California Lemon Law - Knowledge of the California Lemon Law Will Help Win Your Case!
As a consumer and yes, even a vehicle consumer, in the state of California we now have many rights. Because of the Song-Beverly Warranty Act, better known as the California Lemon Law, we have been given a protection from purchasing and being stuck with a "lemon."
We, as consumers, sometimes forget that we really do have rights against the large, powerful auto manufacturers. Some of our rights are obvious, while others have to be 'forced' upon the dealerships and manufacturers when they do something wrong. For example, when you purchase a lemon and they won't make good on it. That's when the California Lemon Law kicks in.
This law doesn't only apply to the few, but it covers many people in a vast variety of situations. It applies to any vehicle that has a defect and that the dealership was unable to repair after a reasonable amount of time. Even though it's not in stone how many times you would have to bring your vehicle to the repair shop to qualify, the law states that if the vehicle is in the shop for more than 30 days (not consecutive days necessarily) that it would constitute a lemon. But there are other specific rules that have to be adhered to as well, so the only way you can be sure is to contact an attorney that is a lemon law specialist and see if your situation qualifies.
There a certain stipulations that your vehicle must adhere to, to qualify for this law to cover you. But then again, there are many situations that you'd think wouldn't be covered, but they are, for example: your vehicle can be over 18 months old, your vehicle can be new, used or leased, and you can apply this law to RV's and motorcycles as well as autos and trucks.
There is so much more knowledge that you must know to understand and qualify for this law. The best thing to do is to find yourself an attorney that is a lemon law specialist. Most of them will give you a free evaluation and some of them will even begin your case, if you qualify, with no out of pocket expense to you. What they will do is to take a percentage of whatever they recover for you.
With all this knowledge, let this law work for you. If you have a lemon, don't wait, do something about it now.
