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

Shreveport Lemon Law Basics
In Shreveport, as anywhere else in Louisiana, a lemon law claim is brought under La. Rev. Stat. §51:1941 to §51:1948. The statute covers new motor vehicles purchased or leased in Louisiana for personal, family, or household purposes, 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 Louisiana Lemon Law Attorneys page goes through the statute text, the filing deadlines and used cars in more detail.
How a Shreveport Lemon Law Claim Works
This is what happens after you call us from Shreveport.
Document Your Repairs
Keep every repair order from your Shreveport dealership, even the short ones. LA lemon law needs written proof of each repair attempt, and those papers are the proof.
Free Case Evaluation
We read your repair history against the Louisiana 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 any written notice to the manufacturer that LA law requires. We deal with the manufacturer for you.
You Get Compensated
The case ends with a refund, a replacement vehicle or a cash settlement. There are no attorney's fees unless we recover for you.
Is Your Shreveport Car a Lemon? Louisiana's 3-Step Test
Does the Defect Substantially Impair Use, Value, or Safety?
Under Louisiana law, the defect has to substantially impair the vehicle's use, value, or safety.
Have You Met the Repair Attempt Threshold?
In Louisiana the test is 4 repair attempts for the same defect, or 45 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 Louisiana the deadline is 3 years from the date of purchase or 1 year from the end of the warranty period, whichever is longer. We check it 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 are past the deadline, call us anyway. We may still be able to help.
Court and Venue in Shreveport
Parts of Shreveport lie in Bossier Parish and Caddo Parish, per the 2020 Census. Their general civil trial courts are the 26th Judicial District Court (Twenty-Sixth Judicial District) for Bossier Parish and the 1st Judicial District Court (First Judicial District) for Caddo Parish. Which court hears a particular case still depends on its facts, the warranty issues involved and the law it is brought under.
The Louisiana lemon law is La. Rev. Stat. §51:1941 to §51:1948. If the manufacturer's informal dispute program substantially complies with federal rules (16 C.F.R. Part 703), the consumer must use it first.
The repair test in the statute is 4 repair attempts for the same defect, or 45 cumulative calendar days with the vehicle out of service. The statutory remedy is a replacement vehicle or full refund (minus reasonable use offset). A consumer who wins a judgment is entitled to the reasonable attorney fees actually incurred.
Open recalls on your vehicle can be checked against NHTSA records at easylemon.com/recalls. A recall alone is not a lemon law claim.

Louisiana Lemon Law - New Motor Vehicle Warranty Rights Act: The Rules That Decide a Shreveport Claim
Louisiana law sets a repair test, an arbitration rule and a deadline, and Court and Venue above already explains those three. Here are a few of its other rules.
Notable provisions of Louisiana Lemon Law - New Motor Vehicle Warranty Rights Act
Louisiana allows 45 calendar days out of service, not the 30 common elsewhere. The consumer must report the nonconformity and make the vehicle available for repair within the warranty term or the first year, whichever ends earlier. The manufacturer keeps a final attempt to cure but waives it by failing to respond in time. Vehicles rated 10,000 GVW or above are excluded.

What The Manufacturer Owes You
Louisiana's statute lists replacement vehicle or full refund (minus reasonable use offset). In practice, a qualifying Shreveport case under LA law 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.
