About the Paraquat Herbicide litigation
Paraquat dichloride is a powerful industrial herbicide used on farms across the United States. Because of its extreme toxicity, it is a restricted-use pesticide that may only be applied by licensed applicators — yet farm workers, mixers, tank fillers, and people who lived near sprayed fields have all reported significant exposure.
A growing body of scientific research has associated chronic paraquat exposure with an increased risk of Parkinson's disease, a progressive neurological disorder with no known cure. Lawsuits allege that manufacturers knew or should have known about this risk and failed to warn workers and communities.
If you were exposed to paraquat and later developed Parkinson's disease or Parkinson's-like symptoms, you may be eligible to pursue compensation. Our free case review takes only a few minutes.
