How Your Illegal Immigration Status is Protected When Filing a Los Angeles Roundup Lawsuit

For years, farmworkers, landscapers, and groundskeepers across California have used the herbicide Roundup, trusting it was safe. Now, many of these same hardworking individuals are facing a devastating diagnosis of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, an aggressive cancer linked to glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup. While thousands have sought justice by filing lawsuits against the manufacturer, Bayer, there is a community of victims who remain in the shadows, suffering in silence. These are the undocumented workers who fear that coming forward will put them at risk of deportation.

This fear is understandable, but it is based on a critical misunderstanding of your rights. In the United States, the right to seek justice in a court of law is not limited by your immigration status. You do not have to be a citizen to hold a powerful corporation accountable for the harm its products have caused you. At Walch Law, we are committed to defending the rights of all victims of negligence. This guide will explain how the legal system protects your privacy and how we can help you file a Roundup lawsuit safely and confidentially.

Can You File a Los Angels Paraquat Lawsuit If You Were Employed by a Company Using It?

For decades, thousands of agricultural workers, groundskeepers, and licensed applicators have relied on their jobs to support their families. Unfortunately, many of those same jobs required the regular use of Paraquat, a potent herbicide now strongly linked to Parkinson’s disease. If you are one of these workers and have been diagnosed with this debilitating condition, you are likely facing a storm of questions. One of the most common and pressing worries is: “Did I sign away my rights just by doing my job?” or “Can I even sue if my employer was the one who told me to use it?”

The short answer is: Yes, you likely still have a case.

California: Signs of Parkinson’s Disease from Paraquat Exposure

For decades, agricultural workers, farmers, and landscapers have used the powerful herbicide Paraquat to control weeds and clear fields. It is known for its effectiveness, but also for its extreme toxicity. A growing body of scientific evidence now reveals a terrifying long-term consequence of working with or near this chemical: a significantly increased risk of developing Parkinson’s disease. For many who have spent their lives working the land, the subtle onset of a tremor or a change in their walk can now bring a new wave of fear.

At Walch Law, we have seen the devastating impact a Parkinson’s diagnosis has on individuals and their families. When that diagnosis is linked to a toxic chemical that you were told was safe to use, it adds a layer of injustice to the struggle. Understanding the early signs of Parkinson’s is the first step toward getting the medical care you need and exploring your legal rights.

Latest Updates on Child Video Game Addiction Lawsuits

Video games have become a central part of childhood for millions of kids across the globe. While many see gaming as a harmless hobby, a growing number of parents are witnessing a much darker side. They watch as their children become withdrawn, anxious, and obsessed, suffering from what many experts now recognize as “gaming disorder” or video game addiction. These games, with their sophisticated reward systems and endless engagement loops, are designed to be compelling, but many parents and legal experts argue that they cross a line into being dangerously addictive.

Now, a new wave of lawsuits is taking aim at the multi-billion-dollar gaming industry, accusing companies like Epic Games (Fortnite), Activision Blizzard (Call of Duty), and Microsoft (Minecraft) of intentionally designing their products to hook children. These lawsuits claim that gaming companies have prioritized profits over the well-being of their youngest users, leading to severe psychological harm, developmental issues, and significant financial costs for families. At Walch Law, we are closely monitoring these developments and are committed to helping families understand their legal rights. .

How to Prove Your Parkinson’s Disease is Linked to Paraquat Exposure
