Paraquat linked to Parkinson's disease
Our law firm is evaluating claims for a Paraquat Lawsuit.
Paraquat is a chemical that is used in many herbicides. The most popular is Gramoxone, but it is also sold under many different names such as Parazone, Para-Shot, Firestorm, Helmquat, and others.
The most vulnerable groups to Paraquat exposure are farmers, horticultural and agricultural workers, as well as nearby residents who are affected by drift exposure.
The herbicide has already been banned in many countries, including China, Brazil, and the EU. Despite this, on October 23, 2020, the EPA refused to ban it in the U.S.
Paraquat Lawsuits are Currently Being Filed
Lawsuits allege that people exposed to Paraquat are approximately 2.5 times, or 250%, more likely to develop Parkinson's disease. And the highest age range of being diagnosed with the disease is >60 years old Americans who have been working on farms or experiencing drift exposure from living near the farm.
Taking legal action does two things: A lawsuit enables individuals to hold large manufacturers accountable for their actions, possibly reducing the risk of others experiencing the same complications. It also helps families and individuals who suffer obtain fair financial compensation to cover the costs associated with the injury.
Paraquat threat explained
Paraquat inhibits photosynthesis, which prevents weeds from growing. Paraquat kills most weeds on contact. However, to humans, Paraquat is extremely toxic, even after it has been diluted. Paraquat usually enters the body via accidental ingestion, inhalation, or damaged skin.
When Paraquat makes contact with the body, the damage is immediate and continuous. It’s not unheard of for farmers and agricultural workers to die after being exposed to this toxic chemical.
