As a firm of specialist car emissions and consumer action lawyers, we always want to ensure that our clients are getting the best deal possible. Most importantly, we do all we can to widen access to justice, which is why we aim to offer No Win, No Fee representation to eligible claimants. We are pleased to be able to offer our No Win, No Fee agreement to those who are eligible to claim in our emissions group actions.
There can be a stigma around the concept of No Win, No Fee legal representation, with some people thinking it sounds too good to be true. We aim to demystify the concept and assure our clients that it really is a legitimate form of legal agreement that can offer you protection in the event your case is unsuccessful.
Your Lawyers has been involved in emissions litigation since the beginning. We have been pursuing cases since news of the “dieselgate” scandal hit the headlines in September 2015. We also initiated High Court proceedings in response to the Volkswagen scandal news in 2016 – the first to do so in England and Wales. Now, we want to ensure that other suspected carmakers are thoroughly scrutinised and held to account if necessary. You could be entitled to make an emissions compensation claim – check your eligibility now via our online form here.
What is a No Win, No Fee agreement and how does it work?
With Your Lawyers (as we cannot speak for other firms who may still charge), our No Win, No Fee agreement does what it says on the tin. If your claim happens to be unsuccessful, you do not have to pay our legal fees, subject to your compliance with the terms and conditions of the agreement (which we have to say). By offering this agreement, we can minimise any financial risk for our claimants, helping to ensure they do not lose out by making a claim.
Where your claim is successful, we can include a success fee deduction as a percentage of your compensation to pay legal costs that we cannot recover from the opponent.
Claiming in our car emissions group actions
In our car emissions group actions, we are pursuing allegations that suggest a number of carmakers may have cheated emissions tests by means of things like defeat devices. Where these allegations are proven to be true, the affected car owners may be eligible for deceit claims against the manufacturers or dealerships.
As part of your No Win, No Fee claim, you could be eligible to recover a significant compensation pay-out for any breach of your consumer rights. In fact, those who have been affected by a breach of the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations could be entitled to a pay-out of up to 100% of the original price paid for their vehicles.
Make your diesel emissions claim
As one of the first firms to bring claims against Volkswagen, we have the expertise needed to hold further car manufacturers to account. We are investigating emissions actions against several suspected car manufacturers, so if you are worried that you may have been affected by emissions fraud, you can use our online form to check your eligibility now.
