Work With a Massachusetts Law Firm That Focuses 100% on The Lemon Law

The Massachusetts Lemon Law provides very effective means for consumers to obtain help if they have a defective car. Specifically, the Massachusetts lemon law states that it is presumed that the lemon law is satisfied if either of the following requirements is met:

1. The car was presented for repair on 3 or more occasions for the same nonconformity within one year or 15,000 miles from the date of original delivery of the car and the problem still exists; OR

2. The car has been subject to repairs for any combination of defects which total 15 or more business days (the days do not have to be consecutive) within the same time/mileage period described in 1.

Under this provision the manufacturer must also be allowed a final opportunity to repair any ongoing defects.

An additional requirement of the Massachusetts lemon law is the defect or nonconformity with the car substantially impairs the use, market value, or safety of the car. Our Massachusetts lemon law attorney can advise you whether your car’s defects satisfy this element of the law. Basically the Massachusetts lemon law will not provide relief for trivial defects. However, what does not constitute a substantial impairment for one person may for another so it is important that our Massachusetts lemon law attorney consult with you regarding this issue. If all the requirements of the Massachusetts lemon law are met then the manufacturer must repurchase or replace your car.

Even if your car’s defects do not qualify you for assistance under the Massachusetts lemon law, you may still be entitled to relief under the federal lemon law mentioned above. This law states that if a car has been subject to repeated warranty repairs that you may be entitled to relief ranging from money compensation to lemon law type repurchase/replacement relief. Our Massachusetts lemon law attorney can inform you whether the federal lemon law applies to your situation.
