In our experience, residents contact counsel after one of these locally familiar scenarios:
- Property and lawn maintenance: repeated weed-killer use on residential lots, rentals, or seasonal properties.
- Workplace exposure: groundskeeping, landscaping, municipal/utility maintenance, forestry-related work, or other roles where herbicides may be applied.
- Secondhand exposure: residue carried on work boots, gloves, or clothing—especially when someone else handled application or cleaned up afterward.
- Near-spray contact: exposure after nearby application on adjacent properties, wooded areas, or maintained rights-of-way.
The details matter because liability typically turns on whether the product was used (or present) in a way that could reasonably connect to the illness—not just a general suspicion.
