National Legal Help for Cancer, Parkinson’s, and Toxic Exposure Claims

If you or a loved one developed cancer, Parkinson’s disease, or another serious illness after long-term exposure to toxic weed killers or insecticides, you may be eligible to file a pesticide lawsuit.

At Salenger, Sack, Kimmel & Bavaro, LLP, we represent agricultural workers, groundskeepers, maintenance professionals, and families harmed by exposure to dangerous chemical pesticides. We’re currently reviewing cases involving Roundup, Paraquat, Dicamba, and Chlorpyrifos—four of the most controversial and legally challenged products in the U.S.


Do Pesticides Cause Cancer?

Yes. Mounting research shows a clear link between pesticide exposure and an increased risk of multiple cancers, especially for those who work in farming, landscaping, or live near treated areas.

Scientific studies and court evidence now link pesticides to:

  • Non-Hodgkin lymphoma

  • Prostate, lung, and esophageal cancers

  • Leukemia

  • Liver and kidney damage

  • Endocrine and thyroid disorders

The question “do pesticides cause cancer?” has been answered through both research and lawsuits—yes, they can and do, particularly with long-term or occupational exposure.


Major Pesticides Named in Current Litigation

1. Roundup (Glyphosate)

  • Key Health Risk: Non-Hodgkin lymphoma

  • Brand Owner: Monsanto (acquired by Bayer)

  • Legal Status: Billions paid in verdicts and settlements

  • Roundup cancer lawsuits continue to be filed, with new Roundup lawsuit updates emerging as 2025 bellwether trials unfold.

Does Roundup cause cancer? Multiple studies say yes—and juries agree. The Roundup lawsuit MDL is one of the largest in U.S. legal history.

2. Paraquat (Gramoxone, Helmquat, Parazone)

  • Key Health Risk: Parkinson’s disease

  • Legal Status: Restricted in the U.S., banned in over 30 countries

  • Brand Owners: Syngenta, Chevron Chemical

  • Paraquat is a highly toxic herbicide. The Paraquat lawsuit now includes thousands of cases involving agricultural workers and licensed applicators.

The Paraquat cancer lawsuit is distinct from Roundup—while it isn’t primarily linked to cancer, it is strongly associated with neurological diseases, particularly Parkinson’s.

3. Dicamba

  • Key Health Risk: Crop damage, environmental harm

  • Often sprayed in conjunction with glyphosate

  • Farmers have filed lawsuits for crop drift damage, alleging Dicamba destroyed nearby non-resistant crops.

Though not as directly tied to cancer, Dicamba remains a key part of the broader weed killer class action lawsuit landscape.

4. Chlorpyrifos

  • Key Health Risk: Neurological damage in children

  • Linked to: ADHD, obesity, developmental delays

  • Now banned in food crops by the EPA (as of 2022)

If your child was exposed to Chlorpyrifos during pregnancy or early childhood, you may have a claim related to long-term developmental harm.

Who Can File a Pesticide Lawsuit?

You may qualify if you:

  • Worked directly with pesticides like Roundup, Paraquat, or Dicamba

  • Were a licensed pesticide applicator

  • Lived or worked near farms, orchards, or public land treated with pesticides

  • Developed cancer, Parkinson’s disease, or other illness linked to toxic exposure

  • Are a surviving family member of someone who died from a pesticide-related disease

Both occupational and environmental exposure can justify a legal claim. We also represent victims in weed killer class action lawsuits nationwide.


Illnesses Linked to Pesticide Exposure

  • Non-Hodgkin lymphoma

  • Parkinson’s disease

  • Pulmonary fibrosis

  • Kidney and liver disease

  • Endocrine system damage

  • Esophageal, prostate, lung, and colon cancers

  • Birth defects and developmental disorders

  • Neurological impairments (especially in children)

The question does Roundup cause cancer? has been answered in thousands of jury trials and scientific studies. Likewise, Paraquat has been repeatedly linked to the degeneration of dopamine-producing neurons in the brain—an early marker for Parkinson’s.


What Compensation Is Available?

If your pesticide lawsuit is successful, you may recover compensation for:

  • Medical bills (past and future)

  • Lost wages and reduced earning ability

  • Pain and suffering

  • Permanent disability or assisted living costs

  • Wrongful death damages for surviving families

  • Punitive damages in extreme negligence cases

Our firm seeks maximum compensation whether your case qualifies for an individual settlement or is part of a broader weed killer class action lawsuit.


Weed Killer Lawsuit Update (2025)

As of 2025:

  • Bayer has paid over $10 billion in Roundup settlements

  • Several bellwether trials are underway to determine future case values

  • New cases continue to be filed in state and federal courts

  • No formal class action settlement has been approved for new plaintiffs

Our attorneys continue to file Roundup cancer lawsuits on behalf of farmworkers, landscapers, and individuals who developed non-Hodgkin lymphoma after repeated glyphosate exposure.

  2. Get a formal diagnosis from your physician or specialist

  3. Retain employment records, pesticide licenses, or photos of product usage

  4. Contact an experienced pesticide attorney immediately

Each state has a statute of limitations. Don’t wait until your right to sue expires.
