Louisiana Motorcycle Lemon Law Attorney
Your Bike Should Be Designed to Last
Did you expect a beautiful, high-performance bike and instead found out that you had purchased a constantly broken piece of junk? Many two-wheeled vehicles are covered under lemon law. To find out whether your bike is covered, call my law firm in Louisiana. I can help you sort through the law and determine whether you have a lemon case.
How Long Do I Have to File a Lemon Law Claim?
Make sure you are aware of the time limitations you have to file a complaint. These requirements vary state by state, and are listed on your DMV website. Alternatively, you can contact my lemon law firm to find out what information you will need in order to pursue your lemon law claim.
For your convenience, I have provided California, Texas, and Louisiana's time restrictions:
- In California, you are covered for 18 months after your date of purchase, or when your vehicle is within the warranty. You must file within these time limits.
- In Louisiana, you are covered throughout the warranty period, or for 1 year from date of purchase. You must file within these time limits.
- In Texas, you are covered throughout the warranty period, or for 1 year from date of purchase. After the first year of purchase, you must file within the first 6 months.
How to Avoid Purchasing a Lemon in Louisiana?
When you are purchasing a motorcycle, there are a few steps you can take to try and prevent the purchase of a lemon in Louisiana.
Make sure you search the VIN number of a used vehicle. This should obtain a comprehensive vehicle history report to check for accidents, repairs, and any previous ownership concerns. Thoroughly research the make and model of the motorcycle you are interested in to learn about its reliability and common issues.
If you can, have the bike evaluated by a mechanic you trust, to make sure you aren't going to encounter any unfortunate surprises. Lastly, always request and review the motorcycle's maintenance records and warranty information.
Sometimes, no matter what you do, you still fall victim to the purchase of a lemon. When this happens, contact my firm by calling (888) 577-8520. I can help you protect your legal rights.
