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

A Parkinson’s disease diagnosis is a life-altering event that brings uncertainty, fear, and a host of questions. For many agricultural workers, landscapers, and rural residents, one of those questions is whether their illness is connected to long-term exposure to Paraquat, a highly toxic herbicide. A growing body of scientific research has linked this chemical to a significantly increased risk of developing Parkinson’s, leading thousands of victims to seek justice through the legal system.

However, filing a lawsuit is just the first step. To win your case, you must be able to prove that it is more likely than not that your exposure to Paraquat was a substantial factor in causing your Parkinson’s disease. This is a complex legal and scientific challenge. At Walch Law, we specialize in helping toxic exposure victims build the powerful, evidence-based cases needed to hold manufacturers accountable.

What Is Included in Pain and Suffering Compensation for a Roundup Lawsuit?

A diagnosis of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma after years of using Roundup is a life-shattering event. The focus immediately shifts to medical treatments, doctor appointments, and the immense financial strain of fighting cancer. These economic costs—the medical bills and lost wages—are tangible and relatively easy to calculate. But the true toll of a cancer diagnosis goes far beyond what can be tallied on a spreadsheet. It includes the physical agony of treatment, the fear and anxiety about the future, and the loss of life’s simple joys. This is the “pain and suffering” component of a legal claim, and in a Roundup lawsuit, it is often the most significant part of the compensation a victim receives.

At Walch Law, we understand that no amount of money can erase the trauma of a cancer diagnosis. However, securing fair compensation for your pain and suffering is a critical part of holding a company like Bayer accountable for the devastation its product has allegedly caused.
