Southern California Vehicle Fraud Attorneys
Dealers have no motivation to take a car back once you've left their lot. Once you sign the paperwork and drive away, you're on your own.
If you purchased or leased a new or used car and discovered problems with it that the dealer failed to tell you about at the time of purchase, the Law Office of Robert L. Starr can help. Located in Woodland Hills, we are dedicated to protecting victims of vehicle fraud in the San Fernando Valley and throughout Southern California get the justice they deserve. Contact us for a free initial consultation with an experienced vehicle fraud lawyer.
What Counts as Vehicle Fraud?
Dealers are required to disclose certain information to purchasers. Fraud occurs in a variety of ways, such as failing to inform you of prior accident history (such as by providing a Carfax report) or telling you about any body parts that were replaced or painted over. If a dealer sells you a car that has non-OEM replacement parts, after-market parts or tires that are the wrong size or design for the vehicle, this is also vehicle fraud.
Committed to Getting Justice for Consumers
California State law protects consumers from vehicle fraud by requiring a dealer to repurchase, replace or repair the vehicle. In some instances, parties may agree on a cash settlement to pay for car repairs, which may include repair work supervised by the manufacturer's representative.
When a dealer takes a car back, their insurance only covers a certain percentage. This means that they have to classify the car as a lemon. As a result, dealers have no motivation or incentive to resolve your problem. By having experienced attorney Robert L. Starr fighting in your corner, we will make them pay attention and make sure they comply with the law. Complaining to the dealership on your own rarely will get you the results you need or justice you deserve. Contact us to schedule a free initial consultation.
