Frequently Asked Questions
What types of vehicle issues are typically covered under Lemon Law?
The defects must affect the safety, value, or performance of the vehicle. Common covered defects include:
- Engine or transmission problems
- Brake or steering failures
- Electrical issues
- Airbag malfunctions
- Suspension or alignment defects
- Any other serious issue that affects the use of the vehicle
How many repair attempts qualify for a Lemon Law claim?
In most states, a vehicle qualifies as a lemon if the manufacturer has attempted to repair the same problem multiple times (usually 3-4 attempts) and failed to fix it.
Alternatively, if your vehicle has been out of service for 30 days or more due to repairs, you may also qualify.
Which vehicles are covered under Lemon Law?
Most new and leased vehicles are covered under the Lemon Law. This includes cars, trucks, SUVs, motorcycles, and sometimes even boats and RVs.
The vehicle must usually still be under the manufacturer’s warranty, and the problems must have occurred during this period.
What is a “lemon” under the Lemon Law?
A vehicle is considered a “lemon” if it has significant defects that impair its safety, use, or value, and the manufacturer has been unable to repair the issues after a reasonable number of attempts.
The exact criteria vary by state, but generally, if your vehicle has been in the shop for repeated repairs, you may have a valid claim.
Do I need to go to court for a breach of contract case?
Not necessarily. Many contract disputes can be resolved through negotiation, mediation, or arbitration without going to court. However, if necessary, our team is prepared to litigate on your behalf.
Can I still enforce a contract if there’s only a partial breach?
Yes, even a partial breach can give rise to a legal claim. Depending on the severity, you may be entitled to damages or contract enforcement.
How much time do I have to file a breach of contract claim?
The statute of limitations varies depending on the jurisdiction and type of contract. It’s important to act promptly to preserve your legal options.
What are the most common remedies for breach of contract?
The remedies for breach of contract typically include damages (monetary compensation), specific performance (forcing the breaching party to fulfill their part of the contract), or contract cancellation.
What can I do if my contractor is overcharging or adding extra costs?
If your contractor is overcharging you or adding unexpected costs, the first step is to review the original contract and any change orders.
Contractors are usually required to get approval for any additional costs or changes to the project scope, and failure to do so is a breach of contract.
If the contractor is trying to charge more than agreed without proper justification, you may be entitled to dispute the charges.
Our legal team can assist you in reviewing your contract, challenging the overcharges, and ensuring that you only pay for work that was approved and completed properly.
What happens if the contractor has violated the contract terms?
If your contractor has violated the terms of your contract, you have legal grounds to file a claim for breach of contract.
Depending on the nature of the violation, this could involve seeking compensation for damages (such as financial losses or additional repair costs) or enforcing specific performance (requiring the contractor to fix or complete the work).
Contracts often include specific dispute resolution clauses, such as mediation or arbitration, which can be faster alternatives to going to court.
If necessary, our legal team can represent you in court to pursue full legal action and recover the costs associated with the breach.
