In a more suburban setting, people often think exposure would be obvious—like direct spraying. In College Park, exposure can also be indirect and fragmented across daily life, for example:
- Landscaping and grounds crews treating paths, drainage areas, and fence lines near residences or community buildings
- Seasonal weed control on shared property where multiple households walk, bike, and commute through the same treated areas
- Residue on shoes or clothing brought indoors after mowing, yard work, or maintenance
- Caregivers or household members who handled herbicide products while others were present nearby
Because these scenarios can be easy to overlook, the key question becomes: what exposure happened, when it happened, and how it connects to your medical records? A lawyer’s job is to organize that story into something that can be evaluated fairly.
