Lemon Law Lawyer
By OSAblogger on Nov 18, 2009 in Thoughts on Security
California lemon law lawyer William Krieg recalls a lemon car case where a consumer turned in a defective 1997 Ford Taurus with transmission problems. The dealership was quick to offer him $1,500 toward the purchase of a new car, even though the consumer was entitled to a free replacement vehicle, according to local laws. The dealer then resold the Taurus, without repairing the transmission, to another unknowing buyer. After much hassle, the new owner hired a lawyer who was well versed in lemon law legislation and was awarded not just $10 million for the trouble, but also an additional $17,811 to compensate for the money they spent on repairs. The local dealer agreed to pay these hefty sums before the case went to trial. “The cost-benefit analysis for Ford showed that the practice was too compelling to stop,” said Krieg, who added that they’re pursuing more class action lawsuits now than ever.
One benefit of calling a lemon law lawyer is that you’ll gain access to the firm’s excellent research. They’ll be able to check with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration regarding your vehicle. Sometimes the manufacturer has issued a recall, which may entitle you to free repairs for the defect your car, truck or SUV is known for. For instance, the 2007 Chrysler Pacific with the 4.0 liter engine reportedly had an engine compartment fire hazard. The 2006-2008 Hummers had a similar defect, the NHTSA found. Seeking lawyer help is the quickest and easiest way to sort through the exhaustive information about your purchase.
Perhaps you feel hesitant to seek car lemon law legal advice because you don’t really have the money for a lawyer’s fees. After all, a great deal of money is being tossed around just trying to get your vehicle repaired! Like many Americans, you are struggling financially. This is all the more reason to seek out lemon law lawyers though! Most reputable law firms will not charge you an upfront fee to take on your case. Instead, they collect their payment once the case has been won and the settlement has been awarded. Usually, the settlements are for the maximum allowance by law, which could be up to the purchase price of the vehicle, minus the miles driven, plus the legal fees. In the end, it’s as though you received free attorney advice and assistance.
While a lemon law lawyer isn’t absolutely necessary to come to an agreement with the dealer or manufacturer, it’s helpful to have someone else working for you. It can be frustrating and lonesome taking your car in for repairs all the time, drowning in debt and wondering when or if you’ll ever be compensated. Legal advice will fill you in on the federal and local laws that pertain to your case, which will make you a more informed consumer. Then you can be sure you will never fall for these misleading dealer tricks again.
