First, your vehicle must have significant defects or nonconformities that impair its use, value, or safety. These defects must have occurred within the warranty period provided by the manufacturer. Additionally, you must have given the manufacturer or its authorized dealers a reasonable number of attempts to repair the defect. Typically, this means at least two repair attempts for a serious safety defect that could cause injury or death, at least four repair attempts for a less serious defect, or the vehicle has been out of service for repairs for a cumulative total of 30 days or more

Lemon Law refers to state and federal laws designed to protect consumers who purchase defective vehicles. In California, the Lemon Law (officially known as the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act) ensures that consumers are entitled to a replacement or refund if their new or used vehicle, covered by a warranty, has significant defects that the manufacturer or its authorized dealer cannot repair after a reasonable number of attempts. These laws aim to provide a remedy for buyers of vehicles that repeatedly fail to meet standards of quality and performance

At Lemon Law Max by Zand Law, we specialize in aggressively pursuing Lemon Law claims to ensure our clients receive the maximum compensation they deserve. Our experienced attorneys will:

1. Evaluate Your Case: We thoroughly review your vehicle's repair history and the details of your warranty to determine the strength of your claim.

2. Handle All Communications: We take over all communications with the manufacturer and their attorneys to ensure your rights are protected.

3. Negotiate Aggressively: Our skilled negotiators will push for the best possible settlement, whether that means a replacement vehicle, a buyback, or a cash settlement.

4. No Upfront Costs: We operate on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless we win your case.

California Lemon Law covers a wide range of vehicles, including:

• New and Used Cars: As long as they are still under the manufacturer’s warranty.

• Trucks and SUVs: Both personal and commercial vehicles.

• Motorcycles: Covered under certain conditions.

• Recreational Vehicles (RVs): Motorhomes and other recreational vehicles.

• Leased Vehicles: Vehicles that are leased rather than purchased.

• Dealer-Owned Vehicles: Demonstrator or dealer-owned vehicles.

The compensation from a successful Lemon Law claim can vary, but generally, you can expect:

1. Vehicle Replacement: You may be entitled to a comparable new vehicle replacement.

2. Refund: A refund of your purchase price, including down payment, monthly payments, and any remaining loan balance, minus a usage fee based on the mileage driven before the first repair attempt.

3. Cash Settlement: A monetary settlement to compensate for the defect and inconvenience without returning the vehicle.

4. Incidental Costs: Reimbursement for related expenses such as towing, rental cars, and repairs.

5. Attorney's Fees: The manufacturer typically pays for your legal fees if your claim is successful, meaning no out-of-pocket costs for you.

The duration of the Lemon Law process can vary significantly depending on the specifics of each case, including the nature of the defects, the manufacturer's responsiveness, and the need for additional evidence or litigation. Each situation is unique, and timelines can range from a few months to over a year in more complex cases.
