Paraquat has been used in commercial agriculture for decades to kill weeds and other undesirable vegetation. If you or someone you know worked as a farmer, farm worker, herbicide applicator, chemical mixer, pesticide tank filler, agricultural pilot, or if you lived near crops treated with the dangerous herbicide then you may have been exposed to Paraquat. Horticultural pilots, farm workers, herbicide applicators and other individuals who were exposed to Paraquat and diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease may be entitled to significant financial compensation. The paraquat lawsuit lawyers at Farris, Riley & Pitt, LLP will evaluate your case 100% free of charge.
Paraquat And The Link To Parkinson’s Disease
Cases of Parkinson’s Disease are highly elevated in populations of people who were exposed to Paraquat either by proximity to land that was treated with Paraquat or by direct exposure through working with the weedkiller. Parkinson’s disease is connected to Paraquat and other herbicides that are identical to Paraquat, but they may have been sold under names like:
- Blanco
- Bonfire Herbicide
- Devour
- Firestorm
- Gramaxone
- Helmquat
- Para-SHOT
- Parazone
