[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 616127, member: 1233"] If you didn't rent a car, then I doubt you get the rental fees because you don't have receipts for them. fees for changing appts like cancellation fees etc.. would be included. The gymnastics fees for the sessions she didn't attend would also be included. I would figure some fee for missing the holiday though I am not sure it would be allowed, mostly because you can always be told no but you don't ever get what you don't ask for. Also include any towing, cost for someone to come get you when it broke down, etc... If you use a taxi, get a receipt and use that in the claim. I would include emotional damages for being stranded on the side of the road and afraid that someone could stop and hurt you or that yuou could have been hit by a car. Include any amount of increased groceries due to having to make more trips because you could not fit the groceries from a regular trip in your vehicle, etc.... Include increased gas use due to more trips being made and/or the truck using more gas (which is why you got the car in the first place, or so you want to claim). There may be other damages. To try to find them, google "damages to claim when suing over lemon car" or other phrases that are similar. The ADA stuff would be an add on separate issue to use as leverage. It was included as an extra to try to get the dealership to give you a better deal rather than a real claim. Of course it IS a real claim, but it is something to use to give leverage more than an issue you are passionate about the way you are about the car, Know what I mean?? It lets you tell the dealer that you are willing to drop the ADA stuff and settle for X amount rather than the X-Y amount the dealer wants to offer. Try calling other attorneys and asking if they will take this on a part of the settlement or pro bono. all they can do is say no, and when you have this law, it is likely they can easily win. The 40% of the settlement is pretty standard and gives them incentive to win a large settlement. They get bigger settlements by tossing in things like the ADA stuff. I bet if you call around you could find someone who is willing to take this on contingency, meaning no settlement or win equals no payment from you. Otherwise, find a law school and look for a clinic or a student who might be willing to advise you.
