The Roundup lawsuit claims that Monsanto's popular weed killer, Roundup, causes cancer. The main ingredient, glyphosate, has been linked to Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma.
Numerous studies and the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) have classified glyphosate as a probable human carcinogen. Despite this, Monsanto continues to deny these claims.
Victims of Roundup exposure who developed cancer are filing lawsuits against Monsanto, seeking compensation for medical expenses, pain, and suffering.
A U.S. appeals court has allowed a Georgia doctor's lawsuit against Bayer AG, concerning its Roundup weedkiller causing cancer, to proceed, challenging Bayer's defense that federal approval exempts it from state lawsuits.
Despite settling a majority of claims in 2020, Bayer faces over 50,000 claims related to Roundup and is under investor pressure to reach settlements, although it plans to continue defending its product.
The appeals court's decision to revive the lawsuit filed by David Carson, who claims to have developed cancer from Roundup, underscores the ongoing litigation risk for Bayer, highlighted by a recent $2.25 billion verdict against it.
The active ingredient in Roundup (Glyphosate) has been linked to an increased cancer risk, specifically Non Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.
Roundup Lawsuits are being filed against BayerAG and Monsanto for failing to warn consumers about the dangers of Roundup exposure.
Over 80% of Roundup Lawsuits, which amount to over 100,000 cases, have been settled.
The landmark $10 billion settlement agreement includes $1.25 billion for future Roundup claims.

The Roundup litigation is still ongoing and our lawyers are accepting more cases.
A Philadelphia jury imposed a hefty penalty of $2.25 billion on Bayer this year, in a case that implicated the popular Monsanto weed killer, Roundup, as cause for a cable technician’s blood cancer.
This is the largest verdict to date in the ongoing legal feud regarding Roundup.
The litigation started in 2020 when Bayer allocated over $10 billion to settle approximately 125,000 cases.
The controversy around Roundup is its link to non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
Plaintiffs have started winning large verdicts from juries since last year and thousands of Roundup cases still remain with more being filed.
The attorneys argued Bayer failed to warn consumers about glyphosate, a known pesticide in Roundup.
Despite these settlements, Bayer, the parent company of Monsanto, continues to assert the safety of Roundup.
They have, however, reformulated the consumer version to exclude glyphosate.
Bayer has plans to contest the cases, relying on extensive scientific findings and endorsements from leading health and scientific regulators globally that validate the safety and non-carcinogenic nature of Roundup.
John McKivison, a plaintiff in a recent Roundup case, testified that he used Roundup for 20 years which led to it frequently making contact with his skin.
He has been diagnosed with remission cancer but constantly worries about a recurrence.
The jury ruled in favor of McKivison, awarding him $250 million in actual damages and an added $2 billion for punitive damages.
Bayer filed a post-trial motion against the verdict, they claim the award and the grounds of the Philadelphia courts are unfair.
The company believes there isn’t evidence of McKivison incurring hundreds of millions of dollars in actual losses.
Bayer disputes the claim that glyphosate contributes to non-Hodgkin lymphoma, referring to studies that report incidents of the cancer at similar rates in Roundup users and the general population.
Roundup exposure legal proceedings began after the World Health Organization (WHO) voiced concerns about glyphosate in 2015.
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), a division of WHO, classified glyphosate as “probably carcinogenic to humans.”
This was based on evidence from studies that pointed to an increased risk of cancer among glyphosate-exposed agricultural workers.
The IARC also cited strong evidence that glyphosate caused genetic and cellular damage in laboratory studies, all of which suggested potential cancer risks for people.

