British Airways data breach compensation
May 26, 2020
British Airways data breach compensation action

If you have yet to join the British Airways data breach compensation action, you still have time to make a No Win, No Fee case, but time is running out.

We always recommend that victims who are serious about making a claim should start their case as soon as possible. Missing a key court deadline could be the difference between succeeding with a claim and receiving thousands of pounds in damages or receiving nothing at all. There is more to a case than just registering your information with a firm so you should act as soon as you can.

With No Win, No Fee representation on offer, legal fees can be written off if a case does not succeed. As such, what do you have to lose in starting a case? There is no need to delay, but perhaps a lot to lose in delaying any further.

Mercedes emissions compensation

Mercedes emissions compensation claims

We are taking forward Mercedes emissions compensation claims in the same way that we have represented thousands for cases against Volkswagen, Porsche and Jaguar.

When we first took action against VW for their huge emissions scandal back in 2015, we strongly suspected that they would not be the only manufacturer to be investigated. Since then, other vehicle makers have been involved with legal actions and have initiated recalls around the world over emissions irregularities.

As we suspected, the VW scandal was the tip of the iceberg.

We are taking claims forward for Mercedes (Daimler) owners whose vehicles have been subject to recalls. We can represent clients on a No Win, No Fee basis for claims.

Group action deadlines: IMPORTANT WARNING

Missing group action deadlines can mean that you are unable to complete a compensation claim as part of an established action.

We wanted to raise more awareness about this as we have recently received new enquiries from a number of people affected by the Volkswagen Emissions Scandal.
