Wyo. Stat. Ann. § 1-38-101 (2026).
Text
Whenever the death of a person is caused by wrongful act,
neglect or default such as would have entitled the party injured
to maintain an action to recover damages if death had not
ensued, the person who would have been liable if death had not
ensued is liable in an action for damages, even though the death
was caused under circumstances as amount in law to murder in the
first or second degree or manslaughter. If the person liable
dies, the action may be brought against the executor or
administrator of his estate. If he left no estate within the
state of Wyoming, the court may appoint an administrator upon
application.
