When Does my Vehicle Qualify?

There is really no such thing as "Qualifying." This is a common misconception (sometimes spread by uninformed individuals at your authorized dealer). First, the standards that are used by the lemon law to define nonconformities and reasonable number of repair attempts can be interpreted differently by different people. Ultimately, those people may be a jury deciding you case. Second, there are other laws which can be used to help you receive compensation in the event that you do not have a case for technical reasons under the Lemon Law. (Also see "What if I do not Meet any of the presumptions.")

Alex Simanovsky & Associates, LLC have successfully represented thousands of consumers. We have successfully obtained full refunds, vehicle and cash settlements for our clients without ever charging attorneys fees to the consumer!

What if I Start having Problems After the First Year?

You may still be entitled to compensation. There are other laws which govern warranties which may be used to assist you, including Federal law. Alex Simanovsky & Associates currently represents a great number of individuals whose vehicles did not start having problems during the Lemon Law Rights Period (See Your Lemon Law Rights).

Should I Take it in Again?

The answer to that question depends on the facts and circumstances of each case. Therefore, at this point, the best thing to do is maintain the status quo until you have the chance to speak with a qualified attorney. In other words, do not allow the condition of the vehicle to change by having any repair work done to it. However, if your vehicle is dangerous and you continue to use it, you do so at your own risk. It is important to remember that if you decide to go forward many of the manufacturers will want to inspect your vehicle. You have a much better chance of obtaining the relief you seek if you can demonstrate a defect. If you cannot, you may still be entitled to compensation, but the chances of you getting what you want may be reduced somewhat.

What are my Chances?

Alex Simanovsky & Associates represents hundreds of consumers every year with defective vehicles. As with most cases, over 98% of these cases settle to the satisfaction of both parties. Remember, the manufacturer would rather pay less now than risk paying a much larger amount to you, your attorney and their attorneys later.