A U.S. appeals court declined to dismiss a Georgia doctor’s lawsuit against Bayer AG, claiming that its Roundup weedkiller caused cancer.
The court rejected Bayer’s argument that federal approval shielded it from state lawsuits over the product’s risks.
Bayer intends to continue defending its product despite investor pressure for settlements.
The ruling reduces the likelihood of the U.S. Supreme Court intervening.
Bayer had hoped for a favorable Supreme Court ruling to limit its liability.
The company faces over 50,000 claims related to Roundup despite settling most pending claims in 2020.
The plaintiff in this particular case, David Carson, alleges he developed cancer after using Roundup for years.
The appeals court revived Carson’s case, rejecting Bayer’s defense.
Bayer has experienced mixed success in previous trials but has also substantial verdicts, including a $2.25 billion verdict handed down in Philadelphia court last month.

Bayer has been ordered to pay $2.25 billion to a Pennsylvania man who claimed he developed cancer from using the company’s Roundup weedkiller.
The verdict includes $250 million in compensatory damages and $2 billion in punitive damages.
Bayer disputes the verdict and plans to appeal, arguing that it conflicts with scientific evidence and regulatory assessments.
This decision follows several other wins by plaintiffs suing Bayer over Roundup, but the company has also won some recent trials.
Around 165,000 claims have been filed against Bayer in the U.S. related to Roundup, most alleging a link to non-Hodgkins lymphoma.
Bayer acquired Roundup as part of its purchase of Monsanto in 2018.
The company had previously settled most cases for up to $9.6 billion but failed to secure a settlement for future cases, with over 50,000 claims remaining pending.
Despite significant losses in court, Bayer has insisted on fighting the cases rather than settling.
The company had considered breaking off its crop science business due to concerns about Roundup liability but recently decided to focus on internal reorganization instead.

In the most recent Roundup Trial located in Philadelphia, the trial judge granted Nouryon Chemicals’ motion to dismiss, making Monsanto the sole defendant in the case.
This marks the beginning of Monsanto’s defense, and a verdict is expected late next week.
In an attempt to improve their chances after a series of losses, Monsanto introduced a new toxicologist in the trial.
This move did not work in their favor, as they tried to turn a fact witness into an expert witness, combining opinions in his testimony.
Plaintiff’s attorneys and the trial judge were not pleased with this tactic and moved to stop the testimony.

A coalition of environmental and farmworkers groups, citing research from the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH), has accused the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of allowing the continued use of the herbicide glyphosate, despite evidence linking it to cancer.
The Center for Food Safety (CFS) filed a petition on behalf of several groups, challenging the legality of glyphosate’s registration in the U.S.
The petition comes after an NIH study found genotoxic markers in male farmers exposed to high levels of glyphosate.
Glyphosate is the active ingredient in the widely used weedkiller Roundup, and the World Health Organization warned it is “probably carcinogenic to humans” in 2015.
Despite mounting evidence, the EPA has not taken action, lacking a legal human health assessment of glyphosate.
The coalition calls for the suspension of glyphosate use until it meets required safety standards or is canceled under federal law.
Glyphosate is banned for household use in some countries and for public use in others.
Critics argue that the EPA ignored glyphosate’s adverse effects in the past, facilitating its widespread use.

The Roundup Lawsuit is ongoing, and the Roundup Lawyers at TorHoerman Law are still speaking to potential clients about their circumstances.
A new scientific paper reveals that pregnant women residing near farm fields have significantly higher levels of glyphosate weedkiller in their urine when farmers are spraying their fields with the herbicide.
This finding is concerning, given previous research linking gestational exposure to glyphosate with reduced fetal growth and other fetal issues.
Glyphosate has also been associated with cancer and other health problems.
The study, conducted by researchers from the University of California, Berkeley; the University of Washington; Boise State University; and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), is surprising because none of the women studied worked with glyphosate or herbicides, and none had household members using weedkillers.
The research collected 453 urine samples biweekly from 40 pregnant women in southern Idaho throughout 2021.
Glyphosate was detected more frequently and at higher concentrations in the urine of women living near fields during the months of glyphosate spraying.
Those living farther away still had glyphosate in their urine, but the levels remained relatively consistent throughout the year.
The study raises questions about how glyphosate exposure occurs, such as through drifting, adhering to soil particles, or entering drinking water.
Further research will aim to identify the sources of exposure by collecting household dust and water samples.
Glyphosate, the world’s most widely used herbicide, is the active ingredient in products like Roundup, originally developed by Monsanto and now owned by Bayer.
Researchers have only recently begun to document the extent of human exposure to glyphosate, with previous studies showing detectable traces of glyphosate in urine samples from a significant percentage of participants.

