REMOTE WORKER WAGE CLAIMS
State law requires employers to pay for all of the time workers spend logged-in or at the jobsite and imposes stiff penalties on employers who stiff their employees.
We represent workers who are not paid for all the time they spent logged-in seeking to recover lost wages and penalties from their employers at no cost to the worker.
We are currently investigating several employers' telework policies to determine if a federal lawsuit should be filed to recover unpaid wages on behalf of remote workers. The lawsuit will call specific attention to Companies' policies that take advantage of remote workers by requiring them to start work early by booting-up a computer, passing through multiple login screens and security checks, loading numerous software packages and finally clocking-in. Remote workers are often required to be ready to meet the demands of work precisely on time. However, the time spent preparing programs, logging in, and the like often go unpaid.
If you have worked for a company during the last four years that failed to pay you for all the time that you worked, you may be able to participate in the lawsuit and you may be able to recover all that you are owed plus interest. You may also be entitled to an additional amount in penalties that can be imposed on employers that violate labor and employment laws. We offer a free review of your situation to determine if you qualify.
We may follow up with you by phone and text pursuant to our privacy policy. By signing up, you agree to our terms and conditions.

Is this a class action?No. If you meet our qualifications, we will represent you against the responsible parties seeking as much compensation as possible for you. You will choose whether to accept any settlement of your claim.

How do I know if I have a case?If you have been diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease and think you may have come into contact with paraquat (which was sometimes sold as: Parazone, Para-Shot 3.0, Quick-Quat, Blanco, Cyclone SL 2.0, Firestorm, Helmquat 3SL, Bonedry, Devour, Gramoxone, Crisquat, Dexuron, Esgram, Gramuron, Ortho Paraquat CL, Para-col, Pillarxone,Tota-col, and Toxer Total), please contact our lawyers so that we can investigate your claim.

How do you know Paraquat causes Parkinson’s Disease?In 2011, a study by the National Institutes of Health investigated the relationship between Parkinson’s Disease and exposure to pesticides. This study found that people who were exposed to Paraquat developed Parkinson’s Disease approximately 2.5 times more often than others. You can read more about the NIH study here: https://www.nih.gov/news-events/news-releases/nih-study-finds-two-pesticides-associated-parkinsons-disease Since that time, we have spent years working with leading experts to recover for our clients.

How much will this cost me?Hiring us is free. You will never have to pay us out of your own pocket. We will pay all of the costs to investigate and move your case forward and are only reimbursed if we win. We work on a contingency fee. That means we get paid only if you win, and our earnings are a fraction of the settlement or jury verdict we win for you.
-
How much money will I get?The ethical rules for attorneys prevent us from estimating your recovery in order to gain your business. The settlements that we have reached for our clients are confidential but they are substantial. There is no way to estimate the value of your individual case until we review your records and investigate your specific case.
-
What kind of damages could I win?In the lawsuits we have filed on behalf of farmers seeking compensation for their Parkinson’s Disease, we have sought: past and future medical expenses, long-term care and physical therapy, lost wages, pain and suffering, and spousal damages.
-
Why should I act now?In most states, you must file a lawsuit within two years of the date that you “knew or should have known” that you suffered an injury related to the product. If you do not file by then you may have lost your opportunity to recover. When you knew or should have known is not always clear, so it is important to consult with an attorney as soon as possible so you do not wait too long to file your claim.

Why should I work with you?Many lawyers say that they can help you but few have ever represented clients with a case like yours. Our lawyers have been litigating Parkinson’s Disease/Paraquat Exposure cases since 2015 when the first one in the United States was filed against Syngenta, manufacturer of Paraquat in St. Clair County, Illinois. Our lawyers have guided those farmers and their families through the process. We have stood up and argued for their rights in Court and we have sat next to them while they testified about how their lives have been devastated by Parkinson's Disease. No other law firm can claim this our experience or match our success. Our clients are receiving checks, not empty promises. If you have Parkinson’s Disease, or know someone who does, and may have been exposed to Paraquat, we urge you to contact us today for a free case evaluation.
