Pesticide Injury Accountability Act of 2025
This bill creates a new legal pathway for individuals injured by pesticides. It allows people harmed by pesticide use - whether to their person or property - to sue the company that registered the pesticide in federal court for monetary damages. The law specifies that recovered damages can include both compensatory and punitive amounts (at the court's discretion), but excludes attorney fees or court costs. Crucially, it clarifies that this federal right of action does not override existing state laws, meaning affected individuals can also pursue claims under state regulations. The bill directly impacts pesticide registrants (companies) and anyone suffering pesticide-related harm.
