Volkswagon Recall
Volkswagen has been in the news over the past few months for the worst possible reasons. A new class-action lawsuit is forming against Volkswagen over charges the automaker has been rigging vehicles to hide the levels of emissions they produce.
Many consumers purchased Volkswagen cars that were advertised as “clean diesel,” only to find out some Volkswagon models produced unlawful carbon emissions up to 40 times the pollution allowed.
While Volkswagen admitted its wrongdoing and set aside $7.3 billion to cover fines from this scandal, this lawsuit is far from being over. Volkswagon recalls are likely to continue, though there are no immediate actions required by the owners of Volkswagon models. This is where the attorneys at Viles & Beckman, P.A. step in.

Why File a Product Liability Lawsuit?
Volkswagon promised the consumers of the aforementioned vehicles that despite the vehicles burning diesel, they would be a cleaner vehicle that would not cause as much environmental impact. However, this was a lie and as a result, they are being held accountable for their deceptive and negligent actions through legal means. Volkswagon owes the EPA billions in damages caused by the negative environmental impact caused by their products and face criminal charges as well for their deception. As a consumer, you too have been wronged and have suffered damages if you have purchased one of the vehicles that Volkswagon has recalled.
Volkswagon has attempted to rectify their mistake by having their vehicles recalled to undergo corrective repairs but this does not undo all the damage that their actions have caused. Consumers that have purchased recalled Volkswagon products stand to suffer damages in the form of the reduced value of their vehicle. In addition to this, the vehicle will not operate with the same fuel efficiency as Volkswagon promised meaning more gas expense. The car may also simply not perform as well after it receives recall repairs to fix issues with the emissions. You are entitled to the right to receive compensation for these damages and can do so with the assistance of the experienced attorneys of Viles & Beckman.
