Understanding the Chlorpyrifos Lawsuit
Originally developed to control insects, Chlorpyrifos is an organophosphate pesticide. For years, this drug was used on crops across the United States, and recent scientific studies have raised concerns about the potential impact of this drug on the human nervous system. The growing evidence links the negative impact of the pesticide, particularly among developing children and those who have been exposed to Chlorpyrifos for an extended period.
Under the Chlorpyrifos lawsuit, victims across the US have been accusing the manufacturers of not providing adequate information about the pesticide. Since the drug is also being linked to severe neurological diseases such as Parkinson’s, victims demand compensation against the harm caused to children before birth or during the developmental stages.

Who is eligible to file the Chlorpyrifos Lawsuit
You may have been exposed to Chlorpyrifos either through agricultural or manufacturing work or while living near the pesticide-treated fields. If this caused any neurological disorder for you, you might be eligible for compensation.
If you were exposed to Chlorpyrifos during pregnancy and your child was later diagnosed with cognitive and developmental disabilities, you might be eligible for compensation then too. In many cases, exposure to the pesticide furan in the early stages of childhood leads to a diagnosis of neurological disorders like Parkinson's in the later stages of life. In this condition, too, one may be eligible to file the lawsuit.
