The outcome of a lawsuit against Monsanto depends on many factors, the most important being evidence quality and the skills of a personal injury attorney.
To file a Roundup cancer injury lawsuit against Monsanto in Philadelphia, a plaintiff should take the following steps.
The plaintiff must show that they were exposed to Roundup for a period of time significant enough to cause health issues. Evidence proving such exposure may involve purchase and workplace records, documented usage, and witness statements.
The victim and their legal team must show that Roundup exposure led to cancer, usually non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Evidence demonstrating this can include medical records, expert testimony, and scientific research. For example, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classification of glyphosate as “probably carcinogenic to humans.”
The victim has to demonstrate that Monsanto failed to warn them of the risks associated with Roundup use or acted negligently in developing the product. Evidence that can help prove such negligence may include internal Monsanto documents and product labels. An attorney could also demonstrate that Monsanto tried to conceal negative findings about glyphosate.
To back their claim, the plaintiff must provide evidence of the financial and emotional toll Roundup-related cancer has caused. This includes:
The more evidence the plaintiff can provide, the more compensation they can seek. An attorney from Marrone Law Firm, LLC could collect evidence, advise on its quality, and help present it to the court.
