Were You Diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease After Exposure to Paraquat?
Over 5,000 lawsuits have been filed against manufacturers of paraquat, a toxic herbicide linked to Parkinson's disease. Paraquat is banned in 67 countries[1] but still widely used in U.S. agriculture.
If you regularly used or were exposed to paraquat and were later diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, you may be entitled to significant compensation.

Paraquat dichloride (commonly known as paraquat) is a highly toxic herbicide used to control weeds and grasses in agriculture. It's so poisonous that a single sip can be fatal, yet it remains one of the most widely used herbicides in the United States.
While 67 countries—including the European Union, China, and the United Kingdom—have banned paraquat due to health concerns, it's still legal in the U.S. Major manufacturers include Syngenta (Gramoxone), Chevron, and others.
Numerous scientific studies have found that paraquat exposure significantly increases the risk of developing Parkinson's disease. Research shows exposed individuals have 2.5 to 3 times higher risk of Parkinson's compared to those not exposed[2].
Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurological disorder that affects movement. It occurs when nerve cells in the brain that produce dopamine become damaged or die.
Parkinson's is a chronic, progressive disease with no cure. Treatment focuses on managing symptoms, but quality of life typically declines over time.
Thousands of paraquat lawsuits have been filed against Syngenta, Chevron, and other manufacturers. Cases are consolidated in federal Multi-District Litigation (MDL 3004) in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Illinois.

Farmers and agricultural workers feed our nation. They deserve to work without being exposed to chemicals that cause devastating neurological diseases. While paraquat is banned in dozens of countries, it remains legal in the U.S.—putting American workers at unnecessary risk.
Manufacturers have known about paraquat's link to Parkinson's for years. Legal action holds them accountable for continuing to profit from a product that destroys lives.
By taking legal action, you help build the case for a U.S. ban on paraquat, protecting future generations of agricultural workers from this toxic chemical.
If you developed Parkinson's disease after paraquat exposure, you deserve justice and compensation. Don't let manufacturers who prioritized profits over safety escape responsibility.
