Why Are People Filing Paraquat Lawsuits?
- Link Between Paraquat and Parkinson’s Disease: Paraquat, a restricted-use herbicide sprayed on crops like cotton, soybeans, and vineyards, is linked to an increased risk of Parkinson’s disease, a progressive neurological disorder causing tremors, stiffness, and cognitive decline. Studies show that farmers and agricultural workers exposed to Paraquat are 2–3 times more likely to develop Parkinson’s than the general population.
- Failure to Warn: Lawsuits allege that Syngenta and Chevron (a former U.S. distributor) knew about Paraquat’s neurotoxicity since the 1970s, but did not include warnings about Parkinson’s risk on labels or safety data sheets.
- Severe Health and Financial Impacts: Parkinson’s disease requires lifelong treatment, including medications, therapy, and sometimes surgery, leading to significant medical costs, lost wages, and reduced quality of life. Many plaintiffs are disabled, and families file wrongful death claims for those who died from complications.
Do You Qualify for a Paraquat Legal Claim?
You may be eligible if:
- You received Depo-Provera injections for several months or years.
- You have been diagnosed with a brain tumor (such as meningioma) or suffered other serious health complications after using Depo-Provera.
- Eligibility depends on the case but generally includes:
- If you were an agricultural worker (farmer, applicator, and laborer) and were diagnosed with Parkinson’s after using or being exposed to Paraquat, often over years then you may qualify for a Paraquat claim.
- If you were a resident near agricultural sites and were exposed through drift, runoff, or contaminated water, though occupational exposure, you may qualify for a Paraquat claim.
