Was Your Cancer Caused by Roundup? TAKE QUIZ

Alabama Roundup Cancer Lawyers

Roundup, a weed killer manufactured by the corporation Monsanto since the 1970s, has been the center of much media and legal attention in recent years. Thousands of lawsuits against Monsanto allege that the company has failed to warn its users of the health risks of Roundup, which contains glyphosate, an herbicide that has been linked to the development of cancer in humans.

A major case was decided in 2018 when a California jury awarded a groundskeeper who was stricken with cancer $290 million – later reduced to $80 million – after the jury found that Monsanto had failed to warn about the potential cancer risk. The largest award to date occurred in May 2019 when a California jury ordered Bayer, which acquired Monsanto in 2018, to pay $2 billion to a couple who had both developed non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma after using Roundup for decades.

In another case in the spring of 2019, Bayer was ordered to pay $80 million to a 70-year-old California man who had cancer after having used Roundup for about 30 years on his land. The jury found that Roundup was a factor in the development of his cancer.

Many of the thousands of lawsuits across the country currently pending against Monsanto are based on significant research from the Word Health Organization (WHO). In 2015, WHO found that glyphosate was “probably carcinogenic to humans.” The following year, a joint report by WHO and the United Nations showed that there were signs of a link between glyphosate exposure and the risk of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, which is a cancer of the immune system.

Roundup has been widely used by farmers in Alabama for decades. Alabama farmworkers placed their trust in Roundup, not knowing of its potential harmful effects. If you live in Alabama and have been diagnosed with cancer or another serious health condition after being exposed to Roundup, be sure to contact an attorney to discuss your rights to compensation.

Roundup Use in Alabama and its Harmful Effects

Agriculture is a major industry in Alabama, making up over $5 billion in sales each year. Many Alabamans work in agriculture with agriculture and forestry comprising 1 out of every 4.6 jobs in the state. Known as the “Cotton State,” cotton farming alone generates more than $100 million annually in Alabama. More than one-quarter of the glyphosate used on crops in 2016 was sprayed on cotton, according to state and federal data.

In 2016, nearly 2 million gallons of glyphosate, including Roundup, was used on Alabama crops, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The crops in Alabama most likely to have used glyphosate include soybeans, corn, cotton, and wheat.

Many serious diseases and health conditions have been linked to glyphosate, including but not limited to:

  • Leukemia
  • Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma
  • Large B-Cell Lymphoma
  • Mantle Cell Lymphoma
  • T-Cell Lymphoma
  • Myeloma
  • Cancers of the brain, lung, and prostate
  • Alzheimer’s
  • Diabetes
  • Liver disease
  • Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) or Lou Gehrig’s disease

According to a recent analysis, glyphosate increases the cancer risk of those exposed to it by 41%. The University of Washington analysis evaluated existing glyphosate studies and found that there was a link between glyphosate exposure and a higher risk of developing non-Hodgkin lymphoma. One of the study’s authors said they were “convinced” that glyphosate was carcinogenic, meaning it has the potential to cause cancer.

Testimonials

They called me and my aging father with updates every few weeks. We were part of a class action – they told us upfront that this can take several years to settle. My father and I both appreciated the personal service we received at the Driscoll Firm. Our settlement was more than we ever hoped for, and my father can live out the rest of his days in comfort – thank you Driscoll Firm!

- Ethan T.

My husband and I were skeptical because my mother had already been promised the world by another law firm. She had been severely injured by a prescription she had been taking for 6 years. I’m not gonna lie, the process is LONG – but the Driscoll firm makes good on their claims – everything played out pretty close to what they said, and my mother will never have to worry about paying for medical care again.

- Mary W.

The case was handled well and I always felt like I was in good hands. The firm kept me updated as to the status of the case as it went along. I was very content with the outcome of my particular case. Would highly recommend them to handle a legal issue.
