California Lemon Law Services
When you purchase or lease a new car, the last thing you expect is to end up with a lemon — a defective vehicle that causes frustration and unexpected expenses. Fortunately, California’s lemon law provides legal recourse for consumers in such situations.
If your vehicle fails to meet the manufacturer’s warranty after a reasonable number of repair attempts, Norman Taylor & Associates, a leading California lemon law firm, is here to help you understand your rights and pursue the resolution in your best interest.
What Is California Lemon Law?
California’s Lemon Law is a consumer protection law designed to safeguard individuals who have purchased or leased vehicles with significant defects. Under this law, you may be eligible for compensation if your car experiences issues that cannot be repaired during the first 18 months of ownership or the first 18,000 driven (whichever occurs first).
Not the original owner or lessee? You may still have a valid Lemon Law claim if the defects arose within the specified time and mileage limits.
To pursue a lemon law claim, consult a knowledgeable attorney specializing in California lemon law. At Norman Taylor & Associates, we have extensive experience handling lemon law cases and guiding you through the process. Our team of dedicated attorneys will fight for your rights.
What Qualifies as a Lemon Under California Lemon Law?
Your vehicle must meet specific criteria to qualify as a lemon under California lemon law.
Firstly, the defect must be covered by the vehicle’s written warranty and substantially impair the car’s use, value, or safety. Secondly, the dealership must not have repaired or corrected the problem after a reasonable amount of attempts. It’s important to keep detailed records of each repair attempt, including fully itemized statements of the work performed.
