Consumer & Lemon Law
Lemon Law Claim
Lemon laws are set in place to protect consumers from purchasing cars or other vehicles that are defective but being passed off as if they were in working order. It is important to realize that every state has different Lemon Laws so it is imperative to understand what laws govern your local area before purchasing a car. When someone purchases a vehicle they put a degree of trust in the person selling the car. They expect that they will get a vehicle that will perform according to the way that it was advertised. If you have purchased a vehicle that has failed to work or has not met your expectations as explained to you by the sales representative, it is imperative that you meet with an attorney immediately.
It is important to understand that consumers have rights and when they purchase a vehicle, your state will govern what those rights are. The most important step that you can take when you are considering purchasing a vehicle is to find out what your local lemon laws are. However, if you purchase a vehicle and your state has very minimal lemon law protection, Federal laws may cover you, so you should make every effort to contact an attorney, whether or not you feel that your state’s lemon laws will cover you.
Even if you take the time to understand your state’s lemon laws, you may still have questions or concerns regarding your particular situation. Likewise, you may feel that you do qualify for the lemon law, but you will need to see an attorney to be sure. According to your state’s laws, you may be entitled to a complete refund or an exchange of your vehicle for one of the same value. Before you can take steps to get your refund or an exchange, you will need to follow certain procedures in your state. An attorney is the best way to handle your case to ensure everything is transacted according to law.
