Volkswagen UK trying to wriggle out of paying
Right now Volkswagen UK are refusing to offer compensation for victims who have been affected by the scandal. They’re trying to suggest that there is “no loss” to victims, but we don’t think this is the case at all. Their defence to the claims so far doesn’t really have a leg to stand on, and we remain absolutely confident that we will secure payouts for our clients.
Progress of our action
We’ve already commenced court proceedings back at the start of the year, and we’re paving the way for victims as our battle for justice keeps on growing and we continue to accept new cases on a daily basis.
Since Volkswagen decided, for the time being, to refuse paying compensation to UK victims, we naturally had no choice but to start court proceedings against them. For those who are already a part of our action, they’ll be safely registered and on the books for claims prior to any court imposed deadlines.
On the talk of deadlines, if you are serious about claiming, please contact us ASAP to avoid missing out!
A wealth of expertise – all on a no win, no fee basis
We’ve already instructed highly experienced barristers (including Queen’s Counsel) and experts, and our lawyers are used to helping people for claims in large group actions. Right now we’re still offering no win, no fee representation for anyone who has been affected by the scandal, but as our court proceedings progress, and as time goes on, things may change.
To properly secure your right to claim, please contact us as soon as possible.
Finally, what about the U.S. action?
Volkswagen were under way more pressure from U.S. government to form a practical solution which, in our view, is why they have agreed to settle U.S. claims first. They could have faced monumental fines had they have not proposed an effective solution in April, whereas here in the UK it’s pretty much been left to us lawyers to fight for the rights of victims, as the government doesn’t appear to be interested in threatening VW with fines or anything else.
There may have been half as many affected vehicles in the U.S. but it could have been the most expensive lawsuit had they have tried to defend it. Either way we remain confident we can win the claims here in the UK in any event!
