If you have a car that is constantly in the shop for repairs, you may be wondering if there is anything you can do about it. The answer is yes - you can file a lemon law claim! In this blog post, we will go over five tips for successfully filing a lemon law claim. We will also discuss the benefits of having an experienced lemon law attorney on your side.
Tip #1- Know the Requirements of Your State’s Lemon Law
Each state has different requirements for what qualifies as a lemon law case. To qualify under the California Lemon Law protection, the defect your vehicle is experiencing must not have been caused by abuse, neglect, or unauthorized modifications. Check out this blog for more information on the requirements to qualify for lemon law protection.
Tip #2- Document Everything
Keep track of all repair orders, invoices, and correspondence with the dealership or manufacturer. This will be substantial evidence if your case goes to trial.
Tip #3- Give the Manufacturer a Chance to Fix the Problem
Under the lemon law, the manufacturer is given a reasonable number of attempts to fix the problem. Make sure you provide them with this opportunity before you file a claim.
Tip #4- Hire an Experienced Lemon Law Attorney
While it is possible to represent yourself in a lemon law case, it is not recommended. The process can be complicated, and having an experienced lemon law attorney on your side will increase your chances of success.
Tip # 5- Be Prepared to Go to Trial
You may have to take them to court if the manufacturer does not offer a satisfactory resolution. Be prepared for this possibility by gathering all of your evidence and documentation.
