When a nursing home in Cheyenne fails the person you trusted it to care for, the gap between what you were promised and what actually happened can be hard to process. Maybe it was a bedsore that never should have formed, a fall nobody can explain, or a decline that came on faster than any doctor expected. Whatever brought you here, you're looking for answers, and you deserve them. We represent Wyoming families when a facility's neglect or abuse harms someone they love.
You know your family member better than any chart does, so trust what you’re seeing. If something feels off when you visit a Cheyenne facility, it’s worth a closer look. These are some signs to look for:
None of these prove anything on their own. But when a few of them show up at once, or an injury has no reasonable explanation, that’s usually the moment to start asking the questions.
Nursing home cases come in different shapes, and the ones we see most often in Wyoming involve neglect that led to real harm: pressure injuries, falls, untreated infections, and dehydration or malnutrition. We handle abuse cases as well, and we bring wrongful death claims when a facility's failures contributed to a death, which happens in these cases more often than families expect. Assisted living facilities are also a focus area of ours, since the promise of independence and dignity doesn't count for much when a place is understaffed and cutting corners.
We take fewer cases than most firms, on purpose, because it lets us give each family real attention. Jay Reinan has tried more than 50 jury trials over a long career, and a good share of that experience is in smaller, rural courtrooms. He grew up in a rural farming community, so this isn't unfamiliar ground for him. The firm recently won a $660,000 jury verdict in a Wyoming nursing home case, and while no lawyer can promise you the same result, it tells you we do this work here, and we're willing to take a case all the way to a jury when that's what it takes.
We don’t take every case, and we’ll be up front with you about yours. The strongest ones usually share a few things: a clear and serious injury, records and documentation that show what happened, and family members who visited and can describe what they saw. If you were the one checking in on your loved one, that matters more than you might think, because you are an important witness. The sooner we can get the facility’s records, the better positioned we are to tell you where you stand.
We're licensed in Wyoming and represent families across the state, Cheyenne included. A lot of the early work happens by phone and video, and we travel for the parts that have to happen in person, so you don't need us to be down the street to get real help.
Yes. Being in Denver has never kept us from taking Wyoming cases, and Jay Reinan's experience in rural courtrooms is part of why this work fits us. Distance is rarely the problem people worry it will be.
You may still have a case. When a facility's neglect or abuse contributed to a death, the family can often bring a wrongful death claim, and we handle those cases with care for what you're going through.
The first conversation is free, and we take these cases on a contingency fee, which means you don't owe attorney fees unless we recover for you.
