Lemon Law: Why You Should Consult With An Attorney

If you’ve purchased a car and discovered that it is continually malfunctioning, is unsafe and/or defective it means your car is a lemon and you have a lemon law case against the manufacturer. What you are to do is find an attorney that specializes in the California Lemon Law and get a free consultation to see if your vehicle really qualifies under the law. But the first thing you should do is to immediately notify the dealer you have purchased the vehicle from. He has to make reasonable number of attempts to fix the problem. If after those attempts the problem still continues to impair the use/safety of the vehicle you should consult with an attorney who will explain the different types of claims as well as specifics that apply to your particular situation and case. But even if the vehicle is over 18 months old or over 18,000 miles the CA lemon law allows the consumer to file a claim as long as the vehicle is under warranty. There are many people who have a two or even three years old car that has an extended warranty. If that is your situation, you should consult with an attorney and again, see if you qualify. It is very important to keep good documentation every time your car is repaired and any transaction you have with your vehicle that you believe is a lemon. When you write a letter to the manufacturer/dealership, include copies of your repairs and all paperwork that can substantiate your claim. This will make them take notice of your particular situation and try to rectify it. This law entitles you to get a refund or replacement and with a professional lemon law attorney you have all chances to obtain justice.
