Have you or your loved one been diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease after being exposed to Paraquat? Patients are already receiving significant financial compensation in a Paraquat Lawsuit.
Paraquat widely used in the Agricultural Industry
The highly toxic chemical-herbicide, Paraquat, is extremely popular in the agriculture industry, used on more than one hundred varieties of crops throughout the United States.

Fighting for Justice for Parkinson’s Patients after Paraquat Exposure
Carlos Lopez, Attorney
Mr. Lopez believes that the most important aspect of becoming a lawyer is having a deep desire to provide justice to those who deserve it.
He noticed the great non-transparency of large chem companies and how those companies are often unfair and unethical. He is, therefore, now devoted to the pursuit of justice for those who have been harmed and who suffer because of this unethical behavior. He is a fierce advocate for victims that suffer because of big chem companies.
His mission is justice for the harmed.
“I will fight for the justice that you deserve to help you support your family for many years to come.”
Rajeev Kumar, MD
Dr. Kumar received his MD from the University of Saskatchewan, trained in neurology at the Mayo Clinic, and received fellowship training with Dr. Anthony Lang at the University of Toronto. Dr. Kumar has extensive experience treating Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, dystonia, and many other movement disorders, and he is a widely published author of these conditions. It is essential to not only treat people with PD but also to disrupt organizations that are causing this currently incurable disease. We must unite to correct the egregious and inhumane practices of corporations, especially in the case of public health issues like this one.