Three plaintiffs received $61.1 million in compensatory damages and $500 million each in punitive damages for non-Hodgkin lymphoma linked to Roundup exposure.
This verdict marks Bayer’s fourth consecutive court loss, and a top Bayer shareholder suggested the company should consider settling more cases.

A California jury awarded $332 million to a man, Mike Dennis, who sued Monsanto, claiming that his cancer resulted from long-term use of the Roundup weedkiller.
Diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 2020, Dennis linked his illness to Roundup’s active ingredient, glyphosate.
Although in remission, his condition is incurable.
The jury held Monsanto responsible for failing to warn about Roundup’s risks but ruled partially in Bayer’s favor, Monsanto’s parent company, stating the product design wasn’t defective, and the company wasn’t negligent.
Dennis was granted $7 million in compensatory damages and $325 million in punitive damages.
Bayer intends to appeal, citing legal errors and an excessive damage award.

In a significant legal outcome, a St. Louis jury granted a plaintiff $1.25 million in a case where he alleged that Monsanto’s Roundup was responsible for his non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
The jury’s decision was based on the finding that Monsanto failed to provide sufficient warnings about the potential risks associated with Roundup and its key component, glyphosate.
Furthermore, a separate Philadelphia jury recently handed Monsanto a substantial $175 million verdict in a lawsuit brought by a cancer patient who argued that the company inadequately informed consumers about the presence of carcinogenic substances in the weed killer Roundup.
This verdict concludes the first trial in Philadelphia involving tort claims related to Bayer’s flagship product.

Glyphosate, the main ingredient in Roundup, interferes with amino acid production in plants and was patented by Monsanto in the 1970s.
Legal challenges arose in 2015 after the World Health Organization’s IARC classified glyphosate as “probably carcinogenic to humans.”
This classification was based on evidence of cancer in animal experiments and limited evidence from human exposure.
Bayer, which owns Monsanto, has faced numerous lawsuits, paying billions in settlements.
An Australian court case features expert testimonies on epidemiological studies, mechanistic evidence, and animal experiments to determine glyphosate’s carcinogenicity and whether it can be absorbed in quantities through herbicide use to cause cancer.
Monsanto argues that glyphosate is safe when used as directed and that other factors may cause non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

The McCostlin Roundup trial is ongoing in St. Louis County.
Because of the significant connections Monsanto has in St. Louis, a ruling in favor of the plaintiff could potentially promote favorable rulings across many other parts of the country.
One of the biggest challenges and disputes in this specific case regards whether the plaintiff’s suit was brought within the statute of limitations.
In many states, the timeline to file suit starts when an injured individual becomes aware that their injury resulted from another’s mistake or negligence.
The plaintiff argues that they realized their non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma could be from Roundup in 2019, but the defendants argue that the plaintiff learned about this connection in 2017 after viewing a commercial about the ties between non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and Roundup.
The determination of whether this suit is within the statute of limitations is up to the jury, but it is unclear when this decision will be made.
If you or a loved one were exposed to Roundup weed killer and subsequently were diagnosed with related health problems, you may be eligible to file a Roundup Lawsuit.

The Missouri Supreme Court rejected plaintiffs’ attempt to have a trial held in the City of St. Louis for cases alleging cancer caused by Roundup exposure.
Although none of the plaintiffs reside in Missouri, the trial court had consolidated their cases into a single trial in the City of St. Louis.
BCLP, serving as legal and appellate counsel, successfully halted this move by recommending an emergency writ petition that the Supreme Court ultimately granted.

