FEARLESS AUTO DEFECTS ATTORNEYS

In litigating cases, our firm strives to make an impact for a large volume of consumers, especially those who fall victim to the gross negligence and oversight of some of the nation’s largest entities: automakers. Hagens Berman has doubled-down on its core mission in regards to the auto industry, an area wrought with negligence and disregard for the millions of vehicle owners who trust the seatbelts, ignition switches, airbags and brakes in the cars they drive will not fail them.

Hagens Berman’s co-founder, Steve Berman, was appointed co-lead counsel in the massive MDL alleging that Toyota vehicles contained a defect causing sudden, unintended acceleration – In re: Toyota Motor Corp. Unintended Acceleration MDL and secured the largest automotive litigation settlement in history, at that time – a $1.6 billion settlement, one that Judge Selna called, “extraordinary because every single dollar in the cash fund will go to claimants.”

This victory spurred the firm to continue to achieve tremendous victories for classes of consumers, going above the mark to ensure that settlements are not only fair and adequate in making plaintiffs whole, but that they are used in the most efficient and advantageous ways to effect change in the auto industry. Since this case, our firm has taken on Volkswagen, Audi, Mercedes, Hyundai/Kia, Fiat Chrysler, Ford and General Motors in cases ranging from overstated MPG ratings to dangerous exploding airbags.

The firm was also named to a leadership position in the class-action lawsuit brought against Volkswagen on behalf of tens of thousands of owners and lessors of Volkswagen, Audi and Porsche diesel vehicles containing VW’s illegal “defeat device” emissions-cheating software, and was the first to file a lawsuit against VW regarding the Dieselgate scandal. Fast on the heels of this litigation, the firm is also spearheading a similar suit against Mercedes, for its deceptive marketing that duped consumers into paying high prices for Mercedes BlueTEC vehicles, which in real world testing pollute at illegally high levels.
