Frequently Asked Questions

  • The CA lemon law requires the manufacturer to pay your attorneys’ fees if your vehicle qualifies. Yellowjacket Law does not charge you a retainer nor any up front costs. If Yellowjacket Law is unable to obtain recovery for your vehicle, you will not be responsible for any fees or costs.

  • You may still be entitled to compensation if the vehicle qualified as a lemon before you sold the vehicle.

  • Under certain circumstances, the CA lemon law may apply to your used vehicle. You should consult a qualified attorney to determine whether you may be able to recover under the CA lemon law.

  • In most cases, you do not need to notify the manufacturer of your vehicle before you can recover under the CA lemon law. You should contact a qualified attorney to determine whether notification to the manufacturer may or may not be necessary before seeking recovery under the CA lemon law

  • No. The CA lemon law does not require a consumer to first participate in a manufacturer’s arbitration program before bringing a claim. In some cases, participation in a manufacturer’s arbitration program can limit your ability to seek full recovery in court. However, there may be circumstances where arbitration may be beneficial or necessary. You should speak to a qualified attorney to determine the best course of action.

  • If the problems with your vehicle began before your warranty expired and continued afterward, you may still have a claim under the CA lemon law.
