Why Do You Need a Lemon Law Attorney in Wyoming?

Wyoming’s Lemon Law (Wyo. Stat. § 40-17-101 to § 40-17-103) covers new motor vehicles for 1 year from delivery, and provides for refund or replacement when the manufacturer cannot repair a substantial defect after 3 attempts or the vehicle has been out of service for 30 cumulative days. Wyoming’s harsh winters, mountain driving, and rural geography stress drivetrain, cooling, and electrical systems and make timely repairs difficult. An experienced attorney pairs the Wyoming statute with the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (15 U.S.C. § 2301) to maximize leverage.
