What Is Paraquat?

Paraquat is a herbicide used as a weed killer and other leafy green plants. It initially gained popularity in the mid-20th century and has since been used around the country and world by landscapers, agricultural workers, farmers, gardeners, and others who work in landscape or agriculture. Common names that paraquat is marketed under include Firestorm, Gramoxone, Helmquat, and Parazone.

This herbicide has been banned by more than 30 countries, but in the United States it is still available to those who have a certification to use it.

How Can You Be Exposed To Paraquat?

Even if you or your loved one have not used paraquat directly, exposure is still very possible. The following are several ways in which a person can be exposed to this toxic herbicide:


  • Through ingestion
  • Skin exposure
  • Inhaling the chemical
  • Accidental contamination of beverages or food
  • Touching plants that have been sprayed with paraquat

People who are in direct contact with paraquat are at a higher risk of harm from this chemical. Additionally individuals living in rural areas have a higher chance of exposure and subsequent health consequences.

Are You Eligible To File A Paraquat Claim?

If you or a loved one has been diagnosed after use or exposure of paraquat, you may be eligible to file a paraquat lawsuit and receive a settlement to compensate you for your losses and personal injuries and illness. The following are the most important criteria that must be met when filing a paraquat lawsuit:

Proof of exposure to paraquat
Proof of working on a farm or other agricultural environment that used paraquat
Proof of exposure through other means, such as a tank filler, living in a rural or farming community, or direct application of paraquat
Proof of a medical diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease that occurred after exposure to paraquat

It’s important to maintain all documentation related to your paraquat exposure as well as any medical diagnoses that came subsequently to this exposure. This documentation can support your claim and strengthen your case in court.
