Multiple scientific studies have found a link between glyphosate exposure and an increased risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Because glyphosate is the main ingredient in Roundup, people who have been exposed to this herbicide and developed cancer have the right to file claims against the manufacturer, Monsanto.

If you are suffering from non-Hodgkin lymphoma and have a history of using Roundup, you can file a Roundup cancer injury lawsuit in Philadelphia. At Marrone Law Firm, LLC, we have decades of experience taking on cases against large companies and winning personal injury and defective product lawsuits. Contact us for a consultation today.

The Size of Compensation in a Roundup Case

Some of the most famous cases against Monsanto that ended in significant payouts include:

  • Dewayne Johnson v. Monsanto, in which the jury awarded $289 million (later reduced) after finding that Roundup was a substantial factor in Johnson’s non-Hodgkin lymphoma
  • Edwin Hardeman v. Monsanto, in which Hardeman was awarded $28.3 million for cancer linked to Roundup use
  • Pilliod v. Monsanto, in which the plaintiffs (Alva and Alberta Pilliod) received $2 billion in damages (later reduced to about $90 million) for Roundup-related cancer in their case

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.

The Basis for a Roundup Lawsuit against Monsanto

To file a Roundup cancer injury lawsuit against Monsanto in Philadelphia, a plaintiff should take the following steps.

Establish Exposure to Roundup

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.

Prove a Link Between Exposure and Illness

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.”

Demonstrate Monsanto’s Negligence

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.

Document Damages

To back their claim, the plaintiff must provide evidence of the financial and emotional toll Roundup-related cancer has caused. This includes:

  • Records of treatment costs, including hospital stays, medications, and therapies
  • Pay stubs, tax returns, or employer statements showing loss of earnings due to illness
  • Expert testimony on anticipated medical expenses or diminished earning capacity
  • Testimony from the victim, family members, or therapists about the emotional toll and pain suffered
  • Evidence of how the illness has impacted the victim’s quality of life

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.
