Florida’s Lemon Laws were designed to be a simple process to allow customers to address grievances against manufacturers when they have a problem vehicle. Instead of there being an expensive lawsuit in court, customers can have their claims investigated and resolved in a few months. A Florida Lemon Law attorney can help you to achieve your goals.
If you win your case, the Lemon Law gives you the option to select one of two compensations. The first option is to simply replace your vehicle. If your vehicle is more than one year old, your manufacturer might not have a comparable vehicle in stock. The replacement vehicle must have a 105 percent value of the vehicle that was deemed a lemon. You can ask for a replacement, but the manufacturer may say that they do not have a comparable vehicle.
The second option is a refund. You will get back all the money that you paid to purchase your vehicle. There will be an offset for the number of miles you have driven. For example, if you drive 40,000 miles, your vehicle will lose about one third of its value with that offset.
This is why it is best to contact a Florida Lemon Law attorney as soon as you realize that you are dealing with a lemon. The sooner you address the issue and the less you use the vehicle, the greater your potential compensation will be.
