Lawyers Helping People Throughout the United States
Address Injuries From Herbicide Exposure

Roundup is the most commonly used herbicide in the world. Every year, hundreds of millions of pounds of this chemical are sprayed on crops in the United States and around the world. People also use Roundup at their homes and businesses to kill weeds and maintain landscapes. Due to the widespread use of this chemical, it may be present in plants that people eat, or it may seep into the ground and enter water sources. While agricultural workers are most likely to be exposed to Roundup in high concentrations, other people may also be affected by this chemical.

Unfortunately, even though the company that manufactures and sells Roundup claims that it is completely safe, many people have suffered harm due to herbicide exposure. Monsanto, the original manufacturer of Roundup, and Bayer, which acquired Monsanto in 2018, have paid out billions of dollars to people who have filed claims related to the harm they have suffered due to Roundup exposure. If you have worked in agricultural settings, lived or worked near locations where Roundup was used, or believe that you have contracted cancer or other illnesses after being exposed to herbicides, our attorneys can help you determine whether you have a valid claim for compensation. We work with people throughout the United States to help them determine their legal options in these situations.

What Are the Effects of Roundup?

The primary chemical in Roundup that is used to kill weeds is known as glyphosate, although the herbicide also contains a variety of other chemicals as well. Glyphosate has been linked to a number of serious health conditions, including intestinal and neurological diseases, liver and kidney damage, and developmental disorders affecting children. However, the primary concern related to glyphosate exposure is the risk of cancer.

Roundup Effects

While the manufacturer insists that Roundup does not cause cancer, it has been required to pay billions of dollars to people who contracted cancer after being exposed to its product. While the United States Environmental Protection Agency has stated that glyphosate is unlikely to cause cancer in humans, the World Health Organization and the International Agency for Research on Cancer have classified glyphosate as a substance that is “probably carcinogenic to humans.”

Specific forms of cancer have been linked to Roundup exposure, including non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and leukemia. People who have been diagnosed with cancer after prolonged exposure to glyphosate may be able to recover compensation for the damages they have suffered.

Who Is Eligible to File a Roundup Claim?

Those who have been exposed to high levels of Roundup over multiple months or years are most likely to suffer negative effects such as cancer. People in agricultural industries, such as farm workers, landscapers, gardeners, or groundskeepers may experience health issues due to herbicide exposure. Other people affected may include teachers or students at schools where herbicides were used on athletic fields, people who live near agricultural fields, or others who experienced Roundup exposure on a regular basis.

In general, people who have been exposed to Roundup at least 10 times and have developed leukemia or lymphoma may be eligible to file claims. The time limits for pursuing claims will depend on the laws of the state where a case is filed. In most cases, a claim will need to be filed within two to four years after the diagnosis of one of these conditions or after the death of a family member.

What Damages Can I Recover Through a Roundup Claim?

If you have contracted cancer due to Roundup exposure, or if your family member has died due to Roundup-related cancer, you may be able to receive compensation for your financial losses. Depending on the circumstances of your case, you may also receive non-economic damages as well.

Compensation may address the medical expenses related to the harm you have suffered because of Roundup exposure. Bills for doctor visits, cancer treatments, surgery, chemotherapy, or other forms of ongoing care may be repaid. You may also be able to recover compensation for income you lost because you were unable to work due to your illness.

Non-economic damages are often known as “pain and suffering,” and they may address the physical discomfort and emotional trauma you have experienced. Your loss of enjoyment of life and your inability to participate in activities you previously enjoyed may also be considered. If you will be filing a claim on behalf of a deceased family member, you may be compensated for the grief and sorrow you have experienced and the loss of companionship with your loved one.
