Wyoming Liquor Liability & Dram Shop Expert Witness

Litigating a liquor liability case in Wyoming requires deep knowledge of state law. Wyoming Statute § 12-8-301 provides broad immunity for alcohol vendors, making dram shop cases rare and complex. However, liability may arise if alcohol is furnished to a minor or a visibly intoxicated person, and that service is proven to be the proximate cause of injury. For these cases, retaining a Wyoming liquor liability expert is essential.
