Legal Question in Construction Law in California

Re: Service of product sold

Yes you can pursue this in small claims court but make sure you have pictures and documented evidence of the defect prior to its repair. You can purse small claims up to a limit $7500.00. However, as a plaintiff in small claims, if you lose, there is generally no right to appeal the decision.

First, I suggest you write the manufacture indicating that you have requested that they repair the defect and that they have not responded. Give them a short period (1 week) of time to respond to your request to repair the item or indicate that you will have it repaired at their cost.

I suggest you take numerous pictures of the defect before and during the repair (close ups and far away and from numerous angles). Next get the repair contractor to accurately give you an estimate (which is not inflated unreasonably) to repair the defect.

Make sure the estimate indicates that there is a manufacture defect in his professional opinion. An estimate from more than one contractor indicating a defect would be even better.

Have the item repaired and then have the invoice and check memo state repair of manufacture defect in door.

I hope this helps and please do not hesitate to call should you seek legal representation.

Sure, take your documents and evidence and present it clearly to the judge at the hearing. The company may settle before then.
