You Can Win Your Lemon Law Battle

By Karen Kirby

Winning a lemon law battle can be time consuming. However, the lemon law is there to protect you, and it's becoming easier to win your case.

First of all you should get your state's information on lemon laws, consider all of your options, call the lemon law 800 number, and put your trust in the men and women who know what to do to get you a fair lemon law settlement. They will answer all of your questions, for example, "Who pays lemon law court fees?" Every state has lemon laws that are a little different, but by all means put your faith in the lemon law system.

Using the power of your state's law system, you will find all the answers you need. They will do the work for you and charge you little for the work. In the end, if they win the case, the person who sold you the lemon will pay your court fees anyway!

In many states, arbitration is used to solve problems when a car still under warranty turns out to be a lemon.

Lemon law provisions, like those of the California lemon law, often allow for a specific arbitration process that saves you time and money over expensive court hearings. Under the California lemon law, there is an arbitration process that the Better Business Bureau uses that helps consumers with lemon cars.

Check into the exact lemon law requirements of your state, and before going immediately to court, it may be in your best interest to use an arbitrator.

Just be sure to get started right away by making the right contacts and keeping documentation.
