In New Jersey, new car owners are protected from defective automobiles under the Lemon Laws. These laws are designed to protect consumers from unsafe and defective vehicles and to ensure manufacturers are adhering to the proper protocol.

To help those who have bought or leased defective automobiles, an experienced lemon law attorney, like David W. Polsky, will often file the case before a Lemon Law Arbitration, instead of going through the superior court. This expedites the process, and in turn takes far less time than when litigated in traditional courts.

If you recently purchased or leased a vehicle in New Jersey and you have experienced a problem, you should seek Lemon Law advocacy. Here are a few reasons why you need a Lemon Law attorney:

#1 Enhanced Safety

Safety is one of the top concerns for consumers when buying a new or used car. When a new vehicle has problems within the warranty period, there is a high chance that the problems will continue. A defective car has the potential to create a hazardous and dangerous scenario for the driver, passengers, and others on the road.  A Lemon Law attorney will ensure the problem is rectified as quickly as possible. They can make sure repairs are completed in a timely manner and prevent the manufacturer from charging the costs to the consumer.

#2 It’s Free

Under New Jersey Law, the manufacturer is required to pay all the costs associated with the lemon. This includes labor charges, repairs, legal fees, and any incidental expenses. You will never pay any legal fees, even if you lose, and the legal fees awarded will never reduce your settlement. Since it’s 100 percent free, you have nothing to lose!

#3 Strong Advocacy

While the Lemon Law process is both faster and cheaper than most other forms of litigation, it is by no means user friendly. It requires you to properly put big corporations on notice in precisely the right way, in addition to filling out meticulous forms and gathering mountains of information and documents. Once at court, the dealer or manufacturer has a strong interest in winning their case. Their attorney will look to exploit any mistake you might have made. They will have experts at their disposal to scrutinize your car and find any reason why the dealer or manufacturer is not liable. With strong Lemon Law advocacy, you can greatly improve your chances of success.