Monsanto has recently filed a motion seeking to exclude the viewpoints of Dr. Ron Schiff, an expert witness representing one of the plaintiffs in the Roundup case.
Dr. Schiff has played a substantial role by offering his expert medical opinion regarding the link between glyphosate exposure and lymphoma in the Roundup litigation.
However, Monsanto is currently asserting that Dr. Schiff’s opinions should be considered unreliable and excluded due to flawed methodology.
It’s worth noting that Monsanto’s prior endeavors to exclude expert witness testimonies have achieved limited success.

Bayer AG has agreed to pay $6.9 million to settle claims made by New York Attorney General Letitia James, who accused the company of misleading consumers with its advertising of Roundup weedkiller.
The settlement resolves allegations that Bayer and its Monsanto unit failed to provide evidence for their claims that Roundup, which contains the active ingredient glyphosate, was environmentally safe.
The advertising statements that were deemed misleading included assertions that Roundup only harmed weeds and not animal wildlife, as well as suggestions that Roundup was safer than detergent and soap.
The settlement requires Bayer to stop advertising Roundup as a safe and non-toxic product.
The $6.9 million will be used to mitigate the impact of pesticides on pollinators and aquatic species.
Bayer did not admit or deny wrongdoing but expressed satisfaction with the settlement.
The attorney general’s investigation did not draw scientific conclusions about Roundup’s safety.
Bayer has faced extensive litigation over the alleged cancer-causing effects of Roundup since its acquisition of Monsanto in 2018, settling a significant portion of the claims for $10.9 billion in 2020.

Bayer is still attempting to have Roundup Lawsuits dismissed, despite the Supreme Court refusing to hear its appeal to dismiss legal action surrounding the weed killer in June 2022.
The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals will review its previous ruling that deals with the issue of whether federal pesticide law takes precedence over state failure-to-warn claims.
Though this is a win for Bayer, it does not guarantee by any means that Roundup Lawsuits will be dismissed any time soon.

Last month, news came out that spoke to how widespread Roundup contamination may be in the United States.
A CDC study, the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, found that Glyphosate, the chemical in Roundup linked to cancer, was present in 80% (1,885 of 2,310) of urine samples from test subjects.
The study included participants representative of the U.S. population, with around one third of participants being children aged 6 and older.
Cases are continually being added to the Roundup multidistrict litigation (MDL 2741).

The Supreme Court rejected an appeal from Bayer in the most recent Roundup Bellwether Trial, a move that may have major implications on the remaining Roundup lawsuits that have yet to be tried.
Bayer’s appeal argued that an EPA filing that declared Roundup safe to use superseded California’s failure-to-warn law, where the lawsuits are consolidated.
If the appeal was accepted, thousands of Roundup lawsuits would have likely been thrown out.
A panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected the EPA report and ordered the agency to reexamine its findings.
The Supreme Court decision means that Bayer/Monsanto is liable to pay the $25 million settlement decided in the bellwether and preemption cannot be used as an argument by the defense.
The Roundup litigation is ongoing, and lawyers are still accepting cases across the country.
On June 13, 2022, the Supreme Court took no action on Bayer’s bid to dismiss Roundup legal claims.
It was expected that the Supreme Court would dismiss Bayer’s appeal, but it instead took no action.
It’s difficult to tell what may happen next with the Roundup Litigation.
The Supreme Court may even decide to rule on the case.

