Buying or leasing a new or used vehicle is the second largest investment an individual or a family usually makes. As a consumer you always want that investment to hold its value, to be a reliable and safe mean of transportation. Unfortunately, from time to time consumers end up owning a vehicle that is not what they expected it to be. Two of the most common causes for that are pre-existing manufacturer's defects and intentional dealer fraud. To protect the consumers a law firm launches two websites that will help buyers through the process of recovering their losses.
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) November 14, 2007 -- Buying or leasing a new or used vehicle is the second largest investment an individual or a family usually makes. As a consumer you always want that investment to hold its value, to be a reliable and safe mean of transportation. Unfortunately, from time to time consumers end up owning a vehicle that is not what they expected it to be. Two of the most common causes for that are pre-existing manufacturer's defects and intentional dealer fraud.
Many individuals have heard about the commonly known Lemon Law which was designed to protect consumers that end up with a new or used vehicle with significant manufacturer's defects that negatively affect the vehicle's use, value and/or safety. Most states have aggressive legislature set in place to protect the consumers' rights. These laws require the manufacturer to take the vehicle back, pay the consumer all his/her monthly payments, down payment, and any other forms of related expenses, in addition to all applicable attorney's and court fees. A Lemon Law Attorney can give you the advice you need as to what's the best way to solve your case. Since many times the dealers and manufacturers ignore these cases and downplay the extent of the loss, consulting a Lemon Law Attorney is almost necessary especially since many Lemon Law Firms do not charge the consumer for their services.
Consumers who are victims of intentional dealer fraud have similar rights and attorneys practicing in the area have many ways to protect the consumers. A dealer fraud specialist can help the consumer recover his or her actual losses and even recover punitive damages of up to 9 times the actual damages. In many instances buyers are tricked by the seller, often a large and reputable franchise dealer, to buy or lease vehicles with rolled back mileage, frame damage, previously rental cars, limos or even taxis without providing the appropriate disclosure statements. All such sales constitute dealer fraud and a skilled attorney can help the consumer recover his or her financial and punitive loss plus compensatory damages without spending any money on attorney's fees.
In instances of both dealer fraud and defectively manufactured vehicles, the consumer ends up with a vehicle that is unsafe to drive, requires constant repairs and is often worth only 70% to 30% of the amount actually paid by the consumer. The most common problems include, but are not limited to, engine problems, transmission problems, frame damage, body damage, odometer rollback, water leaks, paint defects, electrical problems, brake problems, steering problems among many other potential problems.
The Lemon Law and Dealer Fraud can be also filed for RVs, motor homes, motorcycles, trucks, boats, and many other "vehicles" that have motor/drive terrain warranty and safety regulations, state or federal.
