Description

Appellant Ernest Troyer, a victim of multiple sclerosis, suffered back injuries when an elevator in his home malfunctioned. He brought suit against the seller of the elevator, the manufacturer of the component part which failed, and the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation of the Wyoming Department of Health and Social Services (division), which had procured and inspected the elevator on appellants behalf. The district court granted the divisions motion to dismiss with prejudice on grounds that the claim was barred by the Wyoming Governmental Claims Act (Claims Act). We must decide whether the "health care provider" exception to the Claims Act permits the claim against the division and in the alternative whether the Claims Act is unconstitutional under several provisions of the Wyoming and United States constitutions.
