The Federal Lemon Law- Motor Homes, Cars, RVs, Boats, and Offroad Vehicles

The main remedy for an MMWA limited warranty breach is diminution in value CASH compensation damages instead of a refund or replacement. Diminution in value means that a vehicle was not worth what was paid for it at the time of purchase (the sales price) because of its defects and repair history. Basically, you should get some of your money back from the manufacturer because you did not get the "new" vehicle value you paid for, but instead got the equivalent of a "used" worn down vehicle that should have cost substantially less. Under certain circumstances it may also be possible to obtain compensation for the aggravation and inconvenience of repeat repairs and/or your loss of use of the product. These are called incidental and consequential damages. Although such damages are typically disclaimed in the warranty, the disclaimers can be overcome if failure of essential purpose (failure to complete proper repairs withing a reasonable opportunity) is proven. Additionally, you are entitled to seek attorneys' fees for MMWA claims and our Firm requests attorneys' fees only from manufacturers as part of out of court MMWA settlements. As always, with our FAIR FEE GUARANTEE our attorneys' fees will NEVER exceed your out of court recovery.
