- Parkinson's disease diagnosis confirmed by a treating neurologist or movement disorder specialist.
- Diagnosis timeline captured — Parkinson's developed after the period of Paraquat exposure.
- Not currently represented — confirmed before the lead leaves our system.
- SOL analyzed under the discovery rule per diagnosis state.
- Syngenta and Chevron identified as the primary defendants.
The Market
The Paraquat market
Paraquat is a highly toxic herbicide used on farms and other agricultural settings, primarily to control weeds. Scientific research has linked occupational Paraquat exposure to an increased risk of Parkinson's disease. The consolidated litigation (MDL 3004) in the Southern District of Illinois includes claims from agricultural workers, pesticide applicators, and farm hands who developed Parkinson's after years of occupational Paraquat exposure.
The defendants are Syngenta (which manufactured Paraquat under the Gramoxone brand) and Chevron (which distributed Paraquat in the U.S.). The MDL has been progressing through bellwether selection and pre-trial proceedings. Volume has moderated from the docket's peak but new claims continue to be filed as agricultural workers receive Parkinson's diagnoses.
Why Paraquat leads need specialist qualification: exposure must be occupational (mixing, loading, or applying the herbicide) and over years, not incidental. And the diagnosis must specifically be Parkinson's disease, not other movement disorders.

Delivery Standards
How every lead arrives and what stands behind it
Every lead passes through four verification steps before delivery. Targeted acquisition drives intake traffic only from people who match your stated criteria. The form pre-screen documents SOL, liability, injury severity, and representation status. OTP phone verification confirms the number is real, active, and in possession of the claimant — not Google Voice, not a disconnected line, not a wrong number. Exclusive delivery places the lead into your CRM inside 15 seconds, locked to your firm ID with a permanent delivery timestamp.
Exclusivity is contractual, not verbal. Your client agreement contains a binding exclusivity term — every lead is sold to exactly one firm and there is no operational path for us to re-deliver it. TrustedForm certificates and Jornaya lead IDs travel with every lead as an independent consent audit trail, timestamped outside our own delivery system. The 48-hour credit exchange is written into your agreement as a contract term, not a return policy: expired SOL at delivery, liability that clearly does not hold based on pre-screen facts, case type mismatch, or represented-at-delivery all qualify without additional documentation. Your intake team’s assessment is sufficient.
Coverage runs in 38 states. Pricing is per qualified lead — no retainer, no setup fee, no monthly commitment. Volume can be paused or reduced with 30 days notice without penalty. Auto-connect puts your intake team on the phone with the claimant within 60 seconds of delivery, which is the single largest lever on contact-to-signed-retainer conversion in every vendor benchmark we have run. Firms routinely report 18–23% close rates on identical leads simply by moving first-call contact from 5 minutes to 60 seconds.
