Can you claim compensation for the diesel emissions scandals?

If you own or lease, or previously owned or leased, a diesel vehicle over the last ten years or so, you could be entitled to pursue compensation in one of the many diesel emissions scandals actions that we are running for people.

The diesel emissions scandals date back to the first one which is the original “Dieselgate” matter involving Volkswagen, where they were accused of deploying defeat devices to cheat emissions regulations. Since the scandal emerged, dozens of other carmakers have faced similar allegations of engaging in behaviour that could amount to cheating regulations in various ways. These include the likes of Mercedes, Ford, BMW, and more.

Of course, the various carmakers strenuously deny that they have done anything wrong. Despite this, several have resolved compensation claims here in England and Wales and around the world, and others have been successfully prosecuted. There is no smoke without fire, and we believe that other carmakers could be found guilty of engaging in similar behaviour as VW has here.

What we do and our important work

The importance of our work in respect of holding carmakers to account over the various diesel emission scandals cannot be understated. We are civil claims lawyers which means that we can pursue compensation for anybody who has been affected which, in a case like this, is about owning or leasing a potentially affected vehicle. The Dieselgate scandals may cause issues in respect of the value of the vehicle, and also the cost to run them as well, so it is important that compensation is issued. At the same time, there is also the fact that people may have been driving vehicles that they thought complied with important lifesaving emissions regulations when, in fact, they did not.

What we can do is use the law to pursue claims for compensation for anybody who has been affected. This can act as some form of justice for those who own or lease an affected vehicle, and it can work as extra punishment for the behaviour that the vehicle manufacturer has engaged in.

It is important to ensure that carmakers are properly punished given that emissions regulations are there to save lives and protect our environment. Unfortunately, people may have died prematurely as a direct result of additional emissions that people did not know about as a result of the various scandals, according to scientific studies and opinion. This is something that needs to be looked at and taken seriously.
