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.

A survivor-centered legal team helps you build a strong, respectful case by listening first, protecting your privacy through confidential intake and careful information handling, and identifying all potentially responsible parties—whether that’s an individual perpetrator, supervisors, contractors, or the City where legally appropriate. We work to preserve key evidence such as records, grievances, medical logs, housing history, witness information, and investigative materials where available, while also documenting the real-life impact in a way that is thorough but not invasive, including therapy records, diagnoses, and how the abuse has affected your life. We then handle communications and filings so you don’t have to navigate the system alone, and pursue resolution through negotiation, mediation, or litigation when necessary. Every case is different, but civil claims may seek compensation for therapy and mental health care, medical expenses, pain and suffering, emotional distress, lost income, diminished quality of life, and other harms tied to the abuse and its aftermath, with additional damages possible depending on the facts and applicable law. No ethical lawyer can promise an outcome—but you can demand to be taken seriously.
If you were sexually abused, assaulted, coerced, harassed, or retaliated against while in custody at the Rose M. Singer Center (RMSC) on Rikers Island—New York City’s women’s facility that also houses transgender and non-binary people—you deserve to be heard, protected, and treated with dignity.

Abuse by correction officers or staff can take many forms, including rape or sexual assault, forced sexual acts, unwanted touching, coercion or “sexual favors” demanded in exchange for basic needs or safety, sexual harassment, and invasive searches used as punishment or intimidation. Many survivors also report retaliation for speaking up—discipline, threats, housing moves, write-ups, or being labeled as “trouble.”
If you’re unsure whether what happened “counts,” you can still reach out. In custody, consent is complicated by power and control—and the law recognizes that imbalance.
Sexual abuse in custody is widely underreported, but multiple public data sources and legal actions have repeatedly raised alarms about Rikers and the Rose M. Singer Center. In the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics’ National Inmate Survey (2011–2012), the Rose M. Singer Center (New York City) was identified as a high-risk facility for certain staff sexual misconduct measures, with 5.6% of respondents reporting that staff pressured or coerced them into sexual contact without force—compared with a national jail average of 1.8% for staff sexual misconduct. These concerns have also been reflected in litigation, including a reported 2017 case in which two women detained at the Rose M. Singer Center reached a $1.2 million settlement with the City of New York (May 1, 2017) and a separate settlement with a correction officer (May 5, 2017) after alleging repeated rapes while confined.
