Since the 1950s, the chemical molecule paraquat dichloride has been used as a herbicide. There is no known cure for paraquat, which may only be consumed directly. Because paraquat poisoning has caused one to two deaths per year, handling it calls for special training.
Even when paraquat is used as instructed, some critics contend that the public is still in danger. Although paraquat use is still permitted in the US by approved users, numerous lawsuits have been brought for the legal options and the claims that have been made.

WHAT IS PARAQUAT?
Parkinson’s disease is allegedly caused by long-term exposure to the common pesticide paraquat which is popularly used and sold in concentrated form and is mixed with water and sprayed on crops. When it comes to eliminating weeds and grasses that are glyphosate-resistant, it has shown to be quite effective. Farmers are at risk in this scenario because they come into contact with the herbicide up close. Additionally used on industrial farms, the poisonous pesticide exposes local residents.
Parkinson’s lawsuit contends that manufacturers neglected to disclose the risk. Farmers, agricultural labourers, and others are being defended by attorneys in lawsuits for damages
There are numerous justifications for bringing a case if you were exposed to paraquat and later got Parkinson’s disease.
A knowledgeable paraquat attorney can assist you in submitting a claim for potential settlement, hold businesses accountable for misconduct, and raise awareness of the risks associated with paraquat.
SHOULD YOU FILE A PARAQUAT CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT?
PARAQUAT LAWSUITS: DO I QUALIFY?
Theoretically, paraquat’s producers and distributors might be sued in the US by anyone who has been exposed to the chemical and experienced health issues. If you have Parkinson’s disease or were directly exposed to paraquat, or if you currently live or previously did so in an agricultural area where it may have been used, you may want to speak with a lawyer to have the merits of your case reviewed.
There is a lot of evidence indicating that even a small amount of the chemical can be hazardous if swallowed, even if there is no evidence at this time to suggest that indirect paraquat exposure increases the risk of Parkinson’s. Don’t think that in order to file a lawsuit, you must be an employee in the agricultural industry or have worked in paraquat manufacturing.
The great majority of claimants in the ongoing paraquat lawsuits are either paraquat users, had direct exposure while working in agriculture, or worked in a facility that produced it. If you belong to one of these categories and have Parkinson’s disease, you already share a lot of similarities with the plaintiffs in these lawsuits.
You’ll ultimately gain additional insight into the strength of your individual case after having it reviewed by a mass torts attorney.
Examining past instances with comparable diseases is another method for estimating the amount. Given the rarity of Parkinson’s cases, it is helpful to compare those with a related disorder called tardive dyskinesia. These instances have resulted in settlements ranging from the hundreds of thousands to the millions. However, none of these have involved many plaintiffs; they have all been single plaintiff instances.
Ultimately, the number of plaintiffs who file a lawsuit and the severity of each plaintiff’s injuries will determine the settlement amount.
