Our US colleagues did not wait long to react.
The first class-action lawsuits were filed in 2015.

A year later Volkswagen agreed to pay $ 15,3 billion as part of the deal. By then, it was the highest amount ever paid in a class action process by a car maker in the US.

$ 10 billion were supposed to be paid to affected car owners. But that's not all. Car owners are entitled to receive free repair, or they can return their car at an estimated value before the scandal began. Leasing contracts can be terminated without extra charges. Furthermore, clients get compensation $ 5.000 - 10.000 for each car. Finally, if that should not be enough, one can still decline the offer and start a litigation case against VW.

Above would be a dream outcome for clients in many other countries. But the case is not over yet.

The best jurisdiction system to take legal steps against Volkswagen AG in this case is undoubtedly in the US. 

The second best, however is probably in Germany.

The car makers have their headquarters located here, the jurisdiction is stable, transparent and consumer protection is highly acknowledged. Last but not least, once the process gets going it is expected to end sooner than in other countries.

But there's a problem. It almost came too late. We've only got little time left to react. Good news though, you can register here and now, without any risk.

Now it's your turn to join the process and ask for compensation.

Finally, please help us spread the word by sharing this story. The more people know about this, the better chances we have.

Anyone who claims to know this is guessing only.


Right now there are more questions than facts.

A common strategy of large corporations in similar cases is often to make life as difficult as possible for claimants to achieve a deterrent effect. 



But two things are entirely clear: there's a justified basis for compensation and there's nothing to lose.



Unless an out-of-court settlement is reached (which is not very likely), the process will take approximately 3-4 years.

Pessimistic expectations estimate returns amounting 7% of the purchase price, while optimists think 25% could be reached as well.

Some do it for money.
Some do it for justice.
Some do it motivated by environmental awareness.

Some have all these motivations together, and for those that have none (yet), we suggest to try and figure out how the value of their used diesel vehicle will depreciate in the next coming years when vast numbers of unwanted diesel cars will be thrown on the market.

Do you realize, that an increasing number of diesel-no-go-zones are being announced one after the other? 

A process accelerated by the Diesel Scandal, too.
