What is the Fort Wayne Lemon Law?

Aerial view of Fort Wayne, IN

Indiana’s Lemon Law holds auto manufacturers responsible for the defective vehicles they sell and lease. If your vehicle has a warrantied defect, you may be eligible for a refund or replacement vehicle under this consumer protection statute.

Indiana designed its Lemon Law to make filing a claim accessible to all consumers. So when we prevail with your case, the manufacturer must pay your attorney’s fees. And they do so IN ADDITION to compensating you for your defective vehicle.

Do I Have a Lemon?

The Indiana Lemon Law covers standard cars and trucks (weighing less than 10,000 lbs) purchased or leased in Indiana. Your vehicle likely qualifies as a lemon if:

  • It has a defect that significantly impairs the vehicle’s use, safety, or value, AND
  • The defect is or was covered by the manufacturer’s warranty, AND
  • The auto manufacturer has failed to remedy the defect within a reasonable timeframe.

If you think you have a lemon, don’t miss out on the compensation you’re owed. Even if your vehicle doesn’t qualify under Indiana’s Lemon Law, we encourage you to reach out. Federal protections like the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act expand on state protections. It allows us to help consumers with complicated cases to secure relief from their defective vehicles.

Does the Lemon Law Apply to Used Vehicles?

Yes, the Lemon Law in Fort Wayne applies to used vehicles as well as new ones. This includes private party sales. However, your defect must be covered by the original manufacturer’s warranty or an authorized extended warranty to be eligible under Indiana’s Lemon Law.

As long as the first failed repair attempt occurred under warranty, you’re likely to qualify for compensation. This holds true even if the warranty has since expired.

How Does the Lemon Claim Process Work?

Filing a claim with Krohn & Moss, Ltd. is easy. Here’s what you can expect from the process:

1. Free Case Review

During your free case review, we’ll discuss your vehicle, its defect(s), and the repair attempts. We’ll also cover the claim process more in-depth and answer any questions you may have.

2. Building Your Case

If you have a case, we’ll gather evidence and take the steps necessary to prepare your claim. This typically starts with us notifying the auto manufacturer in writing about the defect.

3. Attempting to Resolve Without Litigation

After we send written notice to the manufacturer, we will attempt to resolve your case without resorting to litigation in a Court of Law. In some instances, we will go through the manufacturer’s informal dispute resolution program before filing suit. If so, the law requires that the program be completed within 40 days. If your case is not resolved during this time, we will prepare your case to file suit.

4. Filing Suit

Lemon law cases rarely go to trial. But we’ll do everything we can to win your case in court if you aren’t happy with the offered settlement. In fact, over 99 percent of our cases settle without having to go to trial.

5. Seeking Our Attorney’s Fees From the Manufacturer

The Indiana Lemon Law includes a fee-shifting provision. Because of this, auto manufacturers must pay your attorney’s fees when you win. And, in the extremely rare case of an unsuccessful claim, we simply don’t collect our fees. This way, we have as much at stake as you to make sure we get you a recovery.
