Stroth v. N. Lincoln County Hosp. Dist.
Annotate this CaseGary Carl Stroth became very sick on September 23, 2010 and died a few days later. On October 11, 2012, Appellant submitted a notice of claim against the Star Valley Medical Center (Hospital), the Town of Thayne and the Thayne Ambulance Service, alleging the Hospital and Ambulance Service were negligent in their care of Stroth and that the Town was liable under the doctrine of respondeat superior. The district court dismissed the complaint, concluding that Appellant’s claim had not been timely filed under the Wyoming Governmental Claims Act (WGCA). The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that because Appellant presented her notice of claim more than two years after the accrual of her claim, the district court correctly dismissed her complaint for failure to submit a timely notice of claim under the WGCA.
