April 2022: The MDL Paraquat class action judge will have a status conference on April 1st to review where the litigation is headed and how best to take the bellwether lawsuits forward for trial in November 2022. 44 new paraquat lawsuits have been added to the MDL in the last two weeks. At this pace, April 2022 will be the busiest month for new files yet. Last week, the parties filed their class-action bellwether picks with the Paraquat MDL judge. Those choices, however, have not been made public.
May 2022: In the last month, over 50 new cases have been added to the Paraquat Lawsuit Multidistrict Litigation (MDL). A group of six patients was recently selected by the Paraquat MDL court for the initial Paraquat Parkinson's disease bellwether trials. As a result, the first trial in November 2022 is approaching soon. The strategy is to select 16 paraquat claims from among the almost 1000 Parkinson's disease litigation claims filed. Following some limited fact discovery in these instances, paraquat attorneys on both sides submitted a preference list to the MDL court, ranking the 16 cases in order of priority. Attorneys for plaintiffs seek the finest facts for their clients, while defense attorneys want the worst. The judge whittled the list down to six Paraquat claims based on these rankings.

If you or someone you love was mistreated at Westwood Lodge Psychiatric Hospital, you have the right to justice and healing. Many psychiatric hospitals, including Westwood Lodge, have come under fire for incidents involving sexual abuse, physical abuse, emotional abuse, and neglect.
Westwood Lodge, a psychiatric hospital in Massachusetts, faced serious allegations of sexual abuse leading up to its closure in August 2017. In one reported incident, Westwood police investigated a sexual assault at the facility shortly before its shutdown. The Massachusetts Department of Mental Health (DMH) cited "issues concerning patient safety and quality of care" as reasons for the closure. Prior to this, the hospital had a history of safety violations. In April 2017, the children's unit was permanently closed after state inspections revealed children sleeping on bare plastic mattresses in unsanitary conditions, and instances of incorrect medication administration. Despite attempts to address these issues, including temporary admissions suspensions and increased monitoring, the facility failed to meet required standards, culminating in its permanent closure. These events underscore significant concerns about patient safety and oversight in psychiatric care settings.
"We do not identify victims of sexual abuse without their consent. Confidentiality, Safety, & Justice are our top priorities."
