</script>Personal injury cost formation works differently from most other legal matters because the attorney fee is usually contingent — a percentage of any settlement or verdict rather than an hourly bill. That percentage typically rises if the case proceeds to litigation or trial rather than settling early, since more attorney hours and case costs are involved. If there is no recovery, the client generally owes no attorney fee, though case costs (filing fees, expert reports) may still apply depending on the retainer agreement.
Separate from the attorney's percentage, a personal injury case accumulates its own case costs: expert witness fees (medical experts, accident reconstructionists), records requests, deposition transcription, and court filing fees if a lawsuit is filed. Simple claims that settle directly with an insurer before litigation avoid most of these costs; complex cases involving disputed liability, multiple parties, or serious injury typically require the full expert and litigation cost stack.
Take a moderate-complexity personal injury matter in Wyoming. The recorded median total is $4,850, with reported quotes clustering between $1,950 and $9,700. Each statutory line below is sized against that median.
Added together the itemised lines come to $1,800–$6,000, which leaves roughly $0–$3,050 of the Wyoming median as professional time — the part that differs between quotes. One further recorded fee is not itemised above and is not in that total.
At $4,850, the median personal injury cost in Wyoming is in line with the $4,928 national average across all 50 states and DC.
Wyoming carries 3 rows — simple, $500–$3,000 at $0–$0/hr over 3-6 months; moderate, $1,950–$9,700 at $0–$0/hr over 6-12 months; complex, $4,700–$28,300 at $0–$0/hr over 12-36 months — on 4 shared citations. They put it below the midpoint of the table without reaching the bottom quarter.
$4,850 is a median, not the middle of the band — $2,900 above the $1,950 floor, $4,850 under the $9,700 ceiling. Every rank below is out of 28.
Wyoming occupies the 19th row of 28 for a personal injury. Its $4,850 median trails the $5,200 table midpoint by $350, which is 7% — close enough that a single firm's quote can straddle both figures.
Utah ($4,950) and Iowa ($4,800) bracket Wyoming inside a $150 window — narrow enough that 19th is close to arbitrary.
Utah, Iowa, Texas record medians within three percent of Wyoming's $4,850. A personal injury quote anywhere in that group is describing effectively the same market.

| 13 | Massachusetts | $5,300 | +$450 |
| 14 | District of Columbia | $5,250 | +$400 |

Within ten percent of the Wyoming figure there are 6 states above and only 3 below. $100 up or $50 down moves Wyoming a row, which means the ranking has far more room to improve than to slip: the personal injury field is dense overhead and sparse underneath.
Climbing five places would mean passing District of Columbia, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Utah and adding $400 to the $4,850 recorded here.
Five places down means passing under Iowa, Texas, Idaho, Kansas, North Dakota: $800.
$1,800 short of Hawaii ($6,650), $1,350 clear of Arkansas ($3,500).
From $1,950 to $9,700 the moderate band is $7,750 wide, close to the $8,325 peer median.
Per month of elapsed time the two tiers are close: about $539 a month across the 6-12 months recorded for a moderate matter, and $590 a month across the 12-36 months recorded for a complex one.
| Measure | Wyoming | Rank |
|---|---|---|
| Moderate median | $4,850 | 19th |
| Hourly median | — | — |
| Implied hours | — | — |
| Simple median | $1,500 | 20th |

The ranking barely moves across tiers — 20th at the simple tier, 19th at moderate, 19th at complex of 28 — so Wyoming keeps roughly the same relative position whether the personal injury is straightforward or contested.
$1,500 is 20th of 28 on a straightforward personal injury, under Georgia ($1,500) and over North Dakota ($1,350), $100 under the $1,600 tier midpoint.
$14,150 is 19th of 28 once contested, between Texas ($14,950) and Georgia ($14,000), $1,750 off the $15,900 tier midpoint.
The three bands are continuous in Wyoming: the simple tier reaches $3,000 where the moderate tier starts at $1,950, and the moderate tier reaches $9,700 where the complex tier starts at $4,700. A single quoted figure can therefore belong to two different tiers, and the tier label — not the number — is what identifies which.

|---|---|---|---|---|

| moderate | $4,850 | 19th | $5,200 | — |
| complex | $14,150 | 19th | $15,900 | — |

In Wyoming a personal injury is 4th of 8 at $4,850, between DUI / DWI and Immigration. At 51% of Criminal Defense ($9,450).
The state does not rank uniformly. Wyoming is 19th of 28 for Personal Injury but 37th for Bankruptcy, a 18-place spread across the matter types tracked here, so its 19th on personal injury says little about what the other lines cost.
Wyoming is not equally priced in every practice area. Measured against each matter's own midpoint, DUI / DWI sits on its own midpoint while Bankruptcy runs 17% below its own midpoint — a 17-point spread between the extremes.
The largest tracked median in Wyoming is 5x the smallest, effectively the 5.1x that the typical state records: the internal spread is ordinary even where the levels are not.
0 of 8 matter types rank Wyoming in the upper third, 1 in the lower, 7 between; personal injury is 19th.
In percentile terms it sits at the 33th percentile of the 28 tracked states.
