DuPage County Illinois Lemon Law Lawyer
At HC Bradley LLC, we’ve built a reputation for standing up for consumers in DuPage County, Illinois, who have had the unfortunate experience of purchasing a defective vehicle. As a DuPage County Lemon Law lawyer, we understand how frustrating and disheartening it can be to invest in a car, truck, or SUV, only to discover that it’s riddled with mechanical issues that the manufacturer or dealer seems unwilling or unable to fix. If you find yourself in this situation, you’re not alone, and you do have options. Illinois Lemon Law is here to protect you, and our firm is here to guide you through the process.
Understanding Illinois Lemon Law
The Illinois New Vehicle Buyer Protection Act, commonly referred to as the Lemon Law, is designed to protect consumers who purchase or lease new vehicles that fail to meet quality and performance standards. If your vehicle has a significant defect that affects its use, safety, or value and the manufacturer cannot repair it after a reasonable number of attempts, you may be entitled to relief under the law.
It’s important to note that Illinois Lemon Law applies only to new vehicles and does not typically cover used vehicles. The defect must occur within the first 12 months or 12,000 miles of ownership, whichever comes first. Additionally, the law applies only if the defect is covered under the manufacturer’s warranty and if you’ve given the manufacturer a reasonable opportunity to repair the issue.
How to Know If You Have a Lemon
Not every car issue qualifies under the Illinois Lemon Law, so it’s essential to determine whether your vehicle meets the criteria. Here are some key indicators that you might have a lemon:
- Repeated Repairs: You’ve taken the vehicle in for the same repair multiple times, and the issue still persists.
- Extended Downtime: Your vehicle has been out of service for a cumulative total of 30 days or more due to repairs.
- Serious Safety Issues: The defect poses a significant safety risk to you or others on the road.
If your situation matches any of the above, it’s time to take action. Call HC Bradley LLC today at (630) 453-5159 or fill out the form on this page, and we will get back to you shortly.

Filing a Lemon Law claim can be a complex process, but that’s where we come in. At HC Bradley LLC, we make it our mission to simplify the legal process for our clients and ensure they receive the compensation or replacement vehicle they deserve. Here’s how we can help:
- Initial Consultation
The first step is to schedule a consultation with our team.
