How Do You Know If Your Vehicle Qualifies for a Lemon Law Claim?
Not every defective vehicle qualifies as a “lemon” under Illinois law. However, many consumers are surprised to learn that they meet the criteria for a claim. In Illinois, a vehicle may be considered a lemon if it:
Has a substantial defect: The defect must significantly impair the vehicle’s use, value, or safety.
Is covered under the manufacturer’s warranty: The issue must arise while the vehicle is still under the original manufacturer’s warranty.
Has undergone multiple repair attempts: If the manufacturer or authorized dealer has attempted to fix the same issue at least four times without success, or the vehicle has been out of service for a cumulative total of 30 or more business days, it may qualify.
Is a passenger vehicle or light truck: The Illinois Lemon Law covers new vehicles purchased or leased in the state. Used vehicles with warranties may also be covered under certain circumstances.
If you are experiencing any of these issues, you may have a valid Lemon Law claim. 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.
How to File a Lemon Law Claim with HC Bradley LLC
Filing a Lemon Law claim can be complex, but we make the process simple and stress-free for our clients. Here’s how we help you every step of the way:
1. Free Consultation
The first step is to reach out to us for a free consultation. During this conversation, we will review the details of your case, including repair records, warranty information, and your vehicle’s history. Our goal is to determine if your claim meets the legal requirements for Illinois Lemon Law protection.
2. Gathering Documentation
To build a strong case, we will help you gather and organize essential documents, such as:
-
- Purchase or lease agreement
- Repair invoices and work orders
- Correspondence with the manufacturer or dealership
- Warranty details – Accurate and thorough documentation is key to a successful claim, and our team ensures that no critical details are overlooked.
3. Manufacturer Notification
Under Illinois law, the manufacturer must be given a final opportunity to fix the defect before a Lemon Law claim can proceed. We will formally notify the manufacturer of the ongoing issue and request a resolution. This step often results in a swift resolution, as manufacturers may offer a refund or replacement vehicle to avoid further legal action.
4. Negotiation and Settlement
If the manufacturer does not comply, we aggressively negotiate on your behalf. Our experienced attorneys are skilled in handling Lemon Law claims and will fight to get you the compensation you deserve. This may include:
-
- A full refund, including taxes, registration fees, and other related costs
- A replacement vehicle of equal value
- Compensation for additional expenses incurred due to the defective vehicle
5. Litigation, If Necessary
In some cases, manufacturers refuse to cooperate. When that happens, we are fully prepared to take your case to court. Our litigation experience and deep understanding of Illinois Lemon Law make us formidable advocates for our clients.
