“I personally am deeply sorry that we have broken the trust of our customers and the public.” – Martin Winterkorn, Chief Executive of Volkswagen.
Federal regulators at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have accused Volkswagen of using software to intentionally cheat emissions standards in its diesel Audi and Volkswagen automobiles, manufactured in the years 2009-2015, which includes at least 482,000 cars according to the EPA. In August of this year, 23% of new Volkswagens sold were diesel. The Porsche brand is also under investigation for certain makes and models.
Volkswagen’s emissions software, which intentionally misled regulators and consumers, also creates a public health risk to everyone by allowing higher than legal levels of emissions.
Reports state that the automaker will be forced to recall all affected diesel vehicles, including Jetta (model years 2009 – 2015); Beetle (model years 2009 – 2015); Audi A3 (model years 2009 – 2015); Golf (model years 2009 – 2015); and Passat (model years 2014 – 2015.)
The Ferraro Law Firm is investigating this potential fraud by Volkswagen and harm to consumers. If you own one of the vehicles listed above, call our office immediately: (833) 497-4225.
Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
01.
How do I know if my car is considered a defective vehicle?
Watch for unusual mechanical failures, issues like defective airbags, or a history of recalls specific to your car’s model. An experienced auto defect attorney can review official safety data and help determine if your vehicle qualifies as defective, and establish liability.
02.
What if the accident caused me to lose control, but I suspect a steering wheel malfunction?
If a design flaw or manufacturing defect led to the issue, you could have grounds for a product liability claim against the auto manufacturer.
03.
Can I file a class action lawsuit?
If many vehicle owners have experienced the same defective parts or injuries, a class action lawsuit may be an option. However, individual lawsuits can often be just as effective, depending on the circumstances of your case.
04.
What type of compensation am I entitled to?
You may recover medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and sometimes punitive damages if the manufacturer acted recklessly.
05.
Are there time limits on filing a defective vehicle lawsuit in Florida?
Yes. Each state has a statute of limitations for personal injury or product liability claims, and in Florida, strict deadlines apply. Consult an attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights and avoid missing important deadlines.
06.
Can Ferraro Law handle my case if I live outside of Florida?
Absolutely. We represent clients nationwide. Our extensive experience in complex litigation and specialized claims proves that we can effectively advocate for your rights, no matter where you live.
