Roundup / Glyphosate Cancer Litigation

Holding Manufacturers Accountable for Cancer-Causing Weed Killers

Titan Legal LLC represents individuals and families who developed non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and related cancers after exposure to Roundup and other glyphosate-based herbicides. For decades, agricultural workers, landscapers, and homeowners trusted Roundup as a safe and effective product — yet mounting evidence and court verdicts have revealed that its manufacturer, Monsanto (now owned by Bayer), failed to warn the public of its serious cancer risks.

Practice Areas: Toxic Torts | Product Liability | Agricultural Law | Personal Injury | Wrongful Death

Who May Have a Claim

You may be eligible for compensation if you:

  • Regularly used Roundup or other glyphosate-based products in your occupation (farming, landscaping, groundskeeping, etc.)
  • Experienced repeated home or property use over several years
  • Were diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma or related cancers after exposure
  • Have medical or employment records linking you to glyphosate exposure

Important Note:

Family members of deceased victims may also pursue wrongful death claims.

What Is Roundup and Why Is It Dangerous?

Roundup, first introduced in the 1970s, is one of the world's most widely used herbicides. Its active ingredient, glyphosate, has been identified by the World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) as a "probable human carcinogen."

How Exposure Occurs

Exposure can occur through:

Direct Application

Mixing, spraying, or applying Roundup on farms or lawns

Inhalation

Inhaling airborne particles during use

Contact & Ingestion

Skin contact or ingestion of residue on produce or soil

Associated Cancers

Studies show a strong association between long-term glyphosate exposure and:

Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma

Primary cancer linked to glyphosate exposure in numerous studies and court cases

Multiple Myeloma

Blood cancer affecting plasma cells

Leukemia

Cancer of blood-forming tissues

Other Immune Cancers

Various immune-system related cancers

Evidence & Litigation History

Thousands of victims have already filed claims in state and federal courts across the U.S., with juries awarding billions of dollars in verdicts against Monsanto for failing to warn of Roundup's dangers.

Despite these verdicts, the product remained on the market for years before recent phase-outs began — meaning new victims continue to emerge.

Federal Multidistrict Litigation

Titan Legal LLC helps clients navigate both federal multidistrict litigation (MDL No. 2741) and individual state court claims, ensuring each case receives the attention and evidence development it deserves.

Evidence Collection & Preservation

Critical Evidence Categories

Exposure Documentation

Obtain and Preserve:

Medical Evidence

  • Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma diagnosis and date
  • Oncology records and pathology reports
  • Treatment history (chemotherapy, radiation, immunotherapy)
  • Biopsy results and staging information
  • Progression notes and response to treatment
  • Differential diagnosis ruling out other causes

Critical Practice Tip:

Establish a clear timeline showing substantial Roundup exposure preceded cancer diagnosis by at least 1-2 years. Expert testimony from oncologists and toxicologists is essential. Cases with decades of occupational exposure have strongest causation evidence.

Discovery Targets Against Monsanto/Bayer

  • Internal Studies: Company research on glyphosate carcinogenicity
  • IARC Response: Company's reaction to WHO classification as "probable carcinogen"
  • Ghostwriting Allegations: Evidence of ghostwritten scientific papers
  • Regulatory Communications: EPA correspondence and safety submissions
  • Warning History: Evolution of product labels over time
  • Marketing Materials: Safety claims made to consumers
  • Prior Verdicts: Use of previous jury findings and court documents

Damages Framework

Economic Damages

  • Medical Expenses: Chemotherapy, radiation, immunotherapy, surgery, hospital stays
  • Future Medical Care: Ongoing monitoring, maintenance therapy, potential recurrence treatment
  • Lost Wages: Time off for treatment and recovery
  • Lost Earning Capacity: Inability to return to physical labor or prior occupation
  • Caregiver Costs: In-home assistance during treatment

Non-Economic Damages

  • Pain and Suffering: Physical pain from cancer and treatment side effects
  • Emotional Distress: Anxiety, depression, fear of recurrence or death
  • Loss of Enjoyment of Life: Inability to work outdoors, engage in hobbies, physical activities
  • Loss of Consortium: Impact on spouse and family
  • Disfigurement: Hair loss, surgical scars, physical changes from treatment

Punitive Damages

Available when Monsanto/Bayer demonstrated:

  • Knowledge of cancer risks dating back decades
  • Deliberate concealment and manipulation of science
  • Continued marketing as safe despite evidence
  • Prioritizing profits over consumer safety
  • Pattern of fraudulent conduct established in prior trials

Billion-Dollar Verdicts

Previous juries have awarded substantial verdicts including punitive damages in the hundreds of millions and billions. While each case is evaluated individually, strong evidence of corporate misconduct supports punitive damage claims.

Client Intake & Case Evaluation

Initial Screening Questions

  1. Occupation and work history? (Farmer, landscaper, groundskeeper, nursery worker)
  2. Years and frequency of Roundup use? (Daily, weekly, seasonal)
  3. Type of Roundup products used? (Concentrate, ready-to-use, professional formulations)
  4. Cancer diagnosis and date? (Must be non-Hodgkin's lymphoma or qualifying cancer)
  5. Who diagnosed? (Oncologist, pathology confirmation)
  6. Exposure timeframe vs. diagnosis? (Must establish exposure preceded diagnosis)
  7. Current treatment status? (Active treatment, remission, progression)
  8. Other potential exposures? (Other pesticides, chemicals, radiation)
  9. Family history of lymphoma? (May affect causation analysis)

Evidence Preservation Instructions

Immediately instruct clients to:

  • Gather all employment records showing herbicide use
  • Obtain complete medical records from all treating physicians
  • Document timeline of Roundup use and cancer diagnosis
  • Preserve receipts, product containers, or photographs
  • Identify witnesses to product use (co-workers, family, neighbors)
  • Collect agricultural records or landscaping contracts
  • Maintain treatment logs and medication records

Strong Case Indicators:

  • Substantial occupational exposure to Roundup for multiple years
  • Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma diagnosis confirmed by pathology
  • Clear timeline: exposure preceded diagnosis
  • Employment or purchase records confirming glyphosate use
  • No strong alternative causation (limited other pesticide exposure)
  • Documented frequency and duration of use
  • Within applicable statute of limitations

MDL Coordination

Roundup cases coordinated in MDL No. 2741 (N.D. California - previously active, now largely resolved through settlements):

  • Settlement Programs: Bayer has established settlement funds for qualifying cases
  • State Court Options: Some cases may proceed in state courts for strategic reasons
  • New Cases: Recent diagnoses continue to emerge as product was sold for years
  • Individual Assessment: Each case evaluated for settlement eligibility or trial potential
