A Real Life Example On How This Law Works – California Lemon Law
April 26th, 2009So many people ask, “What is the California Lemon Law?” If you aren’t an attorney, sometimes you can only answer that with what you’ve heard or through someone you know. Everyone has a perspective on this law; attorneys and lay people alike. But one thing that all agree upon is that it was passed for the consumer and has helped hundreds of thousands of people obtain retribution for their lemon vehicle.
Again, not being an attorney, you sometimes wonder what you can do and what can’t you do when it comes to a law. And many times you learn about a law by living it through someone else’s real life experience. So to better understand how the process of the California Lemon Law works, we will follow the path of someone who experienced it first hand.
When a friend of my brothers purchased a new sports car and started to have issues, I watched and learned and he began to investigate what options he had legally. He quickly discovered that the transmission was defective; it just wouldn’t shift into gear only several months after he purchased the automobile.
He did his due diligence and found out that this law in California gives consumers a lawful way to fight back, when you are facing the Goliath vehicle manufacturers. He discovered that this law immediately goes into effect from the moment you purchase your car, motor home, truck, motorcycle, SUV, etc. He was thrilled that he had the tools to go up against those that did him wrong.
So here was my brother’s friend with this expensive sports car that he couldn’t drive. He called the dealership and they towed the car in. After calling him a day later and saying that it was fine, he picked it up only to discover that it still was stiff and wouldn’t easily shift into gear.
He turned the car around and brought it back to the dealership. This happened several more times and at that point he knew he had purchased a lemon and had to take action. After investigating online for a lemon law specialist, he found his attorney and proceeded with the action against the manufacturer.
What my brother’s friend learned was that you can get a California Lemon Law Attorney specialist to give you a free evaluation to find out if you even qualify for this law. And many times, especially with a lawyer that specializes in this, he will work without any out of pocket expense to you.
I’m sure you’re wondering how this all turned out. He did qualify for this law and the attorney represented him. Within 60 days, he got reimbursed for all his time and he was given a brand new car.
This is one law that really works for the consumer. If you have a vehicle that you believe is a lemon, call a specialist and find out if you qualify. It doesn’t cost a thing and it can get you reimbursement or a brand new vehicle.
