Emissions claim deadlines – do not miss your chance to claim

Several years have passed since the Volkswagen “dieselgate” scandal first hit the headlines, revealing that one of the world’s biggest carmakers may have been engaging in the deceitful manipulation of emissions controls in their vehicles. As one of the first firms to bring claims against Volkswagen, we are now investigating a string of other car manufacturers in relation to allegations of emissions cheating. As such, it is incredibly important that those affected seek legal advice before the emissions claim deadlines pass.

Whilst the deadline to join the Volkswagen group action has now passed, there may still be a chance to claim for affected owners of other diesel vehicles. We are investigating many others such as Porsche, Mercedes, Nissan and Renault, and many other carmakers. By signing up as soon as possible, you can look to ensure that you do not miss out on the opportunity to recover compensation. Some deadlines may have already passed, which is why we always recommend that you start a claim as soon as you possibly can.

As pioneers of emissions litigation, we have developed expertise in this specialist area of consumer claims. As such, we have the know-how to fight for the compensation you deserve. You can use our online form to register your claim today.

The allegations against carmakers

In 2015, Volkswagen faced allegations that it had used so-called defeat device technology as a means of cheating emissions tests. The High Court later determined that the software used by VW amounted to a defeat device, giving credence to allegations that Volkswagen’s diesel vehicles may been emitting illegal levels of nitrogen oxide (NOx); a gas that can be harmful to the environment and to human health.

The Volkswagen “dieselgate” scandal was then a trigger for a series of further emissions allegations, from which a number of group action claims have arisen. Based on the current evidence and successes so far of the Volkswagen action, we believe that eligible emissions claimants could recover thousands or even tens of thousands of pounds in compensation if it is found that they were wrongfully deceived by carmakers.

Potential emissions claim deadlines

Official emissions claim deadlines have yet to be set for some of our ongoing group actions, but they could catch up with potential claimants in the blink of an eye. Many of these carmakers have been accused of deceit over 5 years ago and, as time goes on, they will likely seek to do everything they can to limit the potential number of claimants. Plus, the more time that passes, the more likely a claimant could be to miss any limitation deadlines to claim as well.

We received many enquiries from affected VW owners after the Volkswagen GLO deadline passed and we were, unfortunately, forced to turn people away. We do not want to have to do this for any other car emissions claimants, so it is vital that those affected seize the opportunity to make a claim and get started today.

There are a number of points of law that may be relevant for many of the thousands of emissions claimants that we represent. For example, the CPUT (Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations) could allow claimants to recover up to 100% of the original purchase price of their vehicle. It is important to us that those claimants do not miss out on these potentially huge pay-out opportunities.
