VW Emissions Fraud Lawsuit
Volkswagen recently admitted to fraudulent emissions testing and falsifying results so that its cars and vehicles would pass state and federal emissions standards. In doing so, the company knowingly sold thousands of cars to consumers under false pretenses. Not only did this violate state and federal regulation, it defrauded thousands of consumers. These individuals may now have a claim against the company.
If you have purchased one of the defective vehicles, there are legal steps you can take against Volkswagen to receive compensation.
