In Denver and the surrounding Front Range, exposure often shows up in familiar, real-world ways:
- Landscaping and groundskeeping at multi-unit properties (apartments, HOAs, and mixed-use buildings) where herbicides are applied seasonally.
- Neighborhood spraying near walking paths and community areas—including parks and trails—where residents may notice odors, overspray, or treated vegetation.
- Home use during dry-season maintenance, including mowing or edging after treatment.
- Worksite exposure for people employed in landscaping, facility maintenance, utility right-of-way work, or other outdoor roles.
- Secondhand exposure where family members come into contact with residue on work clothes, boots, or tools.
To sort out what matters legally, we focus on the practical timeline: when you were exposed, how you were exposed, where it happened, and how quickly medical issues appeared.
