Our areas of work
We are authorised to assist clients in making claims in the following regulated areas:
- Diesel Emission Claims
If you instruct us to do so and subject to our assessment of your claim, our panel members will agree to make a claim/s on your behalf refer you to an independent law firm on the terms of this agreement. We are not a law firm and do not give legal advice;
Our service is limited to the initial assessment of your Diesel Emission Claim and subsequent referral to a regulated law firm who can bring the claim on your behalf
You do not need to use a claims management company to make a claim.
You have the right to use any of the appropriate regulatory bodies for free in relation to your claim, including:
No-Win, No-Fee Claim
We will not charge you for our service even if you decide not to proceed with a claim or we refer you to a law firm and you go on to make a successful claim. We offer a free, no-obligation review of your case.
All the law firms we work with offer their legal representation on a no win, no fee basis. This means you don’t pay a penny until and unless you win your claim, and even then, the legal fees come out of the compensation recovered from the opponent (not your pocket).
Our panel of law firms consist of:
- Milberg London – Diesel Emission Claims
- Black Lion Law – Diesel Emission Claims
If you choose to proceed with a law firm, you will be asked to sign-up to their terms of business and that documentation will contain their no win, no fee payment terms. You should review these carefully before
proceeding.
How we will assist you
Diesel Refund provides this site, bmwclaims.com, as part of an introductory service that aims to put you in touch with a specialist solicitor or legal executive without delay. By agreeing to these Terms of Business, you give your informed consent to that introduction.
We will not charge you anything for doing this.
We have a fee-sharing agreement with the law firms we work with and that’s how we get paid.
Further details about our arrangement with panel firms are available on request. Remember, Diesel Refund are not a law firm and do not provide legal advice.
If we feel we cannot help you, we will let you know, and of course you are always free to seek legal advice elsewhere.
Any resulting contract that you enter into for legal services will be with one of our panel of law firms, not Diesel Refund. Diesel Refund therefore, do not accept any responsibility or related liability for any advice given to you or other work carried out on your behalf, by our panel of law firms, or any other law firm that you chose to appoint. You are under no obligation to instruct one or any of our panel of law firms.
Solicitor firms pay for marketing, call handling and other services. This does not affect the value of your claim in any way.
Diesel emissions claims may be at risk of being time-barred under a limitation period. This is the period within which court action must be commenced. If you think you have a claim, our recommendation is to seek legal advice immediately to avoid your claim expiring.
