Most NC lemon law cases never go to court. First, we build your case. Then, we present the evidence to the manufacturer. As a result, we often reach a favorable settlement without filing a lawsuit. However, manufacturers do not like replacing or buying back vehicles. Therefore, they sometimes fight back. When that happens, we file suit and take them to court.
The short answer is this: you may never need an NC lemon law lawsuit. But if you do, we are ready.
Does Your Vehicle Qualify Under the NC Lemon Law?
Before filing any claim, first check whether your vehicle qualifies. Here is how to determine that:
Step 1 — Did the problems start in the first 24 months or 24,000 miles?
If yes, then check either of the following:
- Has the vehicle been in for three or more repairs for the same defect? OR
- Has the vehicle been out of service for 20 or more business days within any 12-month period?
If yes to either, you may have a qualifying NC lemon law claim.
Step 2 — Did the problems start after 24 months or 24,000 miles but still within the warranty?
If yes, then check either of the following:
- Has the dealer failed to fix a recurring problem despite three or more attempts? OR
- Has the vehicle been out for repairs for an unreasonable period of time?
If yes to either, the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act may still protect you.
What Happens if We Have to File an NC Lemon Law Lawsuit?
Filing a lawsuit sounds scary. However, it is often exactly what gets manufacturers to act. Furthermore, most cases still settle after a lawsuit is filed — before going to trial. As a result, you may never set foot in a courtroom.
Moreover, filing an NC lemon law lawsuit does not cost you anything upfront. Under NC law, the manufacturer pays your attorney’s fees when you win. Therefore, there is no financial risk to you at any stage of the process.
You paid good money for your vehicle. You deserve to get what you paid for. Going it alone against manufacturers is frustrating and risky. In addition, there are legal nuances that can hurt your case if handled incorrectly. Therefore, let us handle it.
