, Laramie, Rock Springs and Sheridan.

Truck Accident Lawyers
Did you know that every 16 minutes
a person is killed or injured in a truck accident? Did you know that big rig
truck accidents continue to increase? Even with these frightening scenarios and
statistics, powerful trucking industry lobbyists continue to call for the
weakening of truck safety rules and regulations to reap a higher profit.
When truck collisions do occur, trucking companies involved in
the accident often send representatives to the accident scene.
These agents work to handle everything at the scene of the accident so that they
can limit or mitigate their company’s liability.