Most recently, Monsanto appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court to dismiss Roundup Lawsuits based on the argument that legal action for injuries caused by Roundup are preempted by the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act.
Agricultural groups across America reacted to the rejection: 54 agricultural groups want President Biden to “withdraw a brief to the Supreme Court over Bayer AG’s petition for the court to review a verdict in a Roundup cancer lawsuit.”
An Ex-Monsanto CEO has been ordered to testify in the trial of a suit filed in Missouri State Court by a former Roundup user.
The suit alleges that the herbicide is responsible for his Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma diagnosis.
Many cases have been consolidated into MDL 2741 in the US District Court: Northern District of California, which is still in progress.
Bayer is still dealing with tens of thousands of lawsuits filed in both state and federal courts over claims that Roundup, the discontinued weed killer, is linked to cancer.
In 2018 Bayer acquired Monsanto, which developed and patented Roundup, and has assumed the legal responsibilities tied to the weed killer.
On April 7th, Bayer reached a settlement with a number of claims that were scheduled to go to trial in front of a St. Louis court.
The cases, filed in 2017, join the nearly 100,000 others settled by Bayer.
Over 4,000 cases are still pending in the Roundup Multidistrict Litigation (MDL 2741).
There has been a push by plaintiffs’ attorneys to file Roundup cases in state court, as many people have been waiting far too long for a trial or settlement.
Roundup Lawsuits concern the links between chronic exposure to the weed killer and cancer, specifically Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.
A 2015 report from the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) showed that there was “sufficient evidence” glyphosate causes cancer in animals as well as damaging effects on human cells.
A 2015 report from the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) bridged the potential link between the chemical component, glyphosate, and cancer.
The report referenced studies that showed that there was “sufficient evidence” glyphosate causes cancer in animals as well as damaging effects on human cells.
Recent studies suggest that the popular Roundup weedkiller could be deadly to more than just unwanted plants.
In relation to these studies and IARC’s findings, lawsuits were filed against Roundup manufacturer, Monsanto.
The Roundup lawsuit claims that exposure to a chemical component of the herbicide, glyphosate, causes Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.
Glyphosate, a common agent in herbicides, targets specific enzymes in weeds to eradicate them without damaging other plants.
Glyphosate is the active ingredient in Monsanto Co.’s Roundup weed killer.
On a yearly average, American farmers spray nearly a pound of glyphosate on every acre of cropland.
Farmers and landscapers who use Roundup regularly are often exposed to high levels of glyphosate.
Because of the herbicide’s popularity in the agricultural industry, trace amounts of glyphosate have been found in corn, soy, and wheat-based products.
Alarmingly, the chemical has also been detected in human urine samples and women’s breast milk.
Monsanto claims that the chemical is completely harmless to humans, citing years of in-house studies conducted on glyphosate.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has backed up Monsanto’s claim, citing their own findings which show no link between glyphosate and increased risk of cancer for humans.
The Environmental Protection Agency’s long-standing position is that glyphosate exposure and low-level consumption does not pose any risk to humans.
According to their website, Monsanto supports these claims with their own in-house studies, which have found glyphosate to be “more than 10 times less toxic than caffeine.”
Despite Monsanto’s statements, a number of U.S. agricultural workers and landscapers are currently suing Monsanto, claiming that by using Roundup they were exposed to high levels of glyphosate which caused them to develop Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma.
Monsanto stands by their safety claims, stating “in more than 700 studies, no one has associated cancer with the use of glyphosate.”
However, information obtained through the first cases against Monsanto shows that the EPA reports are likely compromised.
Within the documents lies a chain of Monsanto internal emails, and email communications between the company and EPA staff, suggesting that the EPA research had been ghostwritten by Monsanto, and later signed off by EPA academics.
In one such email, Monsanto executive William F. Heydens wrote:
“We would be keeping the cost down by us doing the writing and they [EPA] would just edit & sign their names so to speak.”
There is also evidence that one EPA senior official had worked directly with Monsanto directors to put a halt to further investigations by other federal health agencies into the potential adverse effects of glyphosate.
Other documents indicate that an EPA senior officials had worked with Monsanto to hide a U.S. Department of Health and Human Services study reviewing glyphosate, which suggested the herbicide could be a carcinogen.
A series of EPA internal emails revealed a great level of dispute among employees about the safety of glyphosate.
Even within the EPA, there seems to be a polarizing disagreement of whether glyphosate is hazardous for humans.
The agency is currently conducting a scheduled evaluation of the chemical though there is no indication of when the results of the evaluation will be published.
Roundup weed killers have been banned in:
On April 11, 2019, Vietnam removed herbicides containing glyphosate from the market because of the damaging effects it has on the environment and severe health consequences for the population.
“The decision to remove herbicides containing glyphosate from the list of plant protection chemicals permitted for use in Vietnam is in accordance with the current law, international regulations and in line with Vietnam’s socio-economic conditions,” Hoang Trung, head of the Plant Protection Department under Vietnam’s Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development said in the statement.
