Cash in hand

You keep your vehicle. The manufacturer pays you cash for diminished value. We seek to have the manufacturer pay our attorney fees separately under federal warranty law — they don't come out of your settlement.

You keep the car. You keep the cash.

We don't push buybacks or replacements. We pursue cash settlements under N.D. Cent. Code § 51-07-16 (North Dakota Lemon Law) and federal MMWA. You stay in your vehicle. We get a check from the manufacturer. That's it.

North Dakota lemon law FAQs

Real questions North Dakota consumers ask. Plain English answers.

Does the North Dakota lemon law cover used vehicles?+

N.D. Cent. Code § 51-07-16 (North Dakota Lemon Law) primarily covers new vehicles. The federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (MMWA) frequently extends to used vehicles that came with any written warranty — manufacturer remaining warranty, certified pre-owned warranty, or a dealer's used-car warranty. We evaluate whether your case fits state law, federal MMWA, or both.

How many repair attempts does North Dakota require?+

North Dakota's statutory presumption: 4 repair attempts OR 30 days out of service in first year. Federal MMWA does not set a fixed number — it requires a 'reasonable opportunity' for the manufacturer to repair, which is fact-specific.

Do I have to arbitrate before suing in North Dakota?+

North Dakota arbitration rules: Manufacturer-sponsored arbitration may be required. Federal MMWA claims generally do NOT require manufacturer-sponsored arbitration as a prerequisite to suit.

Who pays my attorney fees in a North Dakota lemon law case?+

Under federal MMWA, the manufacturer pays the consumer's reasonable attorney fees when the consumer prevails. N.D. Cent. Code § 51-07-16 (North Dakota Lemon Law) also typically allows fee recovery. Lemonaid Firm works on contingency — no fees out of your pocket.
