Understanding California’s Deadline for Lemon Law Claims

California Lemon Law requires claims to be filed within a specific timeframe, often tied to warranty expiration or the point when defects first appeared. Missed deadlines reduce leverage and may prevent recovery.

We review service history, warranty dates, and defect timelines to determine how much time remains and move your case forward without delay.

Why Acting Early Improves Case Strength

Early claims preserve evidence, limit manufacturer objections, and increase negotiation leverage. Filing within the statute provides clearer valuation and strengthens eligibility for refund, replacement, or compensation.
