Boat and Watercraft Lemon Law Attorney In Encinitas

California’s Lemon Law applies to any boat or watercraft that is leased or sold with a Manufacturer’s Warranty. Whether it’s a large yacht, a small motorboat, or a vessel without a motor, it’s usually covered by California’s Lemon Law. Furthermore, PWC or personal watercrafts, such as a sea-doo, or jet skis, are also covered under this law. Basically, if it’s leased or purchased with a Manufacturer’s Warranty, you’re protected by California’s Lemon Law.

When a consumer discusses pursuing a Lemon Law with a Boats and Watercraft Lemon lawyer in Encinitas, California, at the Braff Injury Trial Law Group, we notify the manufacturer. We explain that we are representing you because of a significant defect in one of their products. This not only puts them on notice about your Lemon Law claim, but it’s also advises them of the serious safety issue that could adversely affect anyone using California’s waterways. Additionally, the law applies to defects that could impair the safety, use, or value of the vessel in question.

Furthermore, the burden of proof rests on the claimant. In other words, you must prove that your boat or watercraft has a significant defect that is covered under the warranty. At this point, you’re required to provide adequate notice regarding the problem to the manufacturer and give them the opportunity to repair it. If the defect persists despite a reasonable number of repair attempts, the manufacturer may be required to issue you a refund or provide a replacement boat or watercraft.
