Each state has laws that protect consumers who have purchased vehicles that are defective. However, before you can get your money back or have your vehicle replaced, you must prove that the vehicle has a serious defect and that the automaker was not able to repair it in a reasonable amount of time.
You may be unaware of the fact that Lemon Laws can protect you in case you purchase a used vehicle that is defective. The key is having a warranty on the used vehicle. In order to file a claim with the help of a Lemon Law attorney, you need to have evidence that the vehicle did not live up to its warranty.
There are two key things that you should know if you feel like you purchased a Lemon. First, you may have to have all work done on the vehicle through the dealership. If you have work done on it through a different mechanic, this may void the warranty. Second, keep all records related to work that has been done on the vehicle, including receipts. These will prove useful later when you are working with your Lemon Law attorney and building a case to show that it took an unreasonable amount of time to fix your vehicle. Also, the receipts will play a role in the type of compensation that you may receive after filing a claim.
