Lemon Law

Have you purchased or leased a vehicle in California only to find yourself constantly returning to the repair shop due to persistent issues? You're not alone. Each year, an estimated 150,000 vehicles sold in California are considered lemons. At Drake the Lawyer, we specialize in navigating the complexities of California's Lemon Laws to ensure you don't just settle for a defective vehicle—because you deserve better.

What Is the California Lemon Law?

The California Lemon Law is designed to protect consumers who buy or lease vehicles and other consumer products that fail to meet standards of quality and performance. It covers a wide range of vehicles under warranty—from cars and trucks to motorcycles and even the chassis of motor homes. Here’s what you need to know:

• Coverage: The law applies to new and used vehicles with an existing warranty.
• Eligibility: Vehicles must be purchased from a dealership or manufacturer. Private sales are not covered.
• Repair Attempts: If a manufacturer or dealer cannot fix a vehicle after a reasonable number of attempts, the law mandates a refund or replacement.
• Compensation: Includes a refund or replacement of the vehicle and may cover related damages and legal fees.

What Remedies Are Available Under the Lemon Law?

California Lemon Law provides several remedies to ensure consumers are not stuck with a faulty vehicle:

• Vehicle Repurchase: The manufacturer repurchases the vehicle, refunding the cost minus any usage fee based on mileage.
• Vehicle Replacement: An option to replace the vehicle with a new one that is comparable in terms of model and configuration.
• Cash Compensation: Sometimes, cash compensation might be the best resolution depending on the case specifics.
• Coverage of Legal Fees: Manufacturers are required to cover reasonable attorney's fees, making it financially feasible for consumers to assert their rights.

Steps to Take if You Suspect You Have a Lemon

1. Document Everything: Keep a detailed record of all repairs and communications with the dealership or manufacturer.
2. Note the Issues: Ensure that all issues are properly logged by the service provider, and that the documents accurately reflect the problems and the attempts to fix them.
3. Consult with a Specialist: Contact a Lemon Law attorney at Drake the Lawyer to review your case and guide you on the best steps forward.

Understanding the Time Limits for Lemon Law Claims

Timing is crucial when dealing with Lemon Law claims. Understanding the statutes of limitations is essential to ensure you don't miss your opportunity for recourse. Under California law, you generally have four years from the date you first noticed the defect to file a claim. However, issues must have occurred during the warranty period to be eligible. Early legal consultation can prevent missing critical deadlines and enhance the success of your case.

4. Negotiation: Our experienced attorneys negotiate with the manufacturers and dealerships. We aim for a settlement that covers all your financial losses and, when possible, additional compensation for the inconvenience and any emotional distress.
5. Litigation: If negotiations do not yield a satisfactory outcome, we are prepared to take your case to court. Our seasoned litigators are committed to achieving the best possible results through a trial.
6. Resolution and Follow-Up: Once your case is resolved, whether through settlement or court judgment, we ensure that the terms are fully executed. We continue to provide support and guidance until you have received all due compensation.

The Impact of a Lemon Law Claim on Your Life

Dealing with a lemon vehicle can disrupt your life significantly. Beyond the inconvenience, it can pose safety risks and create financial strain due to repeated repairs and lost time. Winning a Lemon Law claim can relieve these burdens by:

• Restoring Financial Stability: Reimbursement for your vehicle and compensation for related expenses help alleviate the financial impact.
• Ensuring Safety: Replacing or refunding a defective vehicle protects you and your family from potential dangers associated with vehicle malfunctions.
• Providing Peace of Mind: Resolving these issues can relieve the stress and frustration of dealing with a lemon, allowing you to move forward with confidence.
