Five easy steps to secure your settlement claim
The Michael J. Fox Foundation (MJFF) is pushing for the support of legislation to ban harmful pesticides and herbicides, including paraquat. If passed, the bill named “Protect America’s Children from Toxic Pesticides Act of 2020 (PACTA)” would be the first comprehensive update to pesticide-use law in decades. It would prohibit the use of paraquat, which experts estimate raises the risk of Parkinson’s by 320%.
If this bill passes, it will help plaintiffs advance their lawsuits against the makers of Paraquat to prevent harmful side effects like these.
Symptoms can occur several days to weeks later. If a person survives the side effects of ingesting paraquat, long-term lung damage and scarring are very likely. Someone who swallows a substantial amount of paraquat is not likely to survive.
Also, as these lawsuits demonstrate, paraquat exposure can lead to the development of Parkinson’s disease.
Companies produced paraquat for the first time in 1961 for commercial purposes. Paraquat was at the center of public health concerns in the 1970s. With financial help from the U.S. government, drug enforcement authorities in Mexico sprayed many pounds of paraquat on marijuana that later came into the U.S. In the 1980s, Japan reported some suicide and murder scares that involved paraquat.
The following list includes paraquat manufacturers and products on the market:
While the exact amount of compensation can vary from case to case, there are several types of damages that may be available for those affected. Understanding these potential damages can help individuals assess the value of their claim and guide them in seeking justice and financial compensation.
1. Medical Expenses: Individuals who have been hospitalized as a result of exposure to Paraquat may be entitled to compensation for their medical expenses. This can include costs associated with hospital stays, surgeries, doctor visits, medications, rehabilitation, and any necessary ongoing treatment.
2. Lost Wages: If individuals have had to take time off work due to the side effects of Paraquat, they may be eligible to recover lost wages. This can include not only their base pay but also any bonuses, promotions, or raises they missed out on while being unable to work.
3. Lost Earning Potential: In cases where the long-term effects of Paraquat have left individuals with a disabling condition that prevents them from returning to work or impacts their ability to earn a livelihood, they may be entitled to compensation for their lost earning potential. This seeks to secure future income that may have been compromised due to the medication’s adverse effects.
4. Pain and Suffering: Paraquat lawsuit plaintiffs may also seek compensation for the emotional and mental distress caused by the painful side effects they have endured. These non-economic damages aim to address the intangible and long-lasting impact on the individual’s quality of life.
5. Punitive Damages: In some cases, individuals may be eligible to claim punitive damages. These damages go beyond compensating for actual losses and are intended to punish the defendant for their misconduct and deter similar behavior in the future.
It’s important to note that the specific compensation available in this lawsuit can vary depending on the severity of the injuries, the impact on the individual’s life, and other factors. The value of these damages will be determined by the court based on the evidence and arguments presented during the legal proceedings.
Simply using Roundup or another of the Paraquat products isn’t enough to file a claim. You’ll need to have suffered an injury. In most Paraquat cases, that’s a diagnosis for Parkinson’s or pre-Parkinson disease. The cancer diagnosis will need to be linked to exposure to Paraquat.
