Syngenta and Chevron knew Paraquat caused Parkinson's disease — and hid it for decades.

Internal documents reveal that manufacturers were aware of the link between Paraquat exposure and Parkinson's disease as early as the 1980s. Despite this knowledge, they continued marketing the herbicide without adequate warnings, leaving thousands of agricultural workers at risk.

What Is the Paraquat Lawsuit?

The Paraquat lawsuit involves legal claims filed by individuals who were exposed to the herbicide Paraquat and subsequently developed Parkinson's disease. Paraquat (paraquat dichloride) is one of the most widely used herbicides in the United States, primarily in agriculture, but it is also one of the most acutely toxic pesticides available.

Cases are consolidated in a federal Multi-District Litigation (MDL) in the Southern District of Illinois. Plaintiffs allege that manufacturers Syngenta AG and Chevron Phillips Chemical Company knew about the link between Paraquat exposure and Parkinson's disease but failed to warn users and the public.

Who Can File a Paraquat Lawsuit?

You may be eligible to file a Paraquat lawsuit if you or a loved one was exposed to Paraquat — through direct application, living near farms where it was used, or occupational contact — and was subsequently diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.

Paraquat Lawsuit Timeline & Settlements

The Paraquat MDL has grown significantly, with thousands of cases consolidated in the Southern District of Illinois. Bellwether trials are being prepared to establish settlement benchmarks. Given the scale of the litigation and the severity of Parkinson's disease, settlements are expected to be substantial.

Settlement amounts depend on factors including duration and intensity of Paraquat exposure, severity and progression of Parkinson's disease, medical expenses, lost income, and quality of life impact. Victims with advanced Parkinson's or long-term exposure histories may qualify for higher compensation.
