Paraquat
Litigation linking prolonged Paraquat herbicide exposure to Parkinson’s disease.
Overview
Understanding Paraquat cases
Paraquat is an industrial herbicide so toxic that dozens of countries have banned it — yet it remains in use on American farms. Lawsuits allege that prolonged exposure to Paraquat is associated with the development of Parkinson’s disease, and that its makers failed to warn the people who worked with and around it.
The people most affected are the people who fed the country: farmers, agricultural workers, licensed applicators, and those who lived near sprayed fields — often exposed season after season for years.
Parkinson’s takes independence slowly and relentlessly. If you were exposed to Paraquat over time and later diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, we can review your history and give you a straight answer about your options.
