Paraquat Parkinson’s Attorney in Hartford, Connecticut

Hartford and the Connecticut River Valley have a historic tobacco farming tradition, with shade-grown wrapper and broadleaf binder tobacco operations that used paraquat for weed control and field management. While Connecticut tobacco acreage has declined, farmworkers who applied paraquat during the peak production decades face Parkinson's risk from their cumulative exposure. Connecticut's nursery industry — one of the largest in the Northeast — also applied paraquat for vegetation management. The state's 3-year statute of limitations under Conn. Gen. Stat. § 52-577 with the discovery rule provides a reasonable filing window through MDL 3004.
