Five Things You Need to Know about Roundup® Injury Cases

You’ve seen the news. You know that other people who have non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma after using Roundup® weed killer are successfully suing Bayer in court and making significant financial recoveries.

Now, you have a decision to make. Should you pursue your own Roundup® injury case and seek damages? Below are some things to consider before when making this critical decision.

There Must Be a Cancer Diagnosis

In 2015, the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer found that glyphosate, the primary ingredient in Roundup®, is “probably carcinogenic to humans.” People who have non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma after glyphosate exposure have brought successful lawsuits in the United States and recovered significant financial damages. While non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma is the most common type of cancer associated with Roundup® exposure, other types of lymphoma and leukemia may also occur.

To bring a successful lawsuit, you must have a cancer diagnosis, or your loved one must have had a cancer diagnosis before death.

You Must Have Been Exposed to Roundup®

Currently, there is no amount of Roundup® that is known to be safe. If you’ve used Roundup® at home or work, or even if you’ve been exposed to Roundup® regularly in the places you frequent, then you should contact a Roundup® injury lawyer for a free consultation. An experienced attorney knows what questions to ask and what factors to consider when determining whether Roundup® exposure may have caused your cancer.

Your Time to File a Roundup® Injury Case Is Limited by Law

All states have statutes of limitations that limit how long a person has to file a lawsuit. If you file your case after the statute of limitations expires, then you should expect Bayer to motion the court to dismiss your case. The court will grant Bayer’s motion, unless an exception applies, and you won’t recover any financial damages.

For this reason, it is important to consult a lawyer as soon as you can after you are diagnosed with cancer.

Your Recovery May Be Significant, and There Are No Hourly Legal Fees

Cancer has cost you not only substantial physical pain and emotional suffering but also significant financial losses. Your medical bills, even with health insurance, may be high. You may be unable to work at all or unable to earn the same income that you did before you were hurt. Your other bills may be piling up.
