What Is The Nebraska
Lemon Law?
Nebraska's Lemon Law — officially the Motor Vehicle Warranty Enforcement Act — protects consumers who purchase or lease a defective vehicle. If a manufacturer can't repair your vehicle's defect within a reasonable number of attempts, you're entitled to a refund or replacement vehicle.
Consumer Protection
Covers defective vehicles that impair use, value, or safety under the manufacturer's warranty.
Repair Attempts
Applies when the manufacturer cannot fix a recurring defect after a reasonable number of attempts.
Refund Or Replacement
May entitle you to a refund, replacement vehicle, or other compensation depending on your case.
No Fees Unless You Win
Our team reviews your claim at no cost and only recovers a fee if your case succeeds or settles.

Nebraska Lemon Law Buyback: How Much Might You Get?
If your vehicle turns out to be a lemon, you’ll choose between two options for compensation—a refund or a
replacement vehicle. In addition to a refund or replacement vehicle, you may receive reimbursement for your
expenses throughout the process, like repair costs and attorney’s fees!
Full Refund
Receive the full purchase price including sales tax, finance interest, and related costs. A small usage offset may apply based on mileage at time of arbitration.
Replacement Vehicle
Get a comparable new vehicle in exchange for your lemon. You choose this option if a replacement suits you better than a cash refund.
Fee Reimbursement
Get a comparable new vehicle in exchange for your lemon. You choose this option if a replacement suits you better than a cash refund.

Federal — Covers New & Used Vehicles
- Covers new AND used vehicles under warranty
- Up to 5 years from warranty breach date
- Can qualify after just 1 failed repair attempt
- Covers vehicles bought from private sellers

-
Do I Need a Lawyer For a Lemon Law Claim?
-
No, you may file a claim directly against the automobile manufacturer without help from an attorney. However, we’re often able to secure far better settlements for our clients than the ones they might collect on their own. Retaining our counsel costs you nothing, means less work for you, and greatly increases your chances of success.
Since 1995, the lemon law lawyers at Krohn & Moss, Ltd. Consumer Law Center® have helped over 60,000 consumers settle their lemon law disputes with automobile manufacturers. We also have an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. So no, you don’t need to hire a lawyer for your lemon law case, but there are numerous disadvantages to filing on your own.
-
How Much Do Lemon Law Attorneys Cost?
-
NOTHING! California’s Lemon Law includes a fee-shifting provision that holds the manufacturer responsible for your legal fees when you win your case. And at Krohn & Moss, Ltd. Consumer Law Center®, we don’t charge for our services unless you prevail. It’s common for other firms to charge their clients for filing fees and other costs related to the case. But our California clients pay nothing out-of-pocket.
