Roundup Lawsuits: Seeking Justice for Victims of Glyphosate Exposure
Holding Corporations Accountable for Toxic Exposure
The herbicide Roundup, widely used for decades in agricultural, commercial, and residential settings, has been at the center of mass tort litigation due to its alleged connection to non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and other serious health conditions. Manufactured by Monsanto, now owned by Bayer, Roundup contains glyphosate, a chemical that has been the subject of intense legal, medical, and regulatory scrutiny.
Thousands of individuals have filed lawsuits claiming that long-term exposure to Roundup caused them to develop life-threatening illnesses, while Monsanto failed to adequately warn consumers of the risks. If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with cancer or other serious health conditions after prolonged Roundup exposure, you may have the right to seek compensation.
Why Are People Suing Over Roundup?
The Roundup lawsuits center around the claim that glyphosate, the primary ingredient in Roundup, is a carcinogen that increases the risk of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, leukemia, and other cancers. Despite Monsanto’s assurances of safety, scientific studies and legal investigations have suggested otherwise.
Plaintiffs in these lawsuits argue that:
- Monsanto knew about the cancer risks but concealed the dangers.
- The company failed to provide adequate warnings on product labels.
- Consumers and agricultural workers were exposed to harmful levels of glyphosate without proper protective guidance.
- Regulatory agencies relied on corporate-funded studies rather than independent research when approving Roundup.
- As a result, jurors in multiple cases have ruled against Monsanto, awarding plaintiffs billions of dollars in damages for medical costs, lost wages, pain and suffering, and punitive damages to punish the company for its negligence.
Health Risks Associated with Roundup Exposure
Research has linked glyphosate exposure to several serious health conditions, including:
- Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (NHL) – A type of cancer that affects the lymphatic system.
- Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) – A slow-growing blood cancer.
- Multiple Myeloma – A cancer that forms in plasma cells, affecting bone marrow.
- Other Cancers – Studies suggest links to kidney cancer, liver cancer, and pancreatic cancer.
- Endocrine Disruption – Potential interference with hormone function.
- Liver & Kidney Damage – Prolonged exposure may contribute to organ failure.
Workers in agriculture, landscaping, gardening, and groundskeeping are at particularly high risk due to repeated exposure to glyphosate-based herbicides.
Landmark Roundup Lawsuits & Settlements
Over the past few years, Roundup lawsuits have resulted in massive verdicts and settlements, including:
- $2 Billion Jury Verdict (Pilliod v. Monsanto) – A California jury awarded this sum to a couple who both developed non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma after decades of Roundup use.
- $289 Million Verdict (Dewayne Johnson v. Monsanto) – A school groundskeeper diagnosed with terminal cancer won this landmark case, exposing internal Monsanto documents.
- $80 Million Verdict (Hardeman v. Monsanto) – This case set a precedent by linking Roundup to NHL with strong scientific evidence.
- $10.9 Billion Settlement (2020 Global Agreement) – Bayer agreed to settle tens of thousands of cases, though many new claims continue to emerge.
Despite these massive legal victories for plaintiffs, many cases remain unresolved, and new lawsuits continue to be filed as more individuals are diagnosed with cancers linked to glyphosate exposure.
Who Can File a Roundup Lawsuit?
You may qualify to file a Roundup lawsuit if:
- You were diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, leukemia, or another related cancer.
- You used Roundup regularly in farming, landscaping, gardening, or groundskeeping.
- You were exposed to glyphosate for an extended period at home or in a work setting.

Family members may also have the right to file a wrongful death lawsuit if a loved one passed away due to Roundup-related cancer.
Compensation in Roundup Lawsuits
Victims of Roundup exposure may be eligible for significant financial compensation, including:
- Medical expenses – Cancer treatments, hospital stays, chemotherapy, medications, and long-term care.
- Lost wages – Compensation for time off work due to illness or treatment.
- Pain and suffering – Emotional distress, mental anguish, and reduced quality of life.
- Punitive damages – Additional penalties against Monsanto for corporate negligence.
The average settlement amounts vary depending on the severity of illness, length of exposure, and individual circumstances, but many victims have received substantial payouts for their suffering.
