Barun Law LLC is being engaged in litigation for a multiple number of consumers seeking compensation for their damages caused by illegal acts of international car makers. Our attorneys are now representing consumers in the so-called “Diesel Gate” involved by Volkswagen, the BMW 520D fire case and the false advertisements released by Toyota regarding RAV4. Our team is composed of highly experienced lawyers who have dealt with class actions and possess expertise in product liability and disputes over automobile defects.

Our Automobile Team has represented many consumers in lawsuits filed against international car makers. Our attorneys have been praised for their aggressive representation, which has been regarded as one of the factors to leading the revision of laws to protect consumers’ rights. For example, five-fold punitive damages have been newly added to the Automobile Management Act against a car maker’s intentional delay in making a recall. The new rule will be implemented in 2021. Except for class actions against securities related violations, no class actions are not allowed to be filed in the other sectors. However, bills suggesting to extend the range of sectors subject to class actions have been presented consistently before the National Assembly on the basis of cases in which a number of consumers have personally participated in an action. Our Automobile Team will keep actively engaging in efforts to help consumers recover their rights.
