Fiat Chrysler are under investigation for allegedly fitting illegal emissions defeat devices to hundreds of thousands of their cars and vans.

If you ever owned or leased one of the affected diesel vehicles, you could be eligible for significant compensation.

We believe Fiat Chrysler deliberately misled customers about the amount of emissions these vehicles produced and believe customers should be compensated for the following reasons:

• The increased Nitrogen Dioxide levels are harmful to children, adults and the environment.
• Customers may have experienced higher fuel bills and maintenance costs.
• The performance of these vehicles was negatively affected.

Affected customers should be compensated for the wrong-doings of Fiat Chrysler, just as they were in the United States Volkswagen claim.

We will strive to win you as much as possible and are aiming to recover the entire cost of your vehicle. The exact amount will be decided by the Court.

Fiat Chrysler has agreed to pay approximately $800 million in penalties and compensation to settle similar claims in the United States.

We are, therefore, optimistic that we may be able to obtain damages of up to £10,000 or more per vehicle.

It’s completely free to sign up and join the claim. You will be asked to enter into a “no win, no fee” agreement with us.

Under the terms of this agreement, we will only ever take a cut to pay our fees and expenses, as well as those of barristers, funders and insurers, if the case is successful. The exact amount will depend upon how long the case takes, how much time the lawyers need to spend on it, and the level of compensation obtained.

We are unique in capping our fees at a maximum of 50% inclusive of VAT, though the actual fee may be as low as 20%. At PGMBM our goal is to claim back the entire purchase price of the car for you.

If you bought or leased any of the following diesel vehicles first registered between 2008 and 2020, then you are likely able to claim: Fiat, Alfa Romeo, Jeep, Iveco or Suzuki.

Once you’ve signed up, we’ll ask for some further information from you in a questionnaire and we’ll let you know for sure whether you’re able to claim.

We’ve made the entire process simple and straightforward for you.

For starters, follow the Chatbot on this page and register your details with us. Once you’ve signed up, we’ll send you a questionnaire to fill out, and let you know whether you’re able to claim.

We’ll then send you regular updates to let you know how the case is progressing.

PGMBM are a top UK and global law firm combining the talents of some of the UK’s leading solicitors and barristers with the financial resources and expertise of American class action lawyers.

We are passionate about winning this case and are determined to hold Fiat Chrysler to account.

We are currently one of the lead firms in similar group claims against Volkswagen and Mercedes, and we represent tens of thousands of clients.

By joining our group claim you have the best chance of getting compensation and we make sure the whole process simple and straightforward.

We do everything for you and make your claim easy and stress free. We operate on a “no win, no fee” basis, and cap our fees at a maximum of 50%.

We’re going to run this case as a group action, meaning that we run all of our clients’ cases under one “umbrella”. This makes it easier to move all the cases forward together instead of doing them one at a time.

If we don’t win compensation for you, and provided you keep to the terms of the agreement, then you won’t pay a penny. We protect you against any costs that Fiat Chrysler may incur by taking out an insurance policy known as After-The-Event (ATE) insurance that covers all of the costs if the case isn’t successful.

This is not as straightforward as some other cases like personal injury or PPI. The deduction has 3 elements in it: first the success fee, because we are sharing the risk of the case with you. Don’t forget we don’t get paid anything if we lose. Second, any potential shortfall of our costs that Fiat Chrysler don’t pay. Third, the cost of the ATE policy that needs to be paid.

We call this type of insurance Before-The-Event (BTE) insurance because you’ll have had it in place before this claim started. It’s worth checking for Legal Expense policies however, they will usually not cover a car purchase from this long ago. They usually don’t cover group action either.

When we send out all the documents at the start of the case, we’ll send out a questionnaire about this and contact any insurers you have policies with to see if this can be used.

Our case is distinct from PPI cases. PPI cases usually follow years of investigation by financial regulation authorities and multiple drawn out court cases. As a claimant in this case, you are part of the initial case being put forward against Fiat Chrysler.

We cannot guarantee a timescale for this group action but we will aim to proceed your claim as expediently as possible.
