Volkswagen Emissions
Overcoming law firms with diesel-on-off drivers affected by emissions cheating devices.
Case Overview
In 2015, Volkswagen admitted to installing "defeat devices" in millions of diesel vehicles worldwide. These software systems detected when vehicles were being tested and temporarily reduced emissions, while normal driving produced up to 40 times the legal limit of nitrogen-oxide pollutants.
The "clean diesel" marketing campaign was a deliberate fraud. VW promoted these vehicles as environmentally friendly while knowingly selling cars that violated emissions standards and harmed air quality.
While major settlements have been reached, additional claims may be available for affected vehicle owners who haven't yet participated or who have remaining damages.
Ongoing - Major settlements reached, additional claims being pursued
Owners of affected diesel vehicles may still have claims available.
Volkswagen's diesel emissions fraud was one of the largest automotive scandals in history.
Software detected emissions testing and temporarily reduced pollution, then allowed 40x legal limits during normal driving.
Approximately 11 million vehicles worldwide were equipped with defeat devices, including 580,000 in the United States.
VW faced criminal charges, and the company pleaded guilty to fraud and paid over $30 billion globally.
