Do You Qualify?
Four questions will help you find out in about a minute.
You Likely Qualify!
Your answers meet the basic lemon law test. Before anyone can confirm that your car qualifies, an attorney has to see the repair orders. We work on a contingency basis, and there are no attorney’s fees unless we recover for you.
You May Not Qualify Under Standard Lemon Law
The standard lemon law test does not seem to fit. Other consumer protection laws may still help with a car like yours. Contact us anyway.

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.

Kearney Lemon Law Basics
A Kearney 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.
How a Kearney Lemon Law Claim Works
This is what happens after you call us from Kearney.
Document Your Repairs
Keep every repair order from your Kearney dealership, even the short ones. Under Nebraska's lemon law, those papers are the written proof of each repair attempt.
Free Case Evaluation
We read your repair history against the Nebraska 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 notice to the manufacturer that Nebraska 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 Kearney 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 Kearney
Kearney is in Buffalo County. Buffalo County's general civil trial court is the District Court of Buffalo County, in Nebraska Judicial District 9. 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
Under Nebraska law the remedy is a replacement vehicle or a full refund, minus a reasonable allowance for use. A qualifying case from Kearney usually closes in one of these three ways.
Refund
The car goes back to the manufacturer, which returns what you paid, with the taxes, registration fees and finance charges, less a reasonable use offset.
Replacement Vehicle
The manufacturer swaps your car for a comparable new one and pays for the exchange.
Cash Settlement
You hold on to the car and are paid for the value the defect cost you. This one is not in the statute. It is negotiated.
