BELLEVILLE – Stephen Tillery, ready for trial on a claim that weed killer paraquat caused four plaintiffs to suffer Parkinson’s disease, won the biggest judgment ever in an American trial and lost it at the Illinois Supreme Court.
In 2003, after a bench trial, late Madison County judge Nicholas Byron awarded more than $10 billion to a class of cigarette smokers Tillery represented.
The few American cases with higher judgments, such as state tobacco litigation in the 1990s and Deepwater Horizon explosion suits, ended in settlement.
Tillery retreated from the field of class actions after the state Supreme Court and Congress restricted them, though he has returned as ambitious as ever.

BELLEVILLE Chevron and others that manufactured and distributed paraquat herbicide products are facing a suit alleging exposure to those products has led to Parkinson s disease.
John Parker, Leslie Stumpf and Arlene Stumpf filed a complaint April 16 in the St. Clair County Circuit Court against Syngenta Crop Protection LLC, Syngenta AG, Chevron U.S.A., Inc., and Growmark Inc., alleging strict product liability and negligence.
The plaintiffs allege in their complaint that they regularly and frequently used the defendants products that contain paraquat, which is used to kill weeds and grasses prior to growing various fruit, vegetable and plantation crops. They allege they suffered Parkinson s disease as a result of their exposure to paraquat.
