Car Purchase Legal Issues

Summary

If a car breaks down shortly after purchase, you may have legal recourse under consumer protection laws. These laws vary by state and can include lemon laws or warranty protections. If the car was sold with a warranty, the dealer might be responsible for repairs. If the breakdown caused significant financial hardship, such as job loss, you might be entitled to additional compensation. Consult a local attorney to explore your options and ensure your rights are protected.
