What is “LEMON LAWS” ?

The name of this law came from the meaning of an ordinary fruit-not as tasty as it seems for the first time. The same stuff we can get and then should use this kind of law. There is a suitable phrase – “to hand а lemon”- we buy firstly good thing, but really useless.

Unique law is made for protection rights and interests of a consumer with spoiled production. It is used standard for cars and other large lemon purchases. Some time bad product can crowd an unspoiled out of the market. If you buy something above 25 dollars – from a car by a teapot – and there is anything wrong with it, you can boldly ask for remedy paying during the process no cent. BUT: it spreads only over goods with a manufacturer’s warranty.

Maybe, your warranty has just ended. In such a case you can expect for help of the Law, but please, pay attention to what I mean under “just” – about a year or a half of a year (for a car, for example); of course, for smaller things the time is shorter.

If you purchase broken TV and its warranty is in your hands, you can expect this problem to solve like this:

1) replacement for your lemon
2) changing the good for a new one or another
3) quality for money back

Equitable question here would be “What should I do, if I buy product without warranty, but find in it any defects?” So, that is separated amount of accidents known as a “Consumer Fraud”. The most spread situation in this category is a purchase of a wrong car: often you can be told only the best pieces of the history of thing you like, you can not know real run or facts of being in a crash. To avoid this you can ask for a history report of a car you need in well known Carfax site. You’ll get all qualities and facts you need about exact kind of a car for 25 dollars. The sum would justify the rest expenditures for disrepairs.


NECESSARY TIME

The taken time depends on only your respondent and how soon he will be able to satisfy his client’s interests – so, yours. At an average, the case takes two or three months, but take into account that nobody can guarantee it. It might last during a couple of years, too. On statistics the main American car-producers try to plead and close a case as fast as possible. En exclusion is Mercedes – it always drags out, but also content consumer interests.

DOCUMENTS YOU NEED

You should collect every document about the fact of purchasing your lemon product - receipts of a buying, warranty, repair order proving defects and the attempt of repair. You can visit Master four times until the “Lemon Laws” would take effect under your car and about two twice for equipment. In notes from the Master must be described all breakages, what happened to your lemon and what steps you take to eliminate its defects. But if you don’t leave such papers for yourself, you must use copies of them, what you can take in the place you had mended the car, fridge or kitchen range. After clear explaining to the seller in the shop the problem with purchased product he most likely would help you and satisfy your claims.

You’re plaintiff and who pay for your case, if not you?
The sense and the benefit of the law are in answer to this question. Your respondents pay for all of the process and harm almost in each accident. Another variant is that part of the money you asked goes to the company, who pleaded your case. Example:

A driver crashed and got serious damages as a consequence of the lemon car. If the producer’s company is condemned only about technical problems, the respondent – he producer’s company – pays and you get the full sum. If the producer is judged about the damages, followed the car defects – part of asked amount of money comes in the hands of the case pleaded company.

Anyway, getting in such trouble, you ought to try – they won’t rob you blind! You won’t lose anything. Begun, the bringer a suit against somebody, I mean, you, will be able to stop proceedings in every stage he wants.

If you resort to the help of the Lemon Laws and get a failure, you will just stay with the same you had before it. If by chance of success you’ll get what you wanted.
