I have * issues actually
Hi ****! Please describe one of the issues you're facing, and let me know your location as well. This will help me provide more accurate information.
I live in San Leon Texas. Actually * issues. 1st we bought a brand new rv in * that had nothing but problem after problem. Leaked all over badly since the day we got it. It should have been replaced as a lemon but the attorney we hired convinced us to drop the case with Texas lemon law. He seemed to be more on the side of the manufacturer than ours. He wanted us to take the offer of his fee plus take the rv * states away to fix. We refused because the damage from all the water was extensive and considering how much water you could see causing the whole bottom of rv to swell, plus all the obviously wet wood and all the rust on the frame. We wanted the rv replaced which from what I understood the lemon law would do if necessary but our attorney said they would not replace rv. Anyway we ended up firing our attorney but couldn’t find another to take our case because we were told court costs too high and we were advised to hire the Attorney we had before because he handled all rv cases from all around that area. End of story is that we ended up screwed by the huge company. Our rv is coming apart with mold and all sorts of other ogfv
Hi ****, that sounds like a frustrating situation.
- Under the Texas Lemon Law, you may still have options to pursue a remedy if you can prove the RV is substantially impaired.
- You can file a complaint with the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles.
Would you like more information on how to file a complaint or explore other potential legal avenues?
It’s not too late even though it’s been like 8 years? Also we dismissed the case because of our attorney
You may face challenges due to the *-year gap and the case being dismissed previously. However, some consumer protection laws in Texas have specific timeframes for filing complaints.
- Texas Lemon Law typically has a *-month or *,*-mile limit.
- You may explore other legal avenues, such as breach of warranty or consumer fraud.
Would you like more specific information on these options?
Yes
- Breach of Warranty: You could argue that the manufacturer breached the express warranty by failing to repair defects.
- Consumer Fraud: If you can prove the manufacturer or the attorney engaged in deceptive practices, this could be another legal avenue.
Would you like more detailed info on pursuing these options?
Would all the emails between the attorney and us plus all the emails between the manufacturer and us be counted as proof?
Yes, emails can serve as proof, but their effectiveness will depend on the content and context. They can demonstrate communication, agreements, or misrepresentations. You may want to consult with a lawyer to evaluate their strength as evidence.

Hi ****! Let's move on to your next issue. Could you please describe the second legal issue you're facing?
In * I skipped and fell at the office of the park we were living in at that time. The steps were way too steep and it was raining. The rv park had just been purchased by new owner. I didn’t have insurance at that time so I didn’t go to dr for over a year. I didn’t think it was a big deal but but my back, buttocks and legs became worse and worse. I ended up falling lots because my leg would go totally numb. When I went to dr I found out I had to have fusion surgery on L4 and L5 because I had fractured disc that was smashing sciatic nerve. It took over a year yo finally get surgery because of my insurance but a little over a year ago I had the surgery. It did seem to get better but it seems to now be getting worse and worse again and yet again no insurance.
Given the circumstances, you might have a premises liability case against the RV park owner if you can demonstrate negligence in maintaining safe conditions.
- Did you report the incident to the RV park management at the time of the fall?
This information can help determine the next steps.
There was nobody in office at the time so no I didn’t officially report it
It's important to document the incident as much as possible, even retroactively. Consider gathering any evidence, such as photos of the steps, witness statements, or medical records.
Would you like advice on how to proceed with a premises liability claim or need information on other issues?
Proceed
For a premises liability claim, here's what you should consider:
- Evidence Gathering: Collect photos of the steps, witness statements, and your medical records.
- Documentation: Note down any details and your recollection of the incident.
- Legal Consultation: Contact a lawyer experienced in premises liability to evaluate your case.
