It is important that we issue a specific warning about Mercedes emissions compensation claims as it may now be too late to pursue a No Win, No Fee “Dieselgate” case in that action.
As things stand, the deadline for the original VW Group Litigation Order (GLO) action passed years ago, and that action was settled in the summer of 2022. Anyone yet to start a Mercedes emissions claim may also be out of time, as we will explain below.
The first step toward establishing if you are still eligible to claim is to complete the forms on our website here now.
IMPORTANT: warning about Mercedes emissions compensation deadlines
Here is a very important warning about Mercedes emissions compensation claim deadlines. As things stand, there are no guarantees that we will be able to secure compensation for anyone who owned or leased a Mercedes diesel model that has been eligible to join the actions over the last few years.
It may still be possible to claim but, at this late stage, we have to issue a specific warning about Mercedes models as there is now a greater risk that the Defendant (Daimler) will defend cases on the basis of time having expired. This is actually a risk that applies to other carmakers too, but we believe that those who now try to pursue a case for a Mercedes model face greater risks.
It is still worth trying to lodge a claim by completing a few forms here and allowing our team to perform the necessary eligibility checks. Do not give up, as we do work on a No Win, No Fee basis, and you could be eligible to recover thousands of pounds, just as those who settled their cases in the VW action last year did. There is potentially thousands of pounds on the line, but as we have been saying for quite some time now, the longer you leave things, the greater the chance that you will miss out.
Complete the forms on our website here now to find out if we are still able to initiate a claim once you have started the process.
Is there anything I can do once the deadlines have expired?
The reason that we need to issue this very important warning about Mercedes emissions compensation deadlines is because of the consequences in the event that you miss out. If you are eligible to claim, and Mercedes agrees to compensate, only those involved in the actions who claim in time will benefit from any settlement achieved in the action. If you are not part of the action, you will simply be forgoing your settlement for the carmaker to keep.
If that happens, and the final deadlines have passed, unfortunately, there is simply nothing more that we can do for you. We are currently still receiving new enquiries from people who should have started their VW cases in time for the last action, but they have now missed out. Sadly, we are having to turn them away and they are now out of pocket, potentially to the tune of thousands of pounds each.
