Volkswagen Diesel Emissions (Dieselgate) (DE): Settlement Amounts
closedReported amounts & case results
U.S.: $14.7 billion settlement (per VW/EPA, 2016; final approval per Consumer Reports, 2017). Germany: program up to about $1.3 billion (per reporting, 2019). Claims closed; no new payout is available or promised.
Reported amounts are what sources say — not a promise. Individual results depend on injuries, jurisdiction, and the stage of the case. This is not legal advice.
What affects case value
- Injury severity — the single largest driver across mass torts.
- Jurisdiction — national/state/provincial law (e.g., discovery rules, statute of limitations) can change outcomes.
- Case stage — early filings and post-bellwether values differ.
- Documentation — medical records and the exposure timeline.
