    Paraquat Lawsuit

    Paraquat is a toxic herbicide that has been linked to Parkinson’s disease. As a result, numerous lawsuits have been filed against paraquat manufacturers, such as Syngenta and Chevron.

    Individuals exposed to paraquat and subsequently diagnosed with Parkinson’s may be eligible to file a lawsuit against these manufacturers. The basis of the lawsuit would be that the manufacturer knew or should have known about the dangers of paraquat but failed to warn users of the potential risks adequately.

    Some of the damages that could be sought in a paraquat lawsuit include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and potentially punitive damages if it is found that the manufacturer acted in a particularly egregious manner.
