How long will this claim take?
Group litigation is quite complicated and there are many aspects which need to be carefully considered, including tactics. The time it takes to reach a conclusion also depends on whether Mercedes defend any claims made and how rigorously they conduct any defence. We are currently anticipating that the litigation may take approximately 2 years but we will of course keep you notified of the progress at all times.
What if I have legal expenses insurance cover?
Many people have a legal expenses insurance policy as an add-on on their car or home insurance. Many credit cards and banks also include a policy of legal expenses insurance. We can help you find out if firstly you have any insurance like this and secondly whether this insurance will cover the funding of your claim against Mercedes. If it does, then we may be able to reduce any agreed deduction from your compensation.
I leased a Mercedes, can I claim?
Yes you can is the simple answer. Please complete the online form and we will investigate whether the vehicle you least was affected.
I have owned several Mercedes vehicles. Can I claim for all of them?
If all of the vehicles that you have owned are affected, then yes. We will need you to provide details for each of the vehicles that you have owned and will conduct enquiries to see if they are affected and potentially claimable.
What is a no win/no fee agreement?
Essentially, this is a way of funding litigation. The actual name of this agreement is a conditional fee agreement, which means that fees are charged to you conditionally, being if you win your claim. If your claim is successful, then we are entitled to charge a success fee and also charge you for any unrecovered costs and disbursements. This is not open-ended, and by instructing us we promise not to deduct more than 30% of any damages awarded to you. This means that for every £1000 recovered for you, we will charge you up to £300 which includes VAT. Cases such as this can be extremely complicated and costly to run, and we believe that our charges are extremely competitive.
If your case is lost, you pay us nothing.
What will it cost me?
If your claim is unsuccessful, you will not have to pay anything. We are bringing these claims on a no win/no fee basis and will only charge you if the claim is successful, up to 30% of your damages. This includes VAT and as such we believe that we offer the best value for money of all the firms currently undertaking this work. If you have any queries at all regarding the cost, please contact us.
