The last thing that a car buyer expects to experience is mechanical problems after purchasing a new vehicle. It is expected that new vehicles are in top condition and should not have any problems for a long time, but it is not always the case. When mistakes are made during the manufacturing process, an unsuspecting new car buyer can end up with vehicle problems that he or she is not financially prepared to repair. The manufacturer of the vehicle can be held liable for the problems, such as by issuing a refund or replacing the vehicle. If your new vehicle has repeatedly undergone repairs and your requests for a refund have been denied, you need help from a lemon lawyer. 

How Many Repairs Have Been Performed on the Car?

When did you first notice that the vehicle was defective and take it to a repair shop? If you noticed the defect long after purchasing the vehicle, the dealership might think the problem is due to something you did wrong. Lemon cases can be complicated, which is why it is wise to hire a lawyer to build a strong case on your behalf. A lawyer might ask several questions regarding the number and types of repairs the vehicle needed shortly after you took possession. He or she will also ask about the warranty and whether you were required to take the vehicle to a repair shop that is authorized by the manufacturer.

Were You Involved in Any Accidents in the Car?

Did you get into an accident after buying the car that was determined to be your fault? If so, did you cause the accident because the defective part in the vehicle interfered with your ability to drive safely? You might be able to sue for more than a refund or a new vehicle if the defect led to you causing an accident, especially if there were injuries involved. An attorney can help you prove to the court that the defective vehicle put your life at risk, as well as other drivers on the roads. He or she can also assist with getting compensated for your injuries that were caused due to the car manufacturer's negligence.

Did the Defective Car Interfere with You Working?

It is possible for a lemon car to have problems to the extent of being too unsafe to drive. If your vehicle is in an unsafe condition and you cannot get to work, lost wages can be added to your lawsuit against the manufacturer. If you were able to get to work via public transportation, you can sue for the money you had to spend to do so.
