How Long Do I Have to Sue?
Every type of claim, including lemon law claims, are subject to a statute of limitations, which is a deadline to pursue a claim. The statute of limitations establishes the total time that claimants have to file their claims. When claimants do not file their claims on time, then they can lose their right to sue. So, how long do you have to file your claim?
Because of a recent change to the lemon law, current claims may be subject to one of two deadlines. Originally, claimants only had four years to file their claims, although claims had to be filed while the warranty was still active. Based on the update to the law, however, claimants have longer to sue. More specifically, they have up one year from the expiration date of the manufacturer warranty to pursue claims, or no longer than six years from the vehicle’s delivery date.
