By now, it is a known fact that exposure to paraquat can result in Parkinson's disease over the years.
If you were exposed to this herbicide and came to struggle with this brain disorder, you may be eligible for recovering financial compensation from the liable herbicide manufacturers.
The first step of the process is assessing your eligibility. Because people who have Parkinson's have a difficult time explaining their situation, the involvement of a family member is crucial.
They will be able to provide the team of experts at Atraxia Law with the necessary information. First, we need to know some key aspects, such as:

If your family member is eligible for filing a paraquat claim, we will subsequently guide you to a lawyer whose main area of practice is toxic exposure so that you can recover the money your family member deserves for their suffering.
One of the crucial aspects you need to keep in mind when filing a paraquat claim is the statute of limitations. It concerns the time frame in which you can file a paraquat claim and, if it is exceeded, your family member will no longer qualify for compensation. The statute of limitations depends on your state of residence, with the majority of states having a statute of limitations of 2 or 3 years from the moment of diagnosis.

The sooner you reach out to the team of professionals at Atraxia Law, the more time we will have to evaluate your situation.

You will receive compensation within 3 months to one year following the claim submission, which can range between $10,000 and $200,000, depending on how much distress Parkinson's disease is causing your family member, whether they need the assistance of another person to perform everyday tasks, and the medical expenses incurred by their diagnosis.
For the last 35 years, we have been evaluating personal injury and product liability claims, and our team of professionals will go to great lengths to help determine whether you are eligible for filing a paraquat claim.
