We are preparing the legal process. We will run the cases for the German car brands directly in Germany. Our German lawyers have already conducted cases for several other countries under German law and they are now ready to handle our cases.
In consultation with our lawyers, we are still open for registration. We want as many car owners as possible to receive the compensation that the EU Court has RULED they are entitled to. It is FREE to participate and everyone who HAS or HAS HAD an affected car (i.e. a diesel car) can register.

The EU Court ruled that ALL who HAVE or HAVE HAD a diesel car (REGARDLESS OF BRAND) are entitled to compensation if emissions were cheated. In addition, the ruling states that THE AUTHORITIES ARE OBLIGED TO HELP.
The ruling came in connection with a case against Mercedes Benz, but applies to all the brands mentioned above. CLICK HERE to read the ruling.
In Germany, it was the German version of the Consumer Council and NAF that ran the process against Volkswagen and ensured that car owners received compensation. In the UK, where they won in May 2022, it was a private initiative.
On 12 July 2022, the lawsuit between the German Consumer Council and Mercedes Benz began – the German authorities are also taking action here. On 21 March 2023, the EU Court ruled that ALL car owners who HAVE or HAVE HAD a diesel car with emission fraud (applies to virtually all diesel cars from all brands) are entitled to compensation – and it was also ruled that the authorities are obliged to help.
Despite the resources available to consumer organisations, the complaint process in Norway is a private initiative and car owners must fund the work themselves. CarClaims is open to cooperation with authorities and interest organisations.

Registration
If you wish to claim compensation for owning or having owned one or more of the affected cars, CLICK HERE to register.
-
Follow-up
We bring together participants, handle the entire complaint process and keep all participants informed through regular newsletters, updating on progress throughout the lifetime of the case.
There are many benefits to standing together as a strong group when facing such large and powerful counterparts. Hundreds of thousands of car owners are entitled to compensation, but only those who CLAIM it will receive it. That is why we must unite.
-
Negotiation
We handle the complaint process and submit compensation claims on behalf of all our participants.
The EU Court ruled on 21 March 2023 that ALL who HAVE or HAVE HAD a diesel car – regardless of brand – are entitled to compensation if emissions were cheated.
It wasn't just VW that cheated – and now we need to clean up for all the other brands too.

Result
When we win, you receive 70% of the compensation, or 50% if you choose free registration. The rest goes to CarClaims and those who have assisted in the work.
By participating in the claim, your financial risk is limited to the registration fee.
This means the process is much more affordable and carries significantly lower risk than if you were to start an extensive complaint process on your own.
To those who are affected but unsure whether to participate: Your car was affected in the same way as millions of other cars. You have at least as good rights as consumers in Germany and other countries. Use the opportunity!
