We want to walk you through what it’s like to work with our firm, what steps to take when you’re ready to file a claim, and most importantly, how we fight to get our clients the compensation or replacement they deserve.
What Qualifies as a Lemon in Indiana?
Before diving into the claim process, let’s clear up what actually qualifies as a “lemon” under Indiana law. Generally speaking, if you’ve purchased or leased a new vehicle that develops a significant defect within the first 18 months or 18,000 miles (whichever comes first), and the manufacturer or authorized dealer can’t fix it after a reasonable number of repair attempts, your vehicle may be considered a lemon.
A “reasonable number” is typically defined as:
- Four or more attempts to repair the same issue, or
- Your vehicle is out of service for 30 or more business days for repairs during the warranty period.
This law applies to new cars, light trucks, and SUVs that are purchased or leased in Indiana. If this sounds like your situation, keep reading, you may have a valid lemon law claim, and HC Bradley LLC can help.
Why Hire HC Bradley LLC?
We understand that no one plans to need a lemon law attorney, and most people don’t know where to begin when they realize they might own a lemon. That’s why we focus on making the process clear, supportive, and results-driven. Our Indianapolis office works directly with clients throughout Indiana, and our legal team is laser-focused on consumer protection law, especially lemon law claims.
What makes us different is that we’re not afraid to go head-to-head with large manufacturers. We know their tactics, we understand the nuances of both state and federal lemon laws, and we use that knowledge to aggressively protect our clients’ rights.
Plus, we don’t get paid unless we win your case. Our legal fees are typically covered by the manufacturer when we’re successful, which means you don’t pay anything out of pocket to pursue your claim.

How to File a Lemon Law Claim with HC Bradley LLC
We make filing a lemon law claim as simple and streamlined as possible. Here’s what the process typically looks like:
Initial Consultation
The first step is reaching out to us. During your initial consultation, we’ll ask questions about your vehicle, the issues you’ve experienced, the number of repair attempts, and any documentation you have (such as repair orders and service records). Don’t worry if you’re not sure you qualify, we’ll help determine that.
Case Evaluation
Once we gather your information, we’ll conduct a detailed evaluation of your claim. If we believe your vehicle meets the criteria under Indiana’s Lemon Law, we’ll officially take your case and prepare to move forward. We may also look into protections available under the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, which can broaden your options.
Documentation Gathering
We’ll help you collect and organize all necessary documentation, including:
- Purchase or lease agreement
- Warranty documentation
- Records of all repair attempts
- Communication with the dealership or manufacturer
Our team will handle all the legal paperwork and draft a demand letter to the manufacturer on your behalf.
Negotiation and Resolution
In most cases, manufacturers prefer to settle these cases out of court. We will negotiate with them to pursue the remedy you deserve—this could be a vehicle replacement, a buyback, or monetary compensation. If they refuse to cooperate or offer an unfair settlement, we’re fully prepared to litigate in court.
Our job is to take the pressure off your shoulders while pursuing the best possible outcome. You don’t have to face the manufacturer alone, we’ve done this many times, and we know how to win.
You Get Results, And Peace of Mind
When we secure a favorable outcome, you’ll receive the compensation you’re entitled to. That might include a full vehicle refund, reimbursement for payments made, or a replacement vehicle of comparable value.
Throughout the entire process, you’ll be working directly with our experienced attorneys and legal staff. We’re communicative, transparent, and fully committed to making sure your voice is heard.
