What to Ask Before Hiring a Rivian Lemon Law Attorney
Have you handled Rivian cases?
Ask how many, and how Rivian Automotive, LLC usually responds to buyback and replacement demands. A firm that knows the manufacturer's process can move faster.
What records do you need from me?
Every service invoice and note from the Rivian app or account, screenshots of warnings and update notes, and your purchase or lease agreement. Download them before they are hard to find.
Do recall repairs count?
A recall repair for the same problem you reported can count as a repair attempt. Rivian has had 25 recalls since the 2021 model year, so ask how your recall history fits your claim.
What will it cost me?
Nothing. California makes the manufacturer pay your attorney fees when you win (Civil Code section 1794(d)). With us you pay $0, win or lose.
Will you go to trial against Rivian?
We take cases to trial when a manufacturer will not resolve them fairly.
