Lemon Law Attorney in Milwaukee, WI

Lemon Law Overview

Semi Truck Lemon Law

For semi truck drivers and owner-operators, their vehicles are their livelihood. If a truck continually breaks down or does not operate correctly, the owner is in danger of losing a significant investment and going out of business.

If you leased or bought a semi truck in Wisconsin that is continually in the shop for repairs, you may be able to file a claim against the manufacturer under Wisconsin’s lemon law.

He has represented truck drivers, owner-operators and small trucking businesses.

How to Know if Your Truck Is a Lemon

Wisconsin’s lemon law will cover your semi truck for the first year after you lease or buy the vehicle. Most claims involve:

• Four or more repairs: If your truck is in the shop four times during the first year for the same problem, and that problem continues after the fourth repair attempt, the Lemon Law requires the manufacturer to either refund your full purchase price or give you a new vehicle.
• Out of service for 30 days: You deserve a refund or a replacement truck if your vehicle is out of service for various repairs at least 30 days during the first year.
• Failure to repair: If your semi truck was repaired at least once during the first year you owned or leased it, you can still recover damages after the first year if the same problem continues.

If the manufacturer refuses to refund or replace your truck, you can seek double damages plus compensation for your lawyers’ fees. Because you will be up against some of the largest companies in the world, however, it is important to have the most experienced attorney possible on your side.
