Wyoming trial courts act as gatekeepers for expert testimony and ask whether the economist is qualified by training and experience, whether the method is reliable and accepted in the profession, and whether it fits the facts of the case.

Wyoming reduces a negligence-based award by the plaintiff's share of fault and bars recovery once that share exceeds the combined fault of the defendants, and the state constitution bars any legislative limit on damages for injury or death. Prejudgment interest is generally limited to liquidated sums, such as an unpaid contract balance, and not awarded on unliquidated damages. Economic damages are not subject to a general statutory limit, so the report identifies the liquidated components separately and states the projected components as of a fixed date.
The same four steps apply to a wrongful termination case venued in Wyoming; the damages framework above decides which components enter the total.
Wrongful Termination cases venued in Wyoming are heard in the District Court (General jurisdiction; 9 judicial districts across 23 counties). Final appeals run to the Wyoming Supreme Court. Matters within federal jurisdiction proceed in the United States District Court for the District of Wyoming.
