How your Nebraska claim gets built
Our lemon law work is directed by Steven P. Nassi, Esq., Managing Partner, Easy Lemon by RockPoint Law P.C. A Nebraska claim gets built on two things: the Nebraska 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.

Crete Lemon Law Basics
The law that applies in Crete is Nebraska's lemon law, Neb. Rev. Stat. §60-2701 to §60-2709, and it covers new motor vehicles purchased or leased in Nebraska for personal, family, or household use, limited to vehicles under 10,000 lbs GVWR. You may have a claim if your repair orders reach one of the repair limits in the box above while the defect is still there and you are inside the deadline. The statute text, the filing deadlines and the rules on used cars are on our Nebraska Lemon Law Attorneys page.

Is Your Crete Car a Lemon? Nebraska's 3-Step Test
Does the Defect Substantially Impair Use, Value, or Safety?
Under Nebraska law, the defect has to substantially impair the vehicle's use, value, or safety.
Have You Met the Repair Attempt Threshold?
In Nebraska the test is 4 repair attempts for the same defect or 40 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 Nebraska, a claim must be brought within 1 year after the express warranty expires or within 2 years from original delivery, whichever is earlier. 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 Crete
Crete is in Saline County. Saline County's general civil trial court is the District Court of Saline County, in Nebraska Judicial District 1. Nebraska 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 Nebraska lemon law is Neb. Rev. Stat. §60-2701 to §60-2709. If the manufacturer's arbitration program is certified, the consumer must complete it first.
The repair test in the statute is 4 repair attempts for the same defect, or 40 cumulative calendar days with the vehicle out of service. The statutory remedy is a replacement vehicle or a full refund, minus a reasonable allowance for use. Under the statute, a consumer who prevails can recover attorney fees from the manufacturer.
Open recalls on your vehicle can be checked against NHTSA records at easylemon.com/recalls. A recall alone is not a lemon law claim.

What The Manufacturer Owes You
By statute, the Nebraska remedy is a replacement vehicle or a full refund, minus a reasonable allowance for use. When a Crete car qualifies under Nebraska law, the case usually ends in one of three ways.
Refund
The manufacturer buys the car back. It repays the price along with the taxes, registration fees and finance charges, but it may deduct a reasonable use offset.
Replacement Vehicle
Instead of money you get a comparable new car, and the swap costs you nothing.
Cash Settlement
The statute does not set this one. It comes from negotiation: you keep the car, and the manufacturer pays for the value the defect took off it.
