In 2015, the motoring world was rocked by a scandal that very few people saw coming. Volkswagen were accused of using software in their vehicles that could detect when the vehicle was going through tests and improve its results, effectively cheating emissions rules. Having initially been advertised to customers with a certain level of emissions and safety, the cars were proven to be vastly underperforming the standards that manufacturers stated and doing so deliberately. This is a clear case of false advertising.
As a response, thousands of motorists have joined the cause to get compensation from the companies. When you need help to make a claim, having the best diesel claim company on your side is a must. Find out more about the importance of diesel claims and how you can find the best diesel claim company available to get what you deserve back from the manufacturers that misled the public.
When you’re looking to make a diesel claim to make up for the damage caused by diesel car manufacturers, there are a few things to look out for. The first is finding a company that has the same passion that you have for justice in your case. “Dieselgate”, as it was known at the time, was a significant example of a company taking advantage of its customers. Working with a company that has the same drive as you for getting what you deserve is one of the main ways of knowing that your claim company is really on your side.
Make sure that you look for expertise in your selection process. Different companies have experience in a range of claims, and having knowledge that is relevant in as many fields as possible can only be beneficial for your claim. Think about which company has done the most work on compensation claims in general and who has a lot of successful experience in supporting clients. Industry-specific claims experience helps, but it isn’t a necessity for getting the support that you need in the process.
The amount of compensation that you earn from your diesel emissions claim can vary wildly, however, it isn’t a random number and there are a few ways of estimating how much you can earn from your claim. One of the factors affecting the amount of compensation you earn is the specific type of car that you were using. For example, a larger vehicle could be eligible for a larger sum of money thanks to the amount of money you invested in the car in the first place. The more money you spent on the vehicle, the stronger your argument is that you invested in that vehicle because it had a strong emissions rating and was, in your eyes, a better car for the environment than the other options on the market.
Your knowledge at the time of purchase can also have an impact on the amount of compensation that you are likely to receive. For example, if you bought the vehicle after the scandal emerged in 2015, there may be the assumption that you already knew about the scandal and still bought the car anyway. The same applies if you bought the vehicle second-hand, as second-hand vehicles tend to come with the assumption of a lower level of performance anyway, whilst costing you less.
There are several pieces of criteria for putting in a diesel claim, the first of which is owning a diesel vehicle that was directly affected by the scandal. This scandal didn’t have any impact on the manufacturers that were reporting their emissions accurately, so owning one of these cars doesn’t make you eligible for a claim. The manufacturers that are eligible for a claim include Audi, Citroen, Nissan, Peugeot, Porsche, Renault, Seat, Skoda, Vauxhall, Mercedes, BMW, Ford, Jaguar, Land Rover, Mini, Volkswagen and Volvo.
Eligibility also depends on the date that the vehicle was manufactured. Companies were using the method of misinforming tests from 2007 to 2018, which means that owning a car built in this period by any of the above manufacturers makes you an eligible claimant. Keep in mind that the car has to be a diesel vehicle, as these are the cars that were affected by the tests.
Diesel claims can be well worth it. Before delving into more detail, it is important to note that there is no guarantee of success when you are completing a diesel claim, and if you are successful the amount that you win in the claim could be small. Completing a diesel claim can also take a good amount of time, and isn’t necessarily the immediate route to justice that some motorists will hope for.
However, if you are eligible to make a claim, it is strongly advised. You could win back more than you expect, which you can use to spend on the things that matter to you. If you initially got a diesel car with good emissions ratings to protect the environment, you can use your hard-fought settlement to invest in protecting the world around us, so the money does eventually go to the right place. Not only that, but the satisfaction you get from telling large motoring companies that they can’t step on the average motorist as they did in the past is priceless.
