How Our Ford Lemon Law Attorneys Can Help

Lemon law claims are complicated; not every vehicle defect makes a car a lemon. To have a valid claim, the defect must substantially impair the performance, safety, or value of your Ford. Also, the dealer must be given a reasonable number of attempts to repair the vehicle, which can be as few as one for safety defects or up to 3 for defects that impact the performance or value of the vehicle. In any event, it is crucial to keep all repair invoices and maintain records of all communications with the dealer. This will help to substantiate your lemon law claim. 

Let our legal team handle all the details of your claim, including:

• Reviewing your vehicle’s repair history
• Collecting evidence – the sales contract or lease agreement, manufacturer’s warranty, repair bills
• Handling all communications with the automaker, dealer, and opposing counsel
• Negotiating a settlement through the arbitration process 
• Filing a lemon law lawsuit in state court if necessary
