Dieselgate Emission scandal – Your rights as a car buyer

With or­der on the case VIII ZR 225/17 from 8 Janu­ary 2019, the Fed­eral Su­preme Court de­cided: Cars with an il­legal shut­down of the emis­sion con­trol are de­fect­ive. Are you driv­ing a Diesel? We help with the en­force­ment of your rights!

You can as­sert your claims against the car man­u­fac­turer or your car dealer. There are two legal op­tions avail­able for you:

• Re­claim of the pur­chase price or an ad­equate new vehicle
• Keep­ing the car and claim­ing dam­ages

We take care of the cost cov­er­age through your legal ex­pense in­sur­ance or the fin­an­cing through a lit­ig­a­tion fun­der.

The ini­tial con­sulta­tion by us is free of charge for you. Feel free to con­tact us at any time.

In case you fin­anced your Diesel we re­view next to legal claims against the car man­u­fac­turer also the pos­sib­il­ity of re­vok­ing the credit based on an in­cor­rect credit agree­ment.

You don’t know if fraud soft­ware for emis­sion ma­nip­u­la­tion has been built into your car? Here you can find an over­view of the vehicles af­fected.

Damage claim and the right to restitution

Don’t wait un­til your Diesel is worth noth­ing! Claim your pur­chase price or an ad­equate new vehicle now. We en­force your rights against the car man­u­fac­turer, which built in the fraud soft­ware and there­fore dam­aged you as a cus­tomer.

Buy­ers of a Diesel vehicle with built-​in fraud soft­ware have the right to res­cind the con­tract and re­turn the car to the man­u­fac­turer. The buyer re­ceives back the pur­chase price in­clud­ing in­terest, after the de­duc­tion of a small com­pens­a­tion for the kilo­met­ers driven. Due to the fact that diesel vehicles ex­per­i­ence a con­tinu­ous loss in value, our re­com­mend­a­tion is as fol­lows: Claim your pur­chase price for re­turn­ing the car or de­mand an ad­equate vehicle that re­spects cur­rent emis­sion stand­ards.

Nev­er­the­less, if it is ab­so­lutely ne­ces­sary for you to keep your car, you can claim at least com­pens­a­tion for the loss in value, pos­sible mo­bil­ity impair­ments and other im­min­ent losses.

Take ac­tion against the im­min­ent loss in value of your car, driv­ing bans and pos­sible with­drawal of the op­er­at­ing per­mit.

Our team of ex­per­i­enced law­yers stands at your side as a re­li­able part­ner.
