Frequently Asked QuestionsFees & Cost

Who pays for experts or appraisal costs?

Plain-English Answer

In many Song-Beverly cases, reasonable litigation costs can be recovered from the manufacturer when you prevail, alongside attorney fees. Whether an expert inspection or appraisal is needed depends on the defect (for example, intermittent electrical issues or prior collision disputes). CLINE APC evaluates that need during case review and explains how costs are handled before you commit.