The herbicide is Monsanto’s flagship product.
Being sold internationally for both mass agricultural purposes and as an at-home gardening applicant, it is the most widely used herbicide in the world.
There are currently more than 700 roundup cancer lawsuits filed against Monsanto related to Roundup weedkillers.
The people claiming injuries are made up of agricultural labourers, lawn care workers, and gardeners who have developed Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma because of their high levels of exposure to glyphosate.
Monsanto continues to assert that Roundoff is safe for consumers.
In December 2016, the EPA constructed a panel to review the possible health effects of glyphosate.
The panel consisted of 15 outside experts, composed of:
The review was not a consequence of the lawsuits, but rather the EPA is required to review health-effects for every pesticide once every 15 years.
Glyphosate had not been reviewed since 1991.
At that time, the EPA determined that the herbicide did not pose a threat to consumers.
In a puzzling move, the December conference began with the Chief of the Office of Pesticides Programs, Jack Housenger, laying out an array of evidence – in the form of a 227-page issue paper –explaining why glyphosate is an unlikely carcinogen.
Housenger then requested the panel review the analysis.
More than half of the expert panelists were concerned with the EPA’s findings.
During the conference, panelist Eric Johnson, an epidemiologist at the University of Arkansas, expressed his concerns.
Johnson said that if any study suggested a positive connection between glyphosate and Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma, the EPA would quickly minimize the findings, citing alleged flaws in the study.
Panelist Lianne Sheppard, a biostatistician at the University of Washington-Seattle, explained that there was a “consensus” on the panel that “the available evidence did not fit with the conclusions drawn in the issue paper, particularly when put in the context of guidelines.”
Three of the experts even expressed concern regarding the Office of Pesticides Programs’ integrity and ability to conduct unbiased studies.
In 2016, approximately 30% of the Office of Pesticides Programs operating budget was funded by the pesticide manufacturing industry.
The office relies on studies and tests conducted by the pesticide manufacturers for much of their data.
After the conference, the EPA publicly released the issue paper.
By law, the EPA had to include any concerns expressed by the panelists.
Using ambiguous language and vague information, the EPA downplayed the severity of the panel’s concerns.
When a majority of the panelists disagreed with the EPA’s findings, the release paper would simply state “some panelists expressed doubt.”
If the panelists denied the data, the release would only explain that “panelists had some concerns.”
The issue paper did not distinguish how many or which panelists were concerned with which specific data sets.
Following the conference, a group of environmental health scientists came together to voice their concerns in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health.
The researchers argued that more unbiased safety reviews of glyphosate are needed for market approval.
The study’s authors write that:
“It is incongruous that safety assessments of the most widely used herbicide on the planet rely largely on fewer than 300 unpublished, non-peer-reviewed studies while excluding the vast modern literature on glyphosate effects.”
On July 7, California was the first state to list glyphosate as a known carcinogen, contrasting the EPA’s federal approval of the herbicide.
The chances of a federal glyphosate ban are slim.
The 2016 election cycle brought a change in bureaucratic leadership, including a new EPA administrator, Scott Pruitt.
Pruitt previously served as Oklahoma’s Attorney General.
During his tenure as Attorney General, Pruitt sued the EPA on 13 separate occasions, all of which were attempts to end federal regulations on behalf of corporations.
Since taking over the EPA, Pruitt has already reversed a ban on chlorpyrifos, a pesticide similar to glyphosate, which is believed to cause brain damage in agricultural workers and children.
A national group of pediatricians said that they were “deeply alarmed by EPA’s decision not to finalize the proposed rule to end chlorpyrifos uses on food,” saying it puts children at significant risk.
Despite this, Pruitt took the side of chlorpyrifos manufacturer, DOW Chemical, arguing that the data did not directly link chlorpyrifos exposure to brain damage.
Pruitt is in a position now to decide whether to increase regulations on or completely ban glyphosate.
Based on Pruitt’s past history and aggressive attitude towards deregulation, it is unlikely that the new EPA administrator will go against corporate interest.
A lot rides on the EPA’s market approval of glyphosate.
Last September, Bayer AG agreed to buy Monsanto for $66 billion, pending regulatory approvals.
Since 2015, Monsanto has spent more than $10.3 million in lobbying, developing advantageous relationships with political heads and bureaucrats that control agricultural policies and regulations.
With political influence and financial power, as well as a new EPA head administrator favoring environmental deregulation, there is little to hinder Monsanto’s merger with Bayer AG.
The corporate giant will see to it that Roundup stays on the market, even if it is at the expense of the thousands of agricultural workers who are exposed to its dangerous product every day.
As research on the effects of glyphosate continues to indicate that the chemical is a carcinogen, more product liability Roundup lawsuit cases will be filed across federal and state courts.
Federal multidistrict litigation is proceeding under the direction of U.S. District Court Judge Vince Chhabria.
During the first bellwether trial, Judge Chhabria made the following comment relating to Monsanto’s carelessness.
Judge Chhabria said:
“Although the evidence that Roundup causes cancer is quite equivocal, there is strong evidence from which a jury could conclude that Monsanto does not particularly care whether its product is, in fact, giving people cancer, focusing instead on manipulating public opinion and undermining anyone who raises genuine and legitimate concerns about the issue.”

