When you are searching for answers because you are frustrated with a car deal gone horribly bad, you may be wondering if you can take advantage of the protection of the Illinois Lemon Law. This set of laws can help to find relief after dealing with a faulty vehicle. Of course, the question is “what do you have to deal with to get relief”. The reality is it can be a very frustrating situation to have to hold your end of the deal up when it does not seem like anyone else is. Understanding that there are other options can help you to get through this frustrating time with less stress.

You Should Know

The Illinois Lemon Law is not without caveats, in other words if you were sold a lemon and it does not fall into specific circumstances you may have to look to other avenues to find relief. The details of the law include:
The car must be 1-year old or less
Vehicles must have less than 12,000 miles

Illinois has no provisions in the law for:

  • Used cars
  • Motorcycles, trailers, boats
  • Vehicles that have been modified

Unfortunately, it does seem that there are more things that these laws DO NOT cover than they do. Luckily, with the right law firm you may be able to find relief. The right law firm can help you to find the relief from this mess that you deserve. Even if you think that you may not qualify for coverage under the lemon law you may want to consider contacting a trusted attorney that can help. Krohn & Moss, Ltd.
