CAN I GET LEMON LAW PROTECTION FOR MY BIG TRUCK CALIFORNIA BAD THAT I USE IN MY BUSINESS? ...
Today there is a heated debate on this issue in California Court rooms. Manufacturers insist that the answer is "no". Specialists in consumer protection and lemon law lawyers scream that the answer is "Yes"!
Many believed that the question was answered years ago when was changed to California lemon law too powerful to include coverage for companies with 5 or fewer vehicles registered to him in the State of California and the defective vehicle weighed less than 10000 lbs. Senator Sher introduced SB 1718 to change the lemon law in part to offer this protection to small businesses. The Bill won broad support consumer groups, such as cars (consumers for Auto reliability and safety), who sponsored the Bill, labor and smaller organizations, the Attorney General Bill Lockyear, automatic protection organizations, AAA and numerous other groups.
The source of support was largely due to the protection that small businesses have now under the lemon law changed if the business had less than 5 vehicles registered to it.
However, several manufacturers recently successfully argue that the law does not apply to vehicles that weigh "less" of £ 10000, but only those that have a gross weight "rating" of less than 10000 pounds. A classification of gross weight is the weight of the vehicle plus fuel, passengers, cargo, and trailer tongue weight.
Unfortunately for consumers, there is a big difference. The flower shop that uses a van for deliveries, a carpet company that uses a super tough haul truck and product samples, a plumber with a small table, construction workers, all may lose protection if your truck or van becomes a lemon. Gross weight ratings for these types of vehicles are normally more than 10000 pounds, but the actual weight of the vehicle cannot be.
I handled a case recently in which this argument much was made by the manufacturer in a comprehensive motion for summary judgment. The Court trial, however, decided in our favour, stating that he would like to add the word "classification" in lemon law. I will gladly share my underwear with anyone facing this problem, because there is no doubt in my mind the Court trial in my case correctly judged the issue.
