Nebraska Lemon Law: Key Facts
How it works
How Nebraska’s Lemon Law Works
The Nebraska Lemon Law (Neb. Rev. Stat. §§ 60-2701 to 60-2709) requires a manufacturer to replace or refund a new vehicle it cannot repair within a reasonable number of attempts. Here’s the path a Nebraska lemon law claim follows.
Repairs begin
You report a covered defect and the dealer attempts warranty repairs during the rights period — the manufacturer’s written warranty term or one year after delivery, whichever ends first.
Written notice by certified mail
You give the manufacturer direct written notice by certified mail and an opportunity to cure. This notice is required before the statutory presumption applies.
The presumption is met
A reasonable number of attempts is presumed after four or more repairs for the same continuing defect, or 40 or more cumulative days out of service, within the rights period.
Replacement or refund
If the manufacturer still cannot conform the vehicle, it must provide a comparable replacement or refund the purchase price and specified charges, less a reasonable allowance for use. Prevailing consumers are entitled to reasonable attorney’s fees.
Eligibility
Does Your Vehicle Qualify?
Nebraska’s lemon law covers new motor vehicles sold in the state for personal, family, household, or business use. A few conditions generally need to be met.
New vehicle in Nebraska
A new motor vehicle sold in Nebraska for personal, family, household, or business use. Recreational vehicles are excluded.
Substantial nonconformity
A covered defect that substantially impairs the vehicle’s use and market value, and that continues after repair attempts.
Reasonable repair attempts
Four or more repairs for the same defect, or 40 or more cumulative days out of service, within the warranty term or one year after delivery.
Written notice given
The manufacturer received direct written notice by certified mail and an opportunity to cure before you rely on the statutory presumption.
Bought from a prior owner? Nebraska’s protections can extend to a later owner during the warranty period, but subsequent-owner rights depend on the statute’s warranty and transferee provisions. We can review whether your purchase qualifies.
Working with counsel
Why Work With a Nebraska Lemon Law Attorney
You can file on your own, but manufacturers defend these claims with experienced counsel. Here’s what representation adds.
We know the other side’s playbook
Our founder defended automakers before representing consumers, so we can anticipate how manufacturers evaluate and contest claims.
We counter delay tactics
Manufacturers often stall, hoping owners give up. We keep the statutory clock and the paperwork moving toward a resolution.
We document to support recovery
A well-documented repair history and demand are what move a claim toward a repurchase, replacement, or cash settlement.
Fees are contingent — No Win, No Fee§. No upfront attorney’s fees, and in successful claims fees are typically recovered from the manufacturer. Clients may be responsible for certain costs as described in their fee agreement.
Our story
Founded by Former Car Manufacturer Defense Counsel
Lemon Law Group Partners was founded in 2012 by an attorney who previously defended one of Detroit’s Big Three automakers. After years on the manufacturer’s side of these disputes, our founder chose to represent the consumers on the other side of them. Because we know how automakers evaluate, value, and defend lemon law claims, we document and present each claim with that perspective in mind — pursuing the full compensation available under Nebraska law and the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act.

Does Nebraska’s lemon law cover used cars?
The Nebraska Lemon Law applies to new motor vehicles. Its protections can follow the vehicle to a later owner during the warranty period, but subsequent-owner rights depend on the statute’s warranty and transferee provisions. Used-vehicle owners may also have rights under the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act.
How do I choose a Nebraska lemon law attorney?
Look for a Nebraska lemon law attorney who regularly handles state Lemon Law and warranty claims, understands the certified-mail notice requirement and filing deadlines, and offers contingency representation so you pay nothing upfront. Experience on the manufacturer defense side is a plus — it means your counsel knows how automakers evaluate and contest claims.
What does a lemon law case cost in Nebraska?
Typically nothing out of pocket to start. Nebraska lemon law and warranty claims are commonly handled on contingency. Under Nebraska law, prevailing consumers are entitled to recover reasonable attorney’s fees from the manufacturer, and fee recovery may also be available under the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act.
Do I have to pay a Nebraska lemon law attorney upfront?
No. Our Nebraska lemon law attorneys handle claims with no upfront attorney’s fees — you pay nothing unless we win or settle. Nebraska law entitles a prevailing consumer to recover reasonable attorney’s fees from the manufacturer.
