Re: emotional stress,psychological damage
Most likely your Mom's settlement precluded any further claims on the matter, but if you are not sure you should have an attorney review the settlement.
Re: emotional stress,psychological damage
I agree with Mr. Becker. Even if your mother can still sue, she may not be able to recover for emotional distress. Most lemon-law cases involve claims for breach of contract and breach of warranty. Emotional distress damages are not available in such claims.
