What Are Great Claims for Diesel Emissions?

Diesel Emissions involve diesel car owners taking legal action against car manufacturers following the suspected discovery of “defeat devices” in their vehicles.

These devices are engineered to recognise when the car is being tested for emissions and alter its performance to emit less pollutants than it would under normal driving conditions.

This misleading conduct led to numerous diesel vehicles in the UK releasing substantially more harmful pollutants, such as nitrogen oxides (NOx), than advertised or legally allowed.

The claim primarily addresses the monetary detriment suffered by car owners, which may include decreased fuel efficiency and a reduction in the car's value.

A crucial question is whether a car owner would have purchased the vehicle if they had known about the presence of an emissions cheating device.

Our experienced team of diesel emissions solicitors suggests that claimants could potentially reclaim 25%-75% of the car’s value from the manufacturers as compensation for emissions.

Frequently asked questions

While there is variation in potential compensation due to several factors, the following outlines what you might anticipate:

Factors Affecting Compensation

  • Manufacturer and Model: Different car brands and models might have varying degrees of violation, influencing the compensation levels.

  • Purchase Price: Compensation for diesel emissions may be calculated as a proportion of the vehicle's original purchase price.

  • Financial Impact: Factors like the decrease in the vehicle's value, increased fuel consumption after remedial measures, and any other financial losses directly linked to the emissions scandal can affect the compensation amount.

Our panel of legal experts specialising in diesel claims estimates that claimants could receive between 25%-75% of the vehicle’s original value.

Additionally, over £100 million has already been successfully claimed by diesel emission claimants in England and Wales.

Several car manufacturers have faced allegations of fitting defeat devices in their vehicles from 2008 to 2018. The complexity of these investigations varies, with our panel sometimes requiring additional time to devise the most appropriate strategy for each claim.
