California’s sprawling suburban geography and iconic scenic freeways have earned the state a reputation as a “driving state,” but when your new car spends more time in a repair shop than on the road, it’s more than an inconvenience; it’s frustrating, disappointing, and often unsafe. Fortunately, California offers a legal remedy to defective car owners through the California Lemon Law. If your new vehicle has a seemingly unrepairable defect or malfunction, contact a Los Alamitos Lemon Law Attorney at Young & Young APC for a prompt evaluation and immediate action on your lemon law claim.
A lemon law claim can quickly become complex, often with powerful car manufacturers pushing vehicle owners toward arbitration that benefits them more than you. Instead, legal representation by Young & Young APC brings the following advantages to your case:
Best of all, our low-hassle policy means you don’t need an office visit. We handle every aspect of your case from start to finish at no cost to you. Instead, after a free consultation, we work for you at the manufacturer’s expense.
The lemon law process begins with determining if your car’s defect or malfunction makes it a legal lemon under the California Lemon Law [Civ. Code § 1793.2(d)]. If your car meets any of the following conditions, it’s a legal lemon:
Additionally, under the lemon law presumption, if the repair attempts occurred within the first 18 months of ownership or within the first 18,000 miles, the state presumes it qualifies as a lemon, placing the burden of proving otherwise on the manufacturer.
The lemon law applies not only to newly purchased vehicles, but it also applies to new leased cars, trucks, vans, and SUVs.
The lemon law is an important legal remedy for consumers who have the right to expect a new car to be safe and reliable as promised. Unfortunately, design flaws and manufacturing errors can leave vehicles with irreparable, unsafe defects. A successful claim entitles you to full statutory purchase of your vehicle. You may also obtain a settlement covering additional expenses for car rental costs, alternative transportation, repair expenses, or towing expenses. Best of all, you pay no legal fees for the process. Instead, the manufacturer must pay your attorney’s fees and court costs.
You don’t have to take on a challenging legal process against a powerful car manufacturer alone. Instead, call or contact Young & Young APC online so we can get started on a strategy to put you back behind the wheel of a safe, reliable vehicle.
