Who Can Sue and What They Allege
Plaintiffs in these cases are typically people who were exposed to Paraquat (often in farming or spraying) and later developed Parkinson’s or other conditions. The suits usually claim that manufacturers knew or should have known about the risk and failed to warn. Claims are brought under product-liability and failure-to-warn theories; some states also allow negligence or strict liability.
Defendants and Courts
Cases name the companies that make or sell Paraquat-containing products. Many federal cases have been consolidated in multidistrict litigation (MDL). State-court cases are filed separately. A lawyer can tell you where your case would be filed and what to expect.
Next Steps
If you were exposed and have a Parkinson’s diagnosis (or another condition your doctor links to exposure), a free case review can clarify whether you may qualify and how to proceed. Time limits to file vary by state. More: Paraquat lawsuit information, who qualifies for the Paraquat lawsuit.
