What Are the Grounds for a Lawsuit in Lemon Law?
Under federal lemon laws, you may have grounds for a lawsuit if the manufacturer has been unable to properly repair your defective product in a reasonable number of attempts. You may be entitled to a replacement product or full refund for the purchase price.
You may also be able to recover attorney fees if you hired an attorney to handle your claim. Federal lemon laws are typically more beneficial to consumers in various ways.
They cover used and new products and do not place mileage restrictions on motor vehicles like most states do. However, it is important to involve an experienced lemon law attorney who understands the ins and outs of federal lemon laws and can protect your legal rights every step of the way.
Federal Lemon Laws
What Is the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act?
The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act offers protection to consumers who purchase products worth more than $25 that come with a written warranty.
This federal act serves to help prevent manufacturers from using unfair warranty agreements and also makes it easier for a consumer to bring a warranty suit against a manufacturer by providing for the awarding of attorney’s fees.
What Is the Uniform Commercial Code?
The Uniform Commercial Code applies to the sale of products throughout the U.S. and gives the consumer the right to refund or replacement of a product that is a lemon.
This code, however, does not specifically define a “lemon” and so the outcome of your case may vary depending upon the court decision, as well as your protection under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act and your state’s lemon law.
