Volkswagen emissions action settlement
The Volkswagen emissions action settlement for claimants engaged in the Group Litigation Order (GLO) in England and Wales is another positive step forward in the global fight for emissions justice.
Tens of thousands of drivers are now in line for pay-outs, despite VW disputing that they had done anything wrong for several years. Whilst settlements can still be made without any admission of liability, it is clear that the compromise recognises the justification for compensation arising from the “Dieselgate” scandal.
The Group Action Lawyers has been representing victims of the emissions scandals since 2015. Eligible clients are able to benefit from our legal services on a No Win, No Fee basis.
Equifax data breach compensation action
The Equifax data breach compensation action is one of the dozens of privacy cases that our Group Action Lawyers are fighting for justice in on behalf of victims.
Eligible claimants could be entitled to receive compensation for any distress that has been caused by the loss of control of their personal information. Privacy compensation pay-outs can amount to thousands of pounds, and this is a niche area of law that we have a great deal of experience working in.
This data breach did take place almost five years ago. Some time-frames have already passed, and you will need to speak to our team as soon as possible to see if you are still in time to pursue a case.

Claiming in a data breach group action is important
Claiming in a data breach group action is important to be able to achieve some form of justice for what you have had to go through.
Claiming with the right firm and making sure to get your case launched in time is absolutely essential. This approach should give you the best chance of being able to succeed with a claim, and we will outline why this is the case below.
Sodium Valproate claims for compensation
Sodium Valproate claims for compensation can be pursued for damages for any injury and suffering that has arisen from the use of the drug.
The risks of using the drug during pregnancy can be significant and can lead to birth defects and serious developmental problems in infants. Unfortunately, consent and the explanation of risks to mothers has been an issue, leaving many not knowing that their unborn child could be at risk when taking the drug.
We are offering free, no-obligation claims assessments and you can speak to the team here now.
Renault emissions compensation claims
Since 2015, a number of regulators and investigators have been scrutinising car manufacturers in regards to potential emissions fraud. Some investigations were provoked by the Volkswagen “dieselgate” scandal first reaching the news, with the carmaker subjected to allegations that it had used illegal defeat device technology to cheat emissions test. French carmaker Renault has since come under suspicion, and if the accusations prove to be true, those who own or have owned affected vehicles may be eligible to pursue Renault emissions compensation claims.
Like other carmakers, Renault strongly denies that they have done anything wrong. We will thoroughly investigate claims to see whether this is the case or not.
Our firm has played a pioneering role in emissions litigation since the beginning. As strong advocates of consumer rights, we saw that the “dieselgate” scandal represented what looked to be a significant injustice for thousands of people. We initiated High Court proceedings against Volkswagen to ensure that justice was done, and now we want to ensure that all other suspected carmakers are thoroughly investigated on behalf of the customers who may have been affected.
Compensation for revision surgery in Group Actions
Claimants engaged in group and multi-party legal actions can be entitled to recover compensation for revision surgery where this is an applicable factor.
As Group Action Specialists (hence our name – The Group Action Lawyers) we have recovered substantial damages to cover this element of a legal case where it has applied in the many group actions that we have launched. Victims of negligence can be entitled to recover such damages as a claim is designed to help them as much as is reasonably possible, so corrective treatment is sometimes a must.
For anyone who needs this factored into a legal case, we may be able to help you now on a No Win, No Fee basis.
Contaminated Products and Group Action Compensation

Virgin Media data protection breach anniversary: still time to claim
We are now two years on since the news broke about the Virgin Media data protection breach that affected some 900,000 victims, most of whom were customers.
We represent thousands of people affected by the data leak on a No Win, No Fee basis who are engaged in a Group Action for justice. We are at quite an advanced stage for many of the claimants given the length of time that has passed since news of the leak broke in the press, but you are still in time to start your claim if you have yet to join the action. However, time is running out and we urge anyone who has yet to start their legal case for compensation to do so without delay.
You can sign up to join the Virgin Media data protection group action using the dedicated website here now.
Group action compensation for a workplace data breach
Employees can be entitled to pursue a workplace data breach compensation claim if an incident arises through the course of their employment.
As our name The Group Action Lawyers confirms, we specialise and focus on incidents that affect many people where their cases can be brought together. They can then be pursued as a group or multi-party action, and if there is a need to go to court then the legal cases can be joined into a Group Litigation Order (GLO). This is the method we use in England and Wales which is similar to the US term known as Class Actions.
We represent thousands of people in dozens of group and multi-party cases. Some of these have stemmed from a workplace data breach, and we can offer No Win, No Fee legal representation for eligible clients.
Mislabelled products: legal rights for compensation
Anyone who has been harmed as a result of mislabelled products could be entitled to bring a claim for compensation, and we can offer No Win, No Fee legal representation for eligible clients.
As Group Action Lawyers, this is the kind of event that we can represent people for. Not all incidents of the incorrect information on products can lead to harm but, when it does, this is where we may be able to help anyone affected.
Preventing medical implant problems is key for the future
It may sound obvious when we talk about the importance of preventing medical implant problems before mass scandals occur, but it is a key point to raise given our line of work.
As specialist Group Action Lawyers, we have represented thousands of people engaged in group and multi-party actions. Some of those have been for medical implant scandals, including the PIP Breast Implant Scandal, the Vaginal and Hernia Mesh issues, and the Metal-On-Metal Hip Implant cases. What this means is that we have seen first-hand just how badly patients can suffer when things go wrong, and we do not want to see a repeat of such scandals and the awful consequences that ensue. Whilst it can be difficult to prevent problems like the PIP Breast Implant cases where deceit was involved, preventing medical implant scandals through better testing and warnings is a development to push forward with.
It is easy to look back in hindsight and see what could have been done differently. But it is important to look to the future to make sure that there are no repeats of mistakes that could have been prevented.
