The California Lemon Law Is One Law That Is On The Side Of The Consumer!

The Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, more popularly known as the California Lemon law has been a real plus for consumers in helping them deal with the very big auto manufacturers when they've bought a lemon. According to this law, if it is determined, by a set of qualifications, that your vehicle is a lemon, then the consumer has a right to ask for his money back or to get another new vehicle equal to the one he originally purchased.

This law did not always exist. Consumers and consumer advocates lobbied, wrote to the Governor of the state and did everything humanly possible to get this law passed, and they did. This law now exists throughout California; in every city, town and county.

But what many consumers don't realize is that they can qualify for this law even if their vehicle is not new, as long as it is still under warranty. The California Lemon Law will still cover it. So many people do not know this facet of this law and spend years driving and repairing a lemon when they could hire themselves a California Lemon Law Attorney and get their money back or perhaps a new vehicle.

You see, the vehicle manufacturer is required, under this law, to make sure that the consumer is satisfied with his vehicle. If the person that purchased their automobile, SUV, truck, RV or motorcycle has continuous problems with it; and there are several attempts to repair the vehicle but to no avail; then you will more than likely qualify under this law.

The law in fact states that the vehicle manufacturers need to make a reasonable number of attempts which do not fix the problem, before the consumer can file a lemon law claim. But that just simply is not true in every case. Yes, it does state that a reasonable number needs to be tried, but every case is different. And in the chance that the consumer has a vehicle with a problem that could cause death or bodily harm, then you can qualify without making sure you make several attempts at fixing it.

After visiting a California Lemon Law Attorney, you will know if you have enough substantiation to proceed with an action against the dealership and manufacturer. Some attorneys will do a free phone consultation and evaluations to make sure that you have enough reason to file a claim. If you do, many will not charge any money out of your pocket to take the case on and you have nothing to lose to proceed.

This California law is definitely one that is for the consumer and will make sure that you never end up with a lemon. Before you make a call for a free evaluation, make sure that you have all purchase and/or repair paperwork in front of you. In a matter of minutes the attorney will inform you if you have all it takes to qualify.
