How your Kentucky claim gets built
Our lemon law work is directed by Steven P. Nassi, Esq., Managing Partner, Easy Lemon by RockPoint Law P.C. A Kentucky claim gets built on two things: the Kentucky lemon law statute, and the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, which applies in all fifty states. Send the repair orders and the purchase or lease paperwork, and we can tell you which of the two fits your vehicle.

Covington Lemon Law Basics
In Covington, as anywhere else in Kentucky, a lemon law claim is brought under Ky. Rev. Stat. §367.840 to §367.846. The statute covers new motor vehicles purchased or leased in Kentucky for personal use, but being covered is only the start. The car also has to reach one of the repair limits in the box above, with the defect still unrepaired and the deadline not yet passed. If it does, you may have a claim. Our Kentucky Lemon Law Attorneys page goes through the statute text, the filing deadlines and used cars in more detail.
How a Covington Lemon Law Claim Works
This is what happens after you call us from Covington.
Document Your Repairs
Keep every repair order from your Covington dealership, even the short ones. Under Kentucky's lemon law, those papers are the written proof of each repair attempt.
Free Case Evaluation
We read your repair history against the Kentucky statute and tell you whether the car qualifies. The review costs nothing, and there are no attorney's fees unless we recover for you.
We File the Claim
We write and send the paperwork, including the written report of the defect to the manufacturer that Kentucky law requires. We deal with the manufacturer for you.
You Get Compensated
A successful case usually ends with a refund, a replacement vehicle or a cash settlement. There are no attorney's fees unless we recover for you.
Is Your Covington Car a Lemon? Kentucky's 3-Step Test
Does the Defect Substantially Impair Use, Value, or Safety?
Under Kentucky law, the defect has to substantially impair the vehicle's use, value, or safety.
Have You Met the Repair Attempt Threshold?
In Kentucky the test is 4 repair attempts for the same defect or 30 cumulative calendar days out of service, as long as the claim is brought within the deadline in step 3. Count the visits on your repair orders to see where you stand.
Did It Happen Within the Rights Period?
In Kentucky, a claim must be filed within 2 years after the date of original delivery of the vehicle to the buyer. We check that deadline against the delivery date on your contract and the dates on your repair orders.
If you are not sure about your dates, call us. The consultation is free. 📞 (855) 435-3666
If you think you are past a deadline, call us anyway. We may still be able to help.
Court and Venue in Covington
Covington is in Kenton County. Kenton County's general civil trial court is the Kenton County Circuit Court, part of the 16th Judicial Circuit. Kentucky also has a lower court for smaller civil claims, so the amount in dispute can change where a case is filed. Which court hears a particular case still depends on its facts, the warranty issues involved and the law it is brought under.
The Kentucky lemon law is Ky. Rev. Stat. §367.840 to §367.846. If the manufacturer's arbitration program is state-certified, the consumer must use it.
The repair test in the statute is 4 repair attempts for the same defect, or 30 cumulative calendar days with the vehicle out of service. The statutory remedy is a replacement vehicle or a full refund, minus a reasonable offset for use. The court may award reasonable attorney fees to a plaintiff who prevails.
Open recalls on your vehicle can be checked against NHTSA records at easylemon.com/recalls. A recall alone is not a lemon law claim.

Notable provisions of Kentucky Lemon Law - Motor Vehicle Warranty Act
Kentucky's coverage window is 12 months or 12,000 miles. The buyer must report the nonconformity to the manufacturer in writing. Motor homes, motorcycles, and substantially altered vehicles are excluded.

What The Manufacturer Owes You
Kentucky law provides for a replacement vehicle or a full refund, minus a reasonable offset for use. There are three ways a qualifying case from Covington usually ends.
Refund
Give the car back and the manufacturer repays the price you paid, with the taxes, registration fees and finance charges. A reasonable use offset comes off that amount.
Replacement Vehicle
The manufacturer hands you a comparable new car and pays the cost of the exchange.
Cash Settlement
The car stays yours and the manufacturer pays for the value the defect took off it. You will not find this option in the statute. It is reached by negotiation.

What Our Clients Are Saying
Easy Lemon has handled 3,000+ lemon law cases‡.
My Honda Pilot's fuel system kept throwing check engine codes for the evaporative emissions system. Four visits, four 'fixes,' four returns of the light.
A friend said 'just call a lemon law firm already.' I called Easy Lemon and spoke to Natalie Nassi. First thing she said: 'You've done the hard work already. Now let us do ours.'
She was right. She took my mountain of paperwork—my letters, my complaint case numbers, my repair orders—and organized it into a real claim. The manufacturer settled in two months.
Why them? Natalie valued the effort I'd already put in. She didn't start from zero; she built on my frustration. That respect made all the difference.”
