Do You Qualify?
It takes about a minute. Four questions, and you find out if the lemon law may apply.
You Likely Qualify!
Your answers line up with the basic lemon law test. The next step is for an attorney to confirm that from your repair orders. Because we work on a contingency basis, there are no attorney’s fees unless we recover for you.
You May Not Qualify Under Standard Lemon Law
Your answers fall outside the usual lemon law test. That does not rule out other consumer protection laws. Contact us anyway.

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

Trussville Lemon Law Basics
In Trussville, as anywhere else in Alabama, a lemon law claim is brought under Ala. Code §8-20A-1 to §8-20A-6. The statute covers new motor vehicles purchased or leased in Alabama, used primarily 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 Alabama Lemon Law Attorneys page goes through the statute text, the filing deadlines and used cars in more detail.

Is Your Trussville Car a Lemon? Alabama's 3-Step Test
Does the Defect Substantially Impair Use, Value, or Safety?
Under Alabama law, the defect has to substantially impair the vehicle's use, value, or safety.
Have You Met the Repair Attempt Threshold?
In Alabama the test is 3 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 Alabama the deadline is 3 years from original delivery. 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 Trussville
Parts of Trussville lie in Jefferson County and St. Clair County, per the 2020 Census. Their general civil trial courts are the circuit court of Alabama's Tenth Judicial Circuit for Jefferson County and the circuit court of Alabama's Thirtieth Judicial Circuit for St. Clair County. Alabama 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 Alabama lemon law is Ala. Code §8-20A-1 to §8-20A-6. If the manufacturer has a dispute program that follows federal rules, the consumer must use it first.
The repair test in the statute is 3 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 full refund (minus reasonable use allowance). 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.

Alabama Lemon Law: The Rules That Decide a Trussville Claim
Some Alabama rules sit outside the repair test, the arbitration rule and the deadline, which you can find under Court and Venue above. Those other rules are here.
Notable provisions of Alabama Lemon Law
Repair attempts count over the first 24 months or 24,000 miles from original delivery (whichever comes first), and at least one of them must fall within the first year or 12,000 miles. The manufacturer has a final repair opportunity after written notice.

What The Manufacturer Owes You
Under Alabama law the remedy is replacement vehicle or full refund (minus reasonable use allowance). A qualifying AL case from Trussville 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.
