Q: Can I still look into suing a company from last June for being spray by Chemicals?
I live in the country in rural Mower County MN. Surrounded by fields. June 3 my kids and I were out in the back yard kids were in the pool I was working on some brush piles. The winds were 30mph + from the South that day and Northern County Coop decided to spray herbicides that day with a brand new Heggi Sprayer 100" booms on each side. They drove down the field and started right by my house. Well when you have to start the machine you need to purge it and they did it right next to us. It coated me dripping wet and I yelled at my kids to get in the house and shut the windows. The sprayer was 50Ft away from me and maybe 100ft from my kids in the pool. it was going everywhere. There is some brush and trees from field to pool so he did not see us I assume. Story short I haven't felt the same since . that day my eyes swelled up my skin(no shirt) was on fire. I tired chasing him down but he would not stop. I found out the guy had no training on the new machine. They never notified me.
A: If you suffered an actual injury, sure you can sue. But you will need to be able to prove that injury. Medical records are where you start.
