Liability Overview
Liability Considerations in Providence
Rhode Island's 10-year statute of limitations under R.I. Gen. Laws § 9-1-13 is the most favorable product liability limitations period in the nation for paraquat Parkinson's claimants. This extended window is particularly valuable for individuals whose Parkinson's disease develops many years after their occupational paraquat exposure in agricultural settings. Providence-area residents who worked in farming in other states before relocating to Rhode Island benefit from this generous limitations period. All paraquat claims proceed through MDL 3004 in the Southern District of Illinois.
