Paraquat Parkinson’s Attorney in Yuma, Arizona

Yuma County is one of the most agriculturally productive counties in the United States, with year-round farming operations producing lettuce, citrus, dates, and other crops. Paraquat has been used extensively as a pre-plant burndown herbicide to clear fields between crop rotations. The desert heat amplifies dermal absorption risk for farmworkers. Yuma's large seasonal agricultural workforce — many of whom cross from Mexico daily — face chronic paraquat exposure during field preparation. Arizona's 2-year statute of limitations under A.R.S. § 12-542 requires prompt action upon Parkinson's diagnosis.
