Liability Overview

Liability Considerations in Sikeston

Sikeston and the Missouri Bootheel form one of the state's most intensive paraquat-use regions. Cotton, rice, and soybean operations in Scott, New Madrid, Pemiscot, and Dunklin counties have applied paraquat as a standard crop management tool for over 40 years. Farmworkers, applicators, and crop dusters in the Bootheel corridor have significant occupational exposure histories. Missouri's 5-year statute of limitations under Mo. Rev. Stat. § 516.120 is among the most favorable nationally, giving claimants an extended period to file after discovering the paraquat-Parkinson's connection.
