Parkinson’s From Paraquat Exposure: Holding Manufacturers Accountable
The Dangers of Paraquat
Holding Manufacturers Accountable
Paraquat manufacturers are well aware of the harmful effects of their product, and the studies which prove them. At the bare minimum, they owe it to those using this chemical to be completely transparent regarding the risks associated with its use. Many workers have expressed that they were completely unaware of the dangers of paraquat prior to use.
It is the manufacturers civil duty to create safe products and methods of use for consumers and those who live in close proximity. Unfortunately for those who have suffered tremendously, manufacturers are most often not being held accountable, and because of this, they feel comfortable carrying on with their malpractices.
While it should be the responsibility of overseeing agencies and lawmakers to enforce safety regulations surrounding these chemicals, those who have fallen victim to their refusal to do so seem to have undertaken that responsibility by default. And that’s where we come in.
Receiving Compensation
As we are dealing with large corporations who have access to deep wells of resources, working closely with an attorney can bring about a successful case, and well-deserved compensation.
If you or a loved one have worked with paraquat, or have lived within close proximity of a farm using it, and developed Parkinson’s disease or other illnesses, you may be entitled to compensation for lost income, medical expenses and the unnecessary pain and suffering you’ve had to endure. We at Christian & Christian are here to support you through the process.
