In Auburn and surrounding DeKalb County areas, herbicide exposure often comes from routine work and seasonal chores—not always from a one-time accident. Common scenarios we hear about include:
- Landscaping, groundskeeping, and facility maintenance where weed control is part of the job description.
- Mowing or trimming after treatment, especially when treated vegetation dries and residue remains on equipment.
- Community and property maintenance for apartments, commercial lots, and outdoor facilities.
- Secondhand exposure when work clothes are stored or laundered at home.
Because these situations can unfold over months (or years), the legal review usually focuses on a clear exposure timeline—when the spraying occurred, how it was done, and how you were around it.
