Paraquat is a highly toxic herbicide commonly used in commercial farming to control weeds and grasses. It’s been linked to serious health risks, including Parkinson’s disease, when individuals are exposed over time through inhalation, ingestion, or skin contact. Even minimal exposure can be hazardous, and lawsuits allege that manufacturers failed to warn users about these dangers.

People most at risk include farmworkers, pesticide applicators, residents near agricultural areas, and anyone who has handled or been near sprayed fields. If you or a loved one has developed Parkinson’s disease after working with or around Paraquat, you may be entitled to compensation. We can connect you with attorneys who are actively pursuing Paraquat-related claims.

The primary condition linked to Paraquat exposure is Parkinson’s disease, a progressive neurological disorder. Studies have shown that chronic exposure to Paraquat may significantly increase the risk of developing this condition. Other symptoms associated with exposure include tremors, mobility issues, and muscle rigidity. A qualified lawyer can help determine if your illness is linked to Paraquat.
