Fox Williams LLP investigating litigation against Mercedes in England and Wales following $700 million Class-Action Settlement in the US.

On 14^th September 2020, the US Department of Justice announced Daimler AG, on behalf of its subsidiary Mercedes-Benz, will also pay a civil penalty totaling $875 million, the largest per-vehicle penalty ever imposed for a mobile emissions violation under the Clean Air Act.

Mercedes vehicle owners, lessees and fleet operators of affected diesel cars in England and Wales now have the opportunity to potentially recover thousands of pounds from Mercedes for their dirty diesel emissions.

Fox Williams LLP, in collaboration with Hagens Berman (a US consumer-rights firm who represented owners in the US settlement), are investigating litigation to ensure consumers and fleet operators in England and Wales are protected.

ABOUT THE CASE VS MERCEDES

A Hagens Berman investigation, followed by the United States Department of Justice and Environmental Protection Agency revealed that Mercedes knowingly programmed its Clean Diesel vehicles to emit illegal, dangerous levels of nitrogen oxide (NOx) in virtually all real world driving conditions and its vehicles likely contain a “defeat device” used to cheat testing hiding the dangerous and polluting materials, in similar fashion to what Volkswagen did in Volkswagen’s Dieselgate scandal. Mercedes conduct has led to decrease in resale value of its impacted vehicles, as well as increases in environmental pollution by emitting dirty diesel emissions.

The Case vs Mercedes

AM I AFFECTED?

If you own or owned a Mercedes diesel vehicle, sold between 2008 and 2018, you can potentially make a claim for compensation. There are believed to be over 600,000 affected Mercedes vehicles in the UK (including private cars, commercial vehicles and vans) with over 1.25m owners of those vehicles who could claim. If you are one of those owners, we can help.
