Understanding the Lemon Law in Orange County
When you purchase or lease a new vehicle in Orange County, you can reasonably expect it to be safe and reliable. But if your vehicle has a defect that substantially impairs its use, value, or safety, it may be a lemon. This defect must persist after giving the manufacturer a reasonable opportunity to repair it.
The California Lemon Law, also known as the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, applies to most cars and trucks purchased in the state weighing less than 10,000 pounds. While the law provides clear guidelines about what qualifies as a lemon, proving your case can be tough. Manufacturers often have teams of skilled lawyers to fight against claims.
That’s why it’s important to turn to an experienced lemon law attorney for your Orange County claim. At Krohn & Moss, Ltd., we’ve helped thousands of California consumers secure compensation for defective vehicles. And with decades of experience, we know how to keep the claims process stress-free for our clients.
Let us handle all the legal complexities so you don’t have to! If you have a defective vehicle in Orange County, our lemon law lawyers are here to help. Call 800-875-3666 for a free case review.
Does Your Vehicle Qualify Under the Lemon Law?
To qualify for compensation in Orange County, CA, your vehicle must have a qualifying defect. You must also prove that the manufacturer had reasonable opportunities to fix it.
“Reasonable” typically means four or more repair attempts for the same defect. In cases involving significant safety issues, two repair attempts may be sufficient. Alternatively, if your vehicle has been out of service for repairs for 30 days or more, it may qualify regardless of the number of repair attempts.
You must take your vehicle in for repairs within the first 18 months or 18,000 miles of ownership. From this point, you have four years to file a claim. That said, we can still file cases under the Federal Lemon Law after this window closes.
However, the sooner you act, the greater your chance of a successful recovery. If you purchased or leased a vehicle that’s not working as it should, we recommend acting as soon as possible. Don’t wait for the Lemon Law Rights Period to expire—contact us today for a free case review!
Filing a Lemon Law Claim in Orange County
The path to compensation begins with documenting each repair attempt. If you’ve experienced more than one unsuccessful repair, our lemon law attorneys can evaluate your case.
We start by reviewing all available documentation from your purchase or lease agreement and repair history. If you’re missing any paperwork, we can track down the necessary records directly on your behalf. After gathering evidence, we handle every aspect of the legal process.
Because we carefully evaluate each case before proceeding, nearly all our cases result in settlement offers. While we manage the legal complexities, you maintain complete control over accepting or declining any settlement proposal. Our role is to present offers clearly and help you understand your options.
Understanding the Settlement Process
By law, we must present you with every settlement offer we receive, and only you can decide whether to accept. We will counsel you on every offer and provide recommendations, but only you can decide whether an offer meets your needs. We handle all negotiations and paperwork, keeping you informed throughout the process.
Most cases settle without going to trial because manufacturers recognize the strength of our claims. Our experience with every major car company helps us anticipate their responses and prepare accordingly.
In the rare case that you’re not satisfied with the settlement offer, our team is prepared to take your case a step further. We’ll fight for your rights in court to get you the compensation you’re owed.
Compensation For Orange County Residents
Upon successful resolution of your claim, you’ll return the defective vehicle to the manufacturer. In exchange, you may receive:
- A refund of your purchase price
- A replacement vehicle
- Cash compensation
If we can prove that the car company willfully violated the lemon law, you’ll be entitled to civil penalties in addition to your refund or replacement. These penalties can amount to as much as twice the price you paid for your vehicle.
If we win your case in court, you may also recover additional expenses related to the defective vehicle, including rental car costs, towing fees, and out-of-pocket repairs. The law also requires manufacturers to pay attorney fees in successful cases. which means we never charge a retainer fee and only get paid if we win or settle your case!
