Many people don’t realize a potential exposure until after a diagnosis. In Southlake and the surrounding North Texas area, common scenarios include:
- Residential lawn and garden use (mixing, spraying, or applying weed killer on weekends and weekdays)
- Landscaping and property maintenance—including contractors who apply herbicides and employees who work near treated areas
- Secondhand exposure from residue brought on work boots, clothing, tools, or equipment stored in garages or sheds
- Exposure while commuting or visiting—time spent near commercial properties where weed control is routinely maintained
The key is that the law typically looks for a credible story of how exposure occurred, when it occurred, and how it aligns with your medical records.
