What is the Nebraska Lemon Law?

Understanding Your Rights in Nebraska

What do you do when your new car doesn’t work the way it should? When it keeps breaking down, spends more time in the shop than on the road, and causes more stress than it’s worth? And what if the dealer keeps insisting there’s nothing wrong?

Nebraska’s Lemon Law may provide the relief you need. The Nebraska Lemon Law, also known as the New Vehicle Buyer Protection Act, protects Cornhuskers like you who purchase or lease a defective vehicle in the state of Nebraska. Along with the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, it helps ensure Nebraska buyers aren’t stuck with a lemon—and can pursue the refund or replacement vehicle they’re entitled to.

What Does the Lemon Law in Nebraska Cover?

Is My Vehicle Considered a Lemon?

To qualify for compensation under the Nebraska Lemon Law, your vehicle must have a defect that substantially impairs the vehicle’s use or market value. Additionally, this defect must be covered by the manufacturer’s original warranty. This defect must persist after you’ve provided the auto manufacturer with a reasonable chance to repair it.

Typically, the law defines “reasonable” as four repair attempts within the first year of ownership. Alternatively, if the vehicle is out of service for repairs for a total of 40 or more days in the first year, it’s presumed to be a lemon.

How Long Do You Have to File a Nebraska Lemon Law Claim?

The Nebraska Lemon Law Time Limit

Under the Nebraska Lemon Law, you must report your vehicle’s defect to the manufacturer within 12 months of the original date of delivery. If the manufacturer does not resolve your lemon law claim, you typically have one year from the expiration of the warranty, or two years from the original date of delivery, whichever comes first, to file a lawsuit. If this window has passed, we may still be able to file under the Federal Lemon Law, which provides a longer window of opportunity.

Your best next step is to contact an experienced lemon law attorney as soon as possible to review your options. If you purchased or leased a vehicle in Nebraska, our lemon law attorneys are standing by to help.

How Much is Your Nebraska Lemon Worth?

If you were sold or leased a lemon in Nebraska, the Lemon Law may require the manufacturer to repurchase your vehicle. This typically includes the full purchase price, plus sales tax, license and registration fees, and similar government charges, minus a reasonable allowance for your use of the vehicle. Alternatively, the manufacturer may provide a comparable replacement vehicle. If you win your case, the manufacturer must also pay your attorney’s fees.

Our attorneys never promise unrealistic settlement amounts and always give you honest advice about your chances of success.

Incidental Costs

If you prevail in a lemon law case in Nebraska, you may request the manufacturer reimburse you for incidental costs such as repair fees, rental car costs, and towing bills, in addition to a refund or replacement vehicle. The manufacturer is also responsible for paying your attorney’s fees when you win your case.

Average Lemon Law Settlement in Nebraska

Lemon law settlements in Nebraska depend on many different details, including the vehicle’s make and model, its age, original purchase price, warranty terms, and current mileage. There is no fixed rate of compensation, and we never make unrealistic promises about your settlement. However, our lawyers are always prepared to take your case as far as necessary to secure the compensation you’re owed.

Honest Case Evaluations

No lemon law case has a preset dollar value. We do not advertise unrealistic numbers to attract attention. Instead, we evaluate cases based on facts, real documentation, and the applicable law. With over 60,000 cases handled nationwide, our experience speaks for itself.

Do I Need a Lawyer For a Lemon Law Claim?

No, you may file a claim directly against the automobile manufacturer without help from an attorney.

Retaining our counsel costs you nothing, means less work for you, and greatly increases your chances of success.

How Much Do Lemon Law Attorneys Cost?

NOTHING! California’s Lemon Law includes a fee-shifting provision that holds the manufacturer responsible for your legal fees when you win your case. And at Krohn & Moss, Ltd. Consumer Law Center®, we don’t charge for our services unless you prevail. It’s common for other firms to charge their clients for filing fees and other costs related to the case. But our California clients pay nothing out-of-pocket.
