Questions About West Virginia’s Lemon Law
Does my vehicle qualify as a “lemon” under the law?
A lemon is an automobile that has a substantial defect that cannot be fixed with reasonable measures. A car, truck, SUV, van, RV, or other automobile may qualify, depending on the extent of the problem. To qualify your vehicle as a lemon, however, it must be linked to a warranty from the dealer or manufacturer. Here is a general guideline for determining if you have a lemon law claim:
- Your vehicle has a defect that makes it a danger, and the issue cannot be resolved by the manufacturer within a year of purchase.
- You have three documented repair attempts for the same auto problem within the first year of ownership.
State and federal lemon law rules will be taken into consideration to determine if you can seek compensation. Contact a West Virginia lemon law attorney to see if your vehicle meets lemon law requirements.
What can a lemon law attorney do for me?
An experienced Fayetteville or Beckley lemon law attorney has worked with state and federal statutes and can be a great asset when trying to get reimbursed for your defective purchase. Oftentimes, lemon owners who deal with the manufacturer or dealer themselves will be offered settlements that are inadequate. At Hewitt & Salvatore, PLLC, our lawyers know your rights and can help you get the full amount you deserve.
Can I afford a West Virginia lemon law lawyer?
Hewitt & Salvatore, PLLC, Attorneys at Law offers free consultations to all West Virginia residents who need lemon law guidance. We understand the defective vehicle is already causing you financial stress, so we never ask for payment upfront for lemon law claims. Our lawyers work on contingency, which means our legal fees are paid when your settlement is reached.
If I think my vehicle might qualify as a lemon, what should my first step be?
Contact the lemon law lawyers at Hewitt & Salvatore, PLLC. We will review your vehicle’s problems as well as the warranty and act as a liaison between the manufacturer/dealer and you. Once we have assessed the true cost of the defect (including your time, legal fees, and the inconvenience factor), we will represent your claim to the seller and attempt to collect reimbursement on your behalf.
What if the manufacturer did not inform me of my rights under the lemon law?
If the seller did not address the lemon law in writing during the time of sale, it will strengthen your case.
