Who can make a Parkinson's claim or file a paraquat lawsuit against Syngenta?

Who is most at risk for developing Parkinson's disease from paraquat exposure?

The persons most at risk for developing Parkinson's disease are those who have been in direct contact with paraquat, those who have been exposed to paraquat over a long period of time, and those who live in areas where paraquat is used. Research also shows that some people are genetically more at risk for paraquat Parkinson's than others; particular genetic traits can increase the risk of developing Parkinson's to eleven-fold. Any person who has been in proximity of paraquat may be at risk for developing Parkinson's disease.

Aren't most products liability lawsuits just class action lawsuits where the plaintiff can expect only a small, symbolic settlement?

National paraquat lawsuit claims are likely to be consolidated as MDL, or Multi-District Litigation, where each plaintiff receives a settlement based upon the individual injuries and damages incurred by each plaintiff. This process increases the efficiency of processing vast numbers of cases against a corporation, all related to one dangerous substance.

We're not the type of people who sue; do we really need to file a lawsuit?

If a member of your family suffered a serious injury or health problem as a result of a defective product or dangerous drug, long-term, or even life-long, medical care may be required. This could be incredibly expensive and since medical costs are continually rising may be largely unknown at the time of settlement or trial. If a member of your family died due to a defective product or dangerous drug, no amount of money can undo that wrong. It is our fervent hope that every defective products, drug or other medication lawsuit we file can serve to make the manufacturer take note of the loss and pain its product has caused. When that fails to make a company take action in the form of a product recall, greater warnings about its use and ultimately making safer products, we rely on their profit motivation to make them do the right thing. Unfortunately, in all too many cases it is only the fear of lawsuits and large settlements and verdicts that makes a company become a better corporate citizen.
