BA data breach claim deadline is fast approaching

The BA data breach claim deadline is fast approaching and is due to fall early next year. 2021 is just around the corner, so there really is not a lot of time left to get involved.

It is vital for people to start their claim as soon as they can, even if people feel that they have plenty of time left to do so. The deadlines come around quick and there is more to it than just lodging a case. People commonly miss the deadline and then come to us after they have passed, and we must sadly turn those people away.

Our advice is always the same. If you were a victim of this data breach, head over to the BA Group Action website here now and do not delay any further.

Mercedes diesel compensation claims
October 23, 2020
The Mercedes Emissions Action for compensation

The Mercedes Emissions Action for compensation is extremely important. It is designed to hold Mercedes accountable if it is established that they have been cheating emissions testing.

Right now, parent company Daimler deny that they have done anything wrong. However, Mercedes began a ‘voluntary service action’ in 2017, recalling thousands of cars for software updates relating to engine management systems and emissions. So far, around 3 million diesel vehicles are thought to have been involved.

The Group Action Lawyers are experts in bringing together Group Action Claims, where a large number of affected victims, sometimes millions, come together to bring a joint legal case forward where similar issues arise. In this case, Daimler/Mercedes is the defendant, and we want to help fight for justice for owners for it if transpires that they have been breaking the law.
