(Newswire.net — May 22, 2020) — If you have purchased, leased or registered defective vehicles in Pennsylvania, you are protected by the law. Such a situation is covered under the PA Lemon Law that is designed to protect you in cases where you have to repeatedly repair a car for the same issue. It also protects you in cases where your truck is left in the repair shop for an extended time without getting fixed.
In such situations, the Law could roll out potential outcomes such as a new replacement vehicle, full repurchase, or significant financial compensation that will reflect a reduction in the value of the car based on use or the problem it has.
If you have found yourself in any of the situations, here is a guide to filing a Lemon Law Claim in Pennsylvania.
-
Take Your Good or Vehicle for Repairs
For a strong Lemon Law claim you need proof of multiple repairs on your car for the same problem. Most customers fail to take their vehicles or goods for repairs because they are either too busy or because the problem is intermittent.
When you take your car for the repair you give the manufacturer an opportunity to identify the problem and fix it. If you don’t take the product or vehicle to the manufacturer, he is not obliged as he was unaware.
To make a strong claim you must have allowed the manufacturer to attempt to repair the good or vehicle multiple times without success or with reoccurring issues.
-
Keep all documents
One mistake many customers have made is to depend on the dealer or manufacturer to hold appropriate records and paperwork from the purchase, lease, or repair order.
If anything was to happen to your manufacturer or dealer’s records you will be left with no proof which would make you unable to make a claim.
Make sure you keep all documentation of your invoices, receipts, and repair orders. Save multiple copies of them if possible.
-
Reflect Every Concern
Make sure that you take note of every fault or concern when filling out your repair order and reflect them in the invoice when you take your vehicle or goods out for repair.
If the repair order doesn’t cover all your concerns, request your service administrator to make the necessary order.
-
Get an Experienced Lemon Law Lawyer
While you don’t necessarily need a lemon law attorney to present your claim, it is highly recommended that you do so as Lemon Laws are complicated and will require a certain level of experience and understanding to make the best claim.
Hiring an experienced lawyer could determine whether you have a successful or failed lemon claim so contact an experienced attorney to defend you for the best results.
-
Present your claim as early as possible
Once your case is set and you have taken your good or vehicle for repair multiple times, commence your Lemon Law claim without wasting time.
The earlier you bring up your case the more chances you have of getting the best results.
