Roundup Lawsuits: Know Your Rights and Legal Options
For years, Roundup has been one of the most widely used weed killers in agriculture, landscaping, and home gardening. However, mounting scientific evidence has linked exposure to Roundup’s active ingredient: “glyphosate” to serious health issues, including various types of cancer. If you or a loved one has developed cancer or another health condition after prolonged use or exposure to Roundup, Segal Law is here to help you understand your legal rights and fight for the compensation you deserve.
What Is Roundup?
Roundup is a herbicide developed by Monsanto (now owned by Bayer) and used across the U.S. to kill weeds in crops, lawns, and gardens. The main ingredient, glyphosate, has been the subject of growing concern due to its possible carcinogenic properties. While regulatory agencies have issued mixed opinions, several independent studies and court rulings have supported a link between glyphosate and certain types of cancer, especially non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
Health Risks Associated with Roundup Exposure
People who work in agriculture, landscaping, or who frequently used Roundup in their yards may be at an increased risk for serious health conditions. The most concerning include:
Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma – Repeated glyphosate exposure has been strongly associated with this type of cancer, particularly in those with regular occupational contact.
B-cell Lymphoma – A subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma that has also been noted in plaintiffs across many Roundup lawsuits.
Leukemia – Some studies have found possible associations between glyphosate exposure and leukemia, especially among agricultural workers.
Legal Actions Against Monsanto and Bayer
Thousands of lawsuits have been filed against Monsanto and Bayer by individuals who developed cancer after using Roundup. Jury verdicts and settlements have resulted in billions of dollars in compensation to victims and their families. These cases allege that Monsanto failed to adequately warn users of the potential health risks associated with glyphosate.
Notable outcomes include:
A $2 billion verdict (later reduced) awarded to a couple who developed cancer after decades of Roundup use.
A series of bellwether trials demonstrating juries’ willingness to side with victims in the face of corporate negligence.
Where Roundup Lawsuits Stand Now
Roundup litigation is ongoing, with thousands of new claims being evaluated. Many cases have been consolidated into multidistrict litigation (MDL) to streamline proceedings. Scientific studies continue to bolster the claims of individuals suffering from glyphosate-related illnesses, giving new plaintiffs a strong foundation for legal action.
If you've been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma or another related condition after Roundup use, now is a critical time to pursue your claim. Courts are actively hearing these cases, and early action can increase your chances of obtaining the compensation you deserve.
