Paraquat is a restricted-use herbicide primarily applied by licensed professionals to control weeds in agricultural fields. Unfortunately, numerous studies have linked Paraquat exposure to the development of Parkinson’s disease, a progressive neurological disorder that severely impacts quality of life.
Manufacturers such as Syngenta and Chevron are facing thousands of lawsuits alleging they failed to adequately warn about the neurological dangers of Paraquat despite being aware of the risks.
Our team is committed to seeking justice for farmworkers, agricultural laborers, and others exposed to Paraquat who have developed Parkinson’s or Parkinsonism symptoms.

As of March 2025, the Paraquat multidistrict litigation (MDL No. 3004) in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Illinois has surpassed 5,200 pending lawsuits. These cases allege that manufacturers failed to warn users about the risks of developing Parkinson’s disease from Paraquat exposure.
Judge Nancy Rosenstengel scheduled the first bellwether trials in the Paraquat MDL for late 2025. These early test trials will involve plaintiffs who were heavily exposed to Paraquat and later developed Parkinson’s disease. The trial outcomes are expected to influence potential settlement negotiations.
In September 2024, parties in the Paraquat litigation began preliminary settlement talks. While no national settlement has been finalized, negotiations indicate that manufacturers like Syngenta and Chevron are considering payouts to resolve Parkinson’s disease claims linked to Paraquat.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced it would reconsider its prior approval of Paraquat use following growing scientific evidence linking it to Parkinson’s disease. Regulatory actions may strengthen future Paraquat lawsuits by reinforcing claims of toxicity and insufficient warnings.
In April 2021, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (JPML) centralized all Paraquat lawsuits into a single MDL to promote efficiency and consistency in handling claims that Paraquat exposure causes Parkinson’s disease.
