Certain car manufacturers have faced allegations of cheating emissions tests. Allegations include the use of software and devices that could make it appear as though the car was emitting less pollution than it actually does in usual driving conditions. If allegations are proven to be true, this means that people may have been lied to, and that the cars sold to them may actually have not been meeting pollution laws and regulations. As a result of the scandals and allegations, thousands of vehicle models have had to be recalled and some have had to receive software updates. Because of this, people affected by these recalls could be entitled to financial compensation if allegations of cheating and breaking laws are proven to be correct.
There are currently multiple group actions that are ongoing against dozens of carmakers. These emission actions concern huge companies that include Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Vauxhall, and Volkswagen. Some of these actions are different to others in terms of the nature of the allegations that they are facing, and some are still in a period of early investigations. However, if you have been potentially affected by one of the many recalls and emissions issues that have arisen due to the scandals, you may be able to pursue a claim, and we are here to help.
As the firm that initiated High Court proceedings against Volkswagen in January 2016, we are still fighting to ensure that as many victims of possible car emissions scandals can recover the compensation they could be entitled to. The list of carmakers suspected of emissions issues has grown significantly longer since 2015, when the Volkswagen “dieselgate” scandal first hit the headlines. There may be millions of affected car owners in the UK alone, all of whom could be eligible for our No Win, No Fee emissions representation.
When Volkswagen was first accused of manipulating diesel engines to cheat emissions tests, we immediately suspected that this was just the tip of the iceberg. Since then, we have initiated actions against carmakers including Porsche, Mercedes, and Nissan & Renault, and we are taking on claims against dozens of other high-profile carmakers also. As advocates of consumer rights, we want to make sure that any alleged deceit is rooted out, and that any potentially affected customers receive the compensation they could be entitled to claim.
It has been reported in the media that a substantial fine in the sum of $16.9m has been issued in respect of a Mercedes emissions rule breach in South Korea.
Although this is in a separate legal jurisdiction to that which we operate in, it is always good to see positive news stories of enforcement action being taken as part of the wider fight for global emissions justice. Your Lawyers – The Car Emissions Lawyers – are pioneers in the field of emissions compensation law, representing thousands of claimants engaged in actions now on a No Win, No Fee basis.

Some claimants pursuing emissions legal cases could be eligible to receive up to 100% of the purchase price of their vehicle by claiming CPUT damages.
This is based on key legislation that could apply in some claims, and it could mean that some claimants may be eligible to receive tens of thousands of pounds in damages. This is based on if the legislation can apply to the case, and if serious wrongdoing is established in a legal action.
Read on to find out more about how you could be eligible to receive substantial damages as a victim of an emissions scandal if allegations are proven to be true.
Over the course of our involvement in the ongoing vehicle emissions scandals, we have aimed to respond to all suspicions of fraud and/or emissions irregularities as they have arisen. When the “dieselgate” scandal first hit the headlines in 2015, it was Volkswagen in the line of fire, but it has since emerged that many other manufacturers have been accused of similar behaviour. Among our numerous group actions, we are taking forward Suzuki fuel emissions claims for owners who may also be caught up in alleged emissions cheating.
To us, the car emissions issues revealed in recent years represent not only a huge environmental and public health scandal, given how harmful and dangerous NOx can be, but they also amount to a significant violation of consumer rights, where the allegations against manufacturers are proven. This is because the suspected carmakers are accused of potentially misleading customers regarding the emissions output of their cars. This could mean that customers were not fully aware of what they were buying and what damage their vehicle may have been doing.
If you have been affected by any allegations of emissions irregularities, it is important to seek legal advice as soon as you can, as you could be entitled to thousands of pounds in compensation. Eligible clients can claim compensation on an entirely No Win, No Fee basis with us.
In 2015, reports emerged alleging that Volkswagen was responsible for emissions fraud, having allegedly cheated regulatory tests conducted on its diesel vehicles. In response, we launched legal claims for many affected car owners, and we were later involved in the Volkswagen GLO for emissions claims, having been appointed to the Steering Committee responsible for its overall conduct.
The “dieselgate” scandal has since unfolded further, with many other major carmakers being accused of similar emissions-related offences. Having played a key role in the fight to hold Volkswagen to account, we continue to pursue justice for all those affected by emissions fraud, pursuing several group actions against suspected car manufacturers.
We specialise in group litigation and believe that this is one of the most effective means of holding major companies to account. By allowing claimants to join our actions in their hundreds or even thousands, we can present a strong front against the defendants involved. If you believe you may have been affected by emissions irregularities, you can check your eligibility for a claim via our online form now.
The link between decreasing vehicle emissions and more lives being saved by preventable illnesses and afflictions is obvious. This is another reason as to why any alleged cheating of emissions regulations must be investigated, and any carmaker found to be breaking the rules must be punished.
Consumers who have been caught up in the various emissions scandals here in the UK can be eligible to join a group action for justice. The purpose of this can be to pursue compensation from the carmaker if owners have been misled, as the law can entitle this. Taking such action can act as a form of justice for any affected owners and former owners, and it can also serve as additional punishments for the offenders.

We are now over six years on from the breaking news that shook the world, when the original Volkswagen “dieselgate” scandal hit the headlines. Given that emissions are dangerous, news of their alleged behaviour had a huge impact across the globe and on the transport industry on the whole.
Right from the start, in September 2015 when news of the scandal broke, we decided to take action there and then. We recognised straight away just how serious this was, and the massive impact that it would have here in the UK. That is why we immediately started taking claims for compensation forward so we could take legal action for what had been going on. If we were not the first firm to formally accept No Win, No Fee legal cases, we were certainly one of them. When others were just registering details and unsure about what to do, we took legal action right away.
It has been a long fight, and it is far from over. And it is an incredibly important fight for many reasons also.
At Your Lawyers – The Car Emissions Lawyers – we have built a solid reputation as experts in diesel emissions litigations. Our journey in this area of law began from the outset of the Volkswagen “dieselgate” scandal way back in 2015, when the revelation that Volkswagen had been allegedly cheating emissions tests shook the world.
We have fought to see that Volkswagen can be held accountable for emissions fraud, taking on claims for the affected customers soon after the controversy emerged. In early 2016, we initiated High Court proceedings against Volkswagen, the first law firm in England and Wales to do so. We were later appointed to the Steering Committee responsible for the overall conduct of the litigation.
The VW NOx Emissions Litigation later led to the High Court’s determination that the software code hidden deep within the affected vehicles amounted to an unlawful “defeat device”. Since then, a number of further allegations have come to the fore with other well-known carmakers now in the firing line.
Our scrutiny of these manufacturers is still in the investigations stage, but we can also take on claims now for anyone else who has been affected by the alleged deceit of carmakers.
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.
Our emissions group actions are important for a number of reasons, both in terms of punishments for alleged breaches of the law and how this can impact us all, and in terms of justice for consumers.
We are more aware than ever when it comes to the climate emergency and the global challenges we face when it comes to our planet and our environment. Emissions laws and regulations are in place for very good and very important reasons, so any situation where carmakers have breached the law should be met with full and proper punishment.
This is what we want to achieve as part of our emissions class actions, as well as justice for victims who have been affected from a consumer perspective which is what we can achieve within the confines of the law.
