Paraquat

Paraquat is a highly toxic herbicidal compound commonly used in the agricultural industry. In recent years, paraquat exposure has been linked to Parkinson’s Disease — a devastating neurological condition that wreaks havoc on the motor skills of those diagnosed. 

Because paraquat is so hazardous to mammals and specifically humans, its use is highly restricted in the U.S., and it is the subject of an international banning campaign. According to the Centers for Disease Control, ingesting even small amounts of paraquat can lead to organ failure and death up to 30 days after exposure. 

If you or a loved one have been diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease and have a history of paraquat exposure, our experienced attorneys will fight on your behalf for the significant financial compensation owed to you and your family.
