Was Your Cancer Caused by Roundup? TAKE QUIZ

Indiana Roundup Cancer Lawyers

Since the 1970s, the glyphosate-based herbicide Roundup has been produced and marketed by the company Monsanto and has been sold to the public as safe for use by humans. Recently, it has been discovered that the company failed to warn consumers for years that their product could potentially cause serious forms of cancer, including non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL).

Recently, a string of lawsuits has shown that the company was aware and failed to warn consumers of the potential risks. A jury in San Francisco awarded $289 million to a former school groundskeeper in August of 2018. In March, a second plaintiff was awarded $80 million, and a couple in California was awarded $2 billion after both individuals developed NHL after using the product for decades. Monsanto and now Bayer AG, the German conglomerate that purchased the company in 2018, are being held accountable and responsible for the harm they’ve caused.

Currently, there are thousands of cases that have been filed against Bayer and Monsanto. If you or someone you love has been diagnosed with NHL and you believe that exposure to Roundup might be to blame, know that you are not alone, and you have the right to take legal action.

What Makes Roundup Dangerous?

Glyphosate is the active ingredient in Roundup. The product was first introduced in 1976 and it was quickly adopted for both residential and commercial applications. Homeowners, nursery professionals, professional landscapers, and farmers and agricultural workers across the country have used it heavily for the past four decades, believing it was safe for use.

In 2015, the World Health Organization (WHO) released a report that aligned with other independent studies, showing a link between the development of specific cancers and glyphosate exposure. There was a particular correlation between glyphosate exposure and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. These reports have led to some countries banning the sale of Roundup and other products that contain glyphosates.

What are the Specific Effects of Roundup?

As noted, there is a significant link between the presence of glyphosates and specific types of cancers, including:

  • Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma
  • Leukemia
  • Myeloma
  • B-Cell Lymphoma

Beyond these specific types of cancers, the presence of glyphosates, the active ingredient in Roundup, has been linked with:

  • Brain Cancer
  • Breast cancer
  • Lung cancer
  • Prostate cancer

While these conditions can be linked to many other factors, such as lifestyle, genetics and environmental factors, there is also a possibility that exposure to glyphosates in Roundup may be a root cause of the illness. If you suspect that this may be the case, it is in your best interest to obtain an evaluation from a medical professional and confirm the diagnosis.

Who Is at Risk of Developing Cancer Due to Roundup Use?

Roundup was one of the most widely-used herbicides in the U.S., generating billions of dollars in revenue yearly for the manufacturer, Monsanto. While the product was widely available for purchase by anyone across the U.S. and could be found for sale at any one of many popular big-box retailers, people in the following professions were at particularly high risk of sustained glyphosate exposure due to Roundup:

  • Farm Workers
  • Landscapers
  • Groundskeepers
  • Nursery Employees
  • Garden Center Employees

Even those who were not required to use Roundup for work could suffer from exposure, especially individuals who live close to commercial farms or other places where Roundup was used routinely. Here in Indiana, this is especially common among those who live in rural areas or who work in our state’s agricultural industry. The most common way that individuals have been exposed to Roundup is by accidentally breathing in the fumes from the spray, but it is possible to also have ingested glyphosates through water or food, or while cleaning up after the chemical has been sprayed. The later effects are most common on those who work in landscaping or at nurseries, where Roundup had been often applied with the idea that it was safe for human use.

Compensation for Roundup cancer claims

If you developed NHL as a result of Roundup exposure, the manufacturer of the product could owe you compensation for the harm you’ve suffered. You could be eligible to recover compensation including:

  • Medical expenses
  • Lost wages
  • Loss of future earnings
  • Loss of support
  • Lost household services
  • Pain and suffering

In some cases, a jury may award punitive damages intended to punish the defendant and send a message that the behavior or negligence will not be tolerated. These damages are rare, but are something that a jury might consider, should your case go all the way to trial.

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!

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.
