You May Not Qualify Under Standard Lemon Law

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.

Hastings Lemon Law Basics
A Hastings car is judged against Nebraska's statute, Neb. Rev. Stat. §60-2701 to §60-2709, and that law covers new motor vehicles purchased or leased in Nebraska for personal, family, or household use, limited to vehicles under 10,000 lbs GVWR. So the first question is coverage, and the second is whether your repair orders reach one of the repair limits in the box above. If they do, and the defect is still there and the deadline has not run out, you may have a claim. The statute text, the filing deadlines and how used cars are treated are all on our Nebraska Lemon Law Attorneys page.

Is Your Hastings 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 Hastings
Hastings is in Adams County. Adams County's general civil trial court is the District Court of Adams County, in Nebraska Judicial District 10. 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
Nebraska's statute lists a replacement vehicle or a full refund, minus a reasonable allowance for use. In practice, a qualifying Hastings case usually ends in one of three ways, and the cards below explain each.
Refund
You return the car. The price comes back to you, and so do the taxes, the registration fees and the finance charges, after a reasonable use offset is taken off.
Replacement Vehicle
You trade the defective car for a comparable new one, and the manufacturer pays what the swap costs.
Cash Settlement
The car stays with you, and the manufacturer pays for the drop in value the defect caused. The statute does not provide for this. It comes out of negotiation.
