What Is a “Lemon” Car in Indiana?

In Indiana, a “lemon car” refers to a new vehicle that has a substantial defect that impairs its use, value, or safety and cannot be fixed within a reasonable number of repair attempts. Indiana’s Lemon Law applies to vehicles purchased or leased in the state, as long as the issues occur within 18 months of delivery or before the vehicle reaches 18,000 miles, whichever comes first.

Some common examples of defects we see include persistent engine trouble, transmission failure, braking system issues, electrical malfunctions, steering problems, and other safety-related defects. Even cosmetic defects can sometimes qualify, especially if they reduce the value of the vehicle or the manufacturer cannot repair them.

One key requirement under Indiana’s Lemon Law is that the manufacturer (or its authorized dealer) must be given a “reasonable number of attempts” to fix the problem. Typically, this means at least four attempts to repair the same issue, or the vehicle is out of service for a total of 30 business days or more.

Why Hire a Lemon Law Lawyer?

You might be wondering: “Why should I hire a lawyer for this? Can’t I just deal with the manufacturer myself?” And the truth is, “YES, you can certainly try”. But manufacturers often make the process confusing and difficult on purpose.

As experienced Lemon Law lawyers in Indianapolis, we’ve seen every excuse and stall tactic manufacturers use to delay, deny, or lowball your claim. We know the law inside and out, and we know how to negotiate for what you actually deserve.

What’s more, Indiana Lemon Law includes a provision that allows consumers to recover attorney’s fees. That means that in many cases, the manufacturer, not you, ends up covering the legal fees. Our goal is to make this process as simple and risk-free for you as possible.

How to File a Lemon Car Claim with HC Bradley LLC

Filing a Lemon Law claim with us is straightforward, and we take pride in walking each of our clients through the process step by step. Here’s how it typically works:

Step 1: Contact Our Office

The first thing you’ll want to do is reach out to us for a free consultation. You can call us directly or fill out the contact form on this page. We’ll respond quickly and begin evaluating your case. We’ll ask you a few basic questions about your car, such as:

  • The make, model, and year
  • When and where you bought or leased it
  • The nature of the problems you’re experiencing
  • How many times the car has been in for repairs
  • Whether the issues started within the Lemon Law timeframe

If it sounds like you may have a valid claim, we’ll request copies of your repair orders, warranty documents, and any correspondence with the dealer or manufacturer.

Step 2: Case Review and Legal Strategy

Once we have your documentation, we’ll perform a detailed review to determine whether your car qualifies under the Indiana Lemon Law. If it does, we’ll draft a demand letter to the manufacturer outlining the facts of your case and requesting either a refund or a replacement vehicle, whichever is appropriate based on your situation.

Because we’ve handled so many cases in Indianapolis and throughout Indiana, we know how each manufacturer typically responds, and we tailor our strategy accordingly.

Step 3: Negotiation and Resolution

Most Lemon Law cases settle without needing to go to court. Once we send the demand, manufacturers often come to the table with an offer. We negotiate aggressively on your behalf to make sure you receive fair compensation, whether that’s a refund, replacement vehicle, or even cash compensation if you choose to keep the car.

And if they refuse to be reasonable? We’re not afraid to litigate. We’ve represented clients in courtrooms across Indiana, and we’re fully prepared to fight for you if that’s what it takes.

Why HC Bradley LLC?

At HC Bradley LLC, we pride ourselves on offering the kind of personalized attention you just won’t get from larger firms or national claim processors. When you work with us, you’re not just another case number. You’ll have direct access to experienced attorneys who genuinely care about your situation and will keep you informed every step of the way.

We’ve built our practice on helping honest people hold manufacturers accountable when they sell defective vehicles. Whether you’re dealing with a faulty transmission, a glitchy infotainment system, or a major safety issue, we’re ready to take your case seriously.

We Handle More Than Just Cars

While passenger vehicles make up the majority of Lemon Law claims, we also handle claims involving SUVs, pickup trucks, motorcycles, and even RVs in some cases. If it’s under warranty and it’s not working the way it should, we want to hear about it.

It doesn’t matter whether you bought your vehicle from a large dealership in downtown Indianapolis or a smaller lot in the surrounding counties, if your car qualifies under the law, we will represent your rights and work to recover what you’re owed.

Get Peace of Mind Today

No one expects to buy a lemon. You put your trust in the dealership and the manufacturer, and when they let you down, it can feel like you’re stuck with no options. But Indiana law gives you a powerful way to fight back, and we’re here to help you use it.

Don’t waste any more time wondering whether your vehicle qualifies or trying to deal with the manufacturer on your own.