Your attorney will help you to gather evidence to prove that you were in fact exposed to Roundup.
Some evidence might include:
If you or a loved one was exposed to Roundup regularly and subsequently was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma or another form of cancer – you may qualify to file a Roundup lawsuit.
The best way to determine if you qualify is to speak with an experienced Roundup lawyer.
The average payout for an individual who has been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma or other cancers is between $5,000 to $250,000 in compensation.
One report stated that the average amount per client suffering from cancer is $160,000.
Exposure to Roundup has been linked to a number of adverse health effects, including cancer.
The active ingredient in Roundup, glyphosate, has been classified as a “probable human carcinogen” by the World Health Organization.
The statute of limitations may vary depending on the state in which you live.
However, it is generally two (2) to three (3) years from the date of diagnosis or one year from the date of death.
You should speak with an experienced Roundup attorney to determine the applicable statute of limitations in your case.
Roundup lawyers typically take between 33-40% of the total amount recovered in a personal injury lawsuit.
Contingency fee agreements may vary depending on the circumstances of each case.
The attorneys’ fees in a Roundup lawsuit will be contingent upon whether the case is resolved through settlement or trial.
If the case settles, the attorney’s fees will generally be a percentage of the total settlement amount.
If the case goes to trial, the roundup attorneys fees will be charged hourly.
You should discuss this with your attorney prior to signing any legal documents.
It is important that you understand all of the terms of your agreement before moving forward.

Bayer denies these claims and is currently appealing a number of Roundup verdicts.
The Roundup litigation is currently in the appeals process.
It is unclear how long the appeals will take or what the final outcome will be.
The Roundup Lawsuit claims that the herbicide Roundup causes cancer and that the company knew about this risk but did not warn consumers.
