If you’ve bought a new car and it continues to have major defects after several repair attempts, you may be entitled to compensation under the Lemon Law. Here are the 5 key steps to getting compensation:

1. Review your state’s Lemon Law conditions:
   Each state has different requirements, but generally, the car must have a significant defect that affects its use, value, or safety. Make sure you know the specifics of the law in your state.
2. Document the issues and repairs:
   It’s essential to keep a detailed record of all repairs made, including dates, diagnosed issues, and invoices. If the car has been in the shop multiple times for the same issue, this will strengthen your case.
3. Notify the manufacturer or dealership:
   It’s important to formally notify the manufacturer or dealership about the problem. In many cases, they must have the opportunity to fix the defect before you can file a claim.
4. Contact a Lemon Law attorney:
   If the dealership or manufacturer does not properly resolve the issue, it’s advisable to contact a Lemon Law attorney. They can offer guidance and help you through the claims process.
5. File your claim:
   Finally, if the issue is not resolved, you can file a formal claim under the Lemon Law. This could result in a repair, replacement, or a full refund of the car. The attorney will help you determine the best course of action based on local laws.

Keep in mind that the process can take time, but with proper documentation and legal guidance, you can get fair compensation for a defective car.
