Nowadays, you do not need to be stuck with a newly purchased car that has recurring problems. Almost every state has approved some type of lemon law, protecting you as a consumer from defective products. Even if you only suspect that the vehicle you've purchased could be defective, it is best that you hire an attorney to represent you. Hiring a lawyer who specializes in lemon laws during the initial stages of the problem could help you save more in the long run. These lawyers are trained to help you determine if the vehicle you purchased can be classified as a lemon or not. Technically, your newly purchased car is only considered a lemon if you have given proper attention to all of its problems, if all efforts to fix these problems have been exhausted, and if the manufacturer has been given the opportunity to try and fix the problem but cannot. You need to wait for a specified period of time - and if after that period of time the problem still persists, then your lawyer can advise you to push through with your case. There are times when even if your case does not fall under the lemon law, your lawyer will be able to help you receive proper compensation by filing for a breach of warranty. Although this alternative may not garner you as much compensation as a lemon law case, you have a greater chance of success and will likely receive more than the amount stated in the warranty. |
