Hagens Berman: Law Firm with Historic Auto Litigation Practice Seeking Recovery for Fisker Owners Abandoned in Automaker’s Bankruptcy

Attorneys attempting to recover losses for certain owners of Fisker Ocean electric vehicles as consumers battle loss of vehicle function and safety issues

An esteemed law firm that’s been part of the largest automotive litigation in history is now seeking to recover losses on behalf of owners of Fisker Ocean electric vehicles amid the automaker’s bankruptcy wreaking havoc on its customers, according to attorneys at Hagens Berman.

The law firm has been retained by more than 800 owners of Fisker Ocean EVs reporting harrowing and frustrating experiences: car doors locking passengers inside the vehicle, software glitches that cause the car to suddenly go into park, hours on hold with service departments with no answer, a bricked $80,000 paperweight with only 2,000 miles on the odometer.

“Henrik Fisker has now bankrupted two companies, and owners of Fisker vehicles who paid upwards of $80,000 are now unjustly paying the consequences of bad business,” said Steve Berman, managing partner of Hagens Berman. “Fisker owners have reached out to our firm reporting serious safety issues, with some left unable to use their vehicles after only having driven 2,000 miles.”

Following Fisker’s bankruptcy filing in June 2024, the company reportedly shirked many of its responsibilities, leaving Fisker Ocean electric vehicles without safety and software maintenance and vehicle servicing and other necessary updates. Consumers also report Fisker fails to respond to phone calls and other communications regarding repairs, active recalls and warranty concerns.

According to Fisker customers, the automaker turned to aggressive pitches to meet sales quotas, offering some buyers low interest rates to move inventory. Many say these offers are what sealed the deal or kept them from cancelling their reserved Ocean EVs.

The Case on Behalf of Fisker Ocean Owners

Attorney Steve Berman says he’s unsurprised to see that Fisker’s bankruptcy filing appears to again leave Fisker owners holding the bags: “Left and right, Fisker customers have been abandoned with empty promises, and it appears that its bankruptcy filing is unsurprisingly staged to leave them high and dry, yet again,” Berman said. “Our legal team is here to see what can be salvaged among this broken trust, and we believe certain Fisker Ocean owners may have rights to recoup some of their tremendous losses.”

Attorneys say Fisker’s bankruptcy filing places the case on the clock, and that if they do not act, they will likely receive nothing.

Berman has been awarded and praised for decades for victories on behalf of consumers, especially in cases involving automakers. He played a key role in the two largest automotive litigation settlements in history. His law firm has secured settlements valued at more than $320 billion. He has also participated in a recent video with YouTube’s Adam’s Everything EV in which he answered questions about the Fisker situation.

The firm is now pursuing the rights of certain Fisker Ocean owners: those who financed their purchase through Fisker Finance or J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, NA. Clients will have no up-front cost in the firm’s no-win-no-fee arrangement.

What Can Fisker Ocean Owners Do Now?

The firm’s seasoned team of attorneys includes forensic accountants and skilled litigators ready to take on and the nation’s largest bank with deeply backed defense firms to pursue Fisker purchasers’ rights.
