How we match your Muncie lemon law case

When you submit a Muncie lemon law matter, we route it through a national network of independent partner firms and put it in front of the one that fits best — based on the kind of case it is, what it is likely to involve, where it has to be handled, and who has capacity to take it on now.

Case type

A lemon law matter needs someone who handles lemon law work day to day, not a generalist. Practice area is the first filter.

Size and complexity

Some firms are built for catastrophic injury and multi-party litigation; others resolve straightforward claims quickly. We weigh what your matter is likely to involve against how each firm actually works.

Jurisdiction and licensing

Your matter is decided under Indiana law, so it goes to an attorney licensed in Indiana who regularly appears where your case would be heard.

Capacity and fit

Availability, conflicts of interest and language all matter. If the best-fit firm cannot take your case, we route it to the next one that can — or tell you plainly when no one in the network is the right answer.

Every partner reviews your case for free. Injury and workers’ compensation matters are handled on contingency — no fee unless you win. Other matters are quoted upfront, before you commit to anything.

In Indiana lemon law cases the law can shift your attorney’s fees to the other side — you keep your recovery.

Indiana’s Motor Vehicle Protection Act (Ind. Code § 24-5-13-22) and the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (15 U.S.C. § 2310(d)(2)) are fee-shifting — the manufacturer pays the prevailing consumer’s reasonable attorney fees on top of the recovery. Most Indiana lemon law attorneys take cases with no fee deducted from the consumer’s refund or replacement.

Generally a new vehicle with a defect that substantially impairs its use, value, or safety, and that the manufacturer's dealer has failed to repair after a reasonable number of attempts or an extended period out of service. Coverage is limited to an early portion of ownership defined by the statute. An attorney will compare your repair history to those requirements.

Every repair order, including the date in, the complaint as you described it, the work performed, and the days the vehicle was held. Ask for copies each visit, even when the dealer says nothing was found, because those visits still count. Keep your purchase contract and warranty booklet with them.

Indiana sets deadlines that vary, and lemon law claims also depend on defects arising within a coverage window measured by time and mileage, which can pass sooner than the filing deadline. Manufacturers often require written notice or an arbitration step first. Have an Indiana attorney confirm your exact dates before you keep scheduling repairs.

Under Ind. Code § 24-5-13-15, a vehicle is presumed a lemon if, within 18 months or 18,000 miles, the manufacturer cannot repair a nonconformity after 4 attempts, or the vehicle has been out of service for 30 cumulative business days.

Indiana’s Lemon Law applies only to new vehicles. The federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act and the Indiana UCC implied warranty of merchantability protect used buyers with a written warranty.
