Beginning in the 1960s, paraquat dichloride, commonly known as paraquat, a highly toxic herbicide, was used to prevent weed growth near commercial crops. Paraquat is not only so lethal that one sip can kill you, but exposure to it has been linked to Parkinson’s disease.
Paraquat poisoning can occur through ingestion, inhalation, and skin contact. The U.S. safeguards against accidental toxicity with blue dye, a chemical agent that induces vomiting upon ingestion, and a pungent odor. Unfortunately, paraquat purchased outside of the U.S. may not have these safeguards in place. In addition, people who work or live near spray areas may be accidentally exposed, and paraquat has been linked to serious long-term health conditions like Parkinson’s disease, muscle system atrophy, and progressive supranuclear palsy.
Paraquat affects individuals who live or work near spray areas.
Paraquat exposure may result in the following side effects:
The risk of paraquat exposure has been known for decades, but companies in the U.S. are increasingly using the herbicide in agricultural practices. The paraquat lawsuits allege that the manufacturers of paraquat failed to warn the public about its link to Parkinson’s disease and other illnesses. The first lawsuits filed against paraquat were against manufacturers Syngenta and Chevron, based on the fact that paraquat had no warnings that exposure could cause neurological symptoms and illness. As of April 2021, federal lawsuits had reached over 20 cases.
The sooner you call, the sooner The Wolf Pack® can get to work seeking justice and compensation for your suffering and losses.
Paraquat is still one of the most commonly used herbicides worldwide. In the U.S., paraquat is only available for use by commercially licensed users, despite its toxicity. Because of this, The Wolf Pack® is helping individuals suffering from Parkinson’s seek justice and compensation for their losses and suffering.
If you’ve been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease as a result of exposure to paraquat, you have rights. Don’t wait to take legal action! Hold the manufacturers responsible for allowing a toxic herbicide on the market.
You may be entitled to compensation for your illness and expenses, including:
Parkinson’s disease is a neurodegenerative disorder in which the nerve cells in the brain don’t produce enough dopamine, a neurotransmitter that’s vital to motor function. Without enough dopamine, patients experience limb stiffness, tremors, and mobility issues. Parkinson’s disease can also have other symptoms, such as sleep disorders, cognitive dysfunction, depression, and constipation. Parkinson’s disease is progressive, so it will get worse over time, and treatment only helps to slow the progression.
Paraquat lawsuits have deadlines to file. When you are part of a mass tort lawsuit like this, in-depth investigations need to be performed. If you’ve been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and believe you qualify for a lawsuit, don’t delay. The sooner you get the process started, the sooner you may be able to get justice for your suffering. Attorney Phil Georges is ready to take your call and fight for your rights. He will ensure you don’t miss any important deadlines and seek the maximum amount of compensation on your behalf.
Though Roundup® has been in the news recently for its part in the cancer diagnosis of hundreds of thousands of consumers, paraquat is not the active ingredient in the arguably equally harmful weed killer.
Paraquat is found in many popular commercial herbicides, such as Para-SHOT, Helmquat, Parazone, Ortho-Paraquat, Devour, Firestorm, and Blanco. Several companies are involved, including Growmark, Syngenta, and Chevron U.S.A., Inc. If you became ill after using Paraquat, contact The Wolf Pack® today to find out if you qualify for a paraquat lawsuit that could grant you significant compensation.
