Weed Killer Lawsuit Attorney

Is weed killer poisonous to humans? The toxic chemicals in some pesticides have been linked to Parkinson’s disease, cancer and other serious injuries.

Weed killers containing dangerous chemicals are used extensively throughout the United States, including Texas. They are used at farms and ranches and in other commercial operations. They may be sprayed at parks, schools, and other public places to eradicate grasses and weeds. Weed killers containing hazardous ingredients are also used by people in their yards and gardens. Exposure to the toxic ingredients in weed killers can cause severe and potentially fatal illnesses and poisoning injuries.

Some commonly used weed killers have been linked to Parkinson’s disease, cancer, organ damage, and other serious illnesses and injuries. When these toxins come in contact with the skin, eyes, or mucous membranes, are breathed in through the nose or mouth, or are accidentally swallowed, people get hurt. But that hasn’t stopped the profit-driven corporations that make these dangerous products from continuing to produce, market, and sell them, putting profits over people’s welfare.

Can You Get Sick from Inhaling Weed Killer?

Is it bad to breathe in weed killer? The answer to this question is “yes.” Inhaling the spray mist from weed killer can cause burning in the nose, sinuses, throat, and chest. Depending on the type and toxicity of the weed killer, you could experience headache, vomiting, nausea, and even permanent lung damage. Over time, breathing in weed killers or otherwise being exposed to them can cause serious illnesses and damage to the body.

Does Weed Killer Cause Parkinson’s?

There are several weed killers commonly referred to as paraquat that have been strongly linked to Parkinson’s disease. Paraquat is so toxic that it requires special training and licensing to use. It is only available for agricultural and other commercial use by workers and can’t be purchased by the general public. While at least 32 countries have banned paraquat because of its dangers, including China, the United States has not.

The most popular brand of weed killer used in this country that contains paraquat is Gramoxone®, made by Syngenta. But there are dozens of other weed killer brands that also contain it. They are all potentially hazardous.

Which Pesticides Cause Parkinson’s Disease?

Paraquat is the most well-known weed killer pesticide that is thought to cause Parkinson’s. There are other types of pesticides thought to increase Parkinson’s risk as well. According to the American Parkinson Disease Association, paraquat and the crop insecticide rotenone have the most convincing data connecting them to an increased risk of Parkinson’s disease. The organization warns that people should consider limiting exposure to these chemicals. We agree with that warning.

How Are Pesticides Correlated To Parkinson’s Disease?

Agricultural workers who have been exposed to paraquat have a higher incidence of Parkinson’s than other people. Numerous studies have been performed that connect paraquat to Parkinson’s. Studies on mice have shown that the toxic pesticide kills off dopamine-producing neurons, or nerve cells, in the brain and nervous system. In humans, when these neurons die, Parkinson’s develops.

Paraquat and Parkinson’s Disease Lawsuits

Lawsuits are being filed throughout the country due to the connection between paraquat and Parkinson’s disease. If you’ve been diagnosed with Parkinson’s after exposure to paraquat, the accident and injury law office of Terry Bryant can advise you of your legal options for possible compensation.

Does Weed Killer Cause Cancer?

Some weed killers have been linked to cancer. One of the most well-known is the brand Roundup®, which is available off the shelf to consumers. This weed killer contains the active ingredient glyphosate, which is thought to cause non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, a type of cancer that starts in the body’s germ-fighting system. It also contains a surfactant called polyoxyethylene amine, or POEA, that is carcinogenic. If you or a loved one has been affected by the potential health risks associated with Roundup, it may be advisable to consult with a Roundup lawyer for legal guidance and support. The Roundup weed killer has also been linked to additional types of cancer, including brain cancer, liver cancer, and leukemia.

Roundup has been the subject of thousands of lawsuits. The three suits that went to trial resulted in jury awards of $289 million, $80 million, and $2 billion. Since that time, Bayer, the maker of Roundup, reached a multibillion-dollar settlement to resolve thousands of outstanding claims.

Other weed killer brands that contain glyphosate and could potentially cause illness are Bronco®, KleenUp®, Rodeo®, and Glyphosate Plus®, to name a few.

Does Roundup Cause Parkinson’s Disease?

No—Roundup is not thought to cause Parkinson’s disease. Roundup doesn’t contain paraquat, which is the weed killer chemical most often linked to Parkinson’s.

Whether you have been exposed to paraquat and are suffering possible Parkinson’s disease, have cancer due to a weed killer or have sustained poisoning or other injuries from weed killer exposure, our attorneys may be able to help you get compensation. Compensation can help you pay for doctor bills and other damages due to toxic weed killer products.

Damages in Weed Killer Lawsuits

Depending on the severity of illnesses or injuries, damages in weed killer lawsuits could include:

• Reimbursement for current and future medical care. This could include doctor visits, hospital costs, medical treatment, drug costs, nursing care, physical therapy, rehabilitation, and treatment for other short- and long-term needs.
• Lost wages
• Compensation for loss of earning capacity if you can’t work any longer
• Damages for physical pain and the emotional trauma your illness has caused.

If gross negligence can be proven against the weed killer manufacturer, you may also be entitled to punitive damages. Punitive damages are meant to punish companies when they are especially negligent in developing, distributing, marketing, or selling dangerous products.
