Expert Paraquat Poisoning Attorneys

If you worked with paraquat or lived near a farm and have developed paraquat Parkinson’s disease, you may be entitled to compensation in the form of lawsuit settlements.

Paraquat has already been banned in many countries, including China, Brazil, and the EU. Despite this, on October 23, 2020, the EPA refused to ban it in the U.S.

Lawsuits are being filed alleging that Syngenta, Chevron, and others involved in the process of manufacturing, marketing, and distributing paraquat are liable for causing or contributing to the development of Parkinson’s disease.

The Hidden Connection Affecting Thousands

Your Story Might Sound Familiar

You worked the fields. You applied pesticides. You lived near farms where paraquat was sprayed. Years later, you developed tremors, stiffness, and difficulty moving. The diagnosis: Parkinson’s disease.

What you didn’t know then was that paraquat – the herbicide used on cotton, soybeans, and corn across Georgia – has been linked to the very disease now affecting your life.

The Scientific Evidence

  • 2024 California Study: People living within 500 meters of paraquat applications had up to twice the risk of developing Parkinson’s disease.
  • Meta-Analysis of 13 Studies: Consistent pattern linking paraquat exposure and Parkinson’s disease spanning 1997–2024.
  • Animal Studies: Paraquat causes the same type of brain damage seen in Parkinson’s patients.

Why You Must Act Now

Georgia’s 2-Year Deadline

Georgia law gives you only 2 years from your Parkinson’s diagnosis to file a lawsuit. Miss this deadline, and you lose your right to seek compensation forever.

The Litigation Is Moving Fast

  • Nearly 6,000 federal cases already filed
  • Over 1,277 cases in Pennsylvania state court
  • First trials scheduled for April 2025
  • Estimated settlements: $20,000 to $1.5 million

While Other Countries Act, EPA Delays

Over 70 countries have already banned paraquat, including the European Union, China, Brazil, and Canada. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was expected to announce a decision by January 2025 — but has delayed action yet again.

More than 50 members of Congress have urged the EPA to ban paraquat, citing that 99% of winter wheat, 98% of corn, and 96% of sorghum crops in the U.S. are already grown without it.

How Paraquat Exposure Occurs

High-Risk Occupations

  • Farmworkers who mixed, loaded, or applied paraquat
  • Agricultural workers on cotton, soybean, corn, and coffee farms
  • Landscapers using paraquat-based herbicides
  • Workers living within 1,640 feet of treated fields

How Paraquat Enters Your Body

  • Inhalation: Breathing paraquat particles or vapors during application
  • Skin Contact: Absorption through contaminated surfaces or spray drift
  • Ingestion: Consuming contaminated food or water
Even minimal exposure can be dangerous — paraquat is extremely toxic to nerve cells.

Common Questions About Paraquat Lawsuits

What evidence do I need for my case?

We need to prove three things: you were exposed to paraquat, this exposure caused your Parkinson’s, and you suffered damages. We’ll help gather employment records, medical records, and expert testimony. You don’t need this evidence before calling.

How long will my case take?

Based on similar cases, expect approximately two years from initial case coordination to final settlement. The first trials in 2025 will influence settlement negotiations.

How much could I receive?

Industry estimates suggest settlements could range from $20,000 to $1.5 million per plaintiff. Your compensation depends on exposure extent, injury severity, lost wages, medical expenses, and pain and suffering.

What if I can’t afford a lawyer?

Paraquat cases are handled on contingency – you pay no attorney fees unless we win. We advance all costs including filing fees and expert witnesses. If we don’t recover compensation, you owe nothing.
