VW EMISSIONS CLAIM

Volkswagen has admitted that 1.2 million vehicles sold in the UK were fitted with emissions test cheating software.

Volkswagen vehicles were equipped with software that systematically circumvented legal emissions standards.
So far the scandal has cost Volkswagen $33 billion in legal fees, fines, and compensation.

In March 2020, the High Court of England and Wales handed down judgment in a ‘preliminary issue’ hearing on whether the decision of the German road vehicle authority that the software was in fact a ‘defeat device’ was binding in the English courts.  The Judge found that it was and that the software in the vehicles “did indeed amount to a prohibited ‘defeat device.’ The Judge concluded that VW’s attempt to re-litigate the issue in the UK was an “abuse of the process.”

Financial Restitution – If you purchased an affected vehicle, you may have overpaid for it and could struggle to sell it on the secondary market for full value. This claim aims to make sure you are compensated. Also, your car might have been less fuel efficient than promised.

No Risk – This claim is dedicated to making this process simple and straightforward for you. Once you have provided the information about your affected vehicle, your case will be handled from start to finish at no cost to you If you receive compensation from the defendants then our fees will be a proportion of the compensation paid but you will keep the majority of the compensation.

Corporate Accountability – No person or corporation is above the law regardless of wealth or power. We believe that Volkswagen has been profoundly dishonest with their customers, causing financial and physical harm to you. Joining this claim sends the message to Volkswagen and all other involved/relevant corporations that they will be held accountable for their behavior.

Your Health – According to a report from the European Federation for Transport and Environment, aggregate traffic pollution in Europe costs Europeans an estimated 60 billion euros annually and is responsible for hundreds of thousands of premature deaths each year. NOx from vehicles is a significant source of traffic pollution and is a known irritant to the lungs and cause of respiratory problems like asthma, wheezing, coughing, colds, and bronchitis. Children are particularly susceptible to the harmful effects of NOx. Volkswagen’s conduct may have placed your health, and the health of children and the elderly, at risk by intentionally violating emission standards. 

Your Environment – NOx is a dangerous nitrogen-based pollutant that is responsible for acid rain, global warming, smog and deterioration of the ozone layer. Taking legal action will deter Volkswagen and other companies from putting their profits above your health and the planet.
