Roundup Lawsuit Attorneys
Did Roundup Weedkiller Cause Your Cancer or NHL?
Roundup is one of the most popular weedkillers ever sold and produced in the United States. It has also been linked to a significantly increased risk of developing non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL), a rare and often fatal form of cancer. Bayer, the manufacturer of Roundup, has been taken to court numerous times by plaintiffs for selling this seemingly unsafe product without warning consumers. Should you do the same if you used Roundup and were later diagnosed with NHL?
You might be able to file a Roundup injury claim or lawsuit if:
- You used Roundup for your own use or as part of your employment; and,
- You were directly exposed to Roundup, such as spilling or spraying some on your skin; and,
- You were later diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma or leukemia.
You don’t have to wonder if you can file a Roundup lawsuit, though. Discover all your legal options based on your unique situation by coming to Grewal Law PLLC for legal counsel and representation. We would be happy to sit down with you during a free initial consultation to discuss the important details of your case.

Does Roundup Cause Cancer?
The World Health Organization (WHO), the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), and other health and safety groups have all linked glyphosate to higher rates of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and leukemia. Glyphosate has been classified as a “likely carcinogen” and is the active ingredient in Roundup. Certain studies have found that NHL risks increased by 200% among people exposed to glyphosate compared to people who were not exposed to the chemical.
Studies recognized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have concluded that glyphosate is resistant to natural deterioration to the extent that it can seep into the soil under where it is used. With enough use, such as in agricultural settings, soil contamination may lead to groundwater contamination, potentially putting people at risk who did not even use Roundup directly.
Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma Linked to Roundup
Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma is typically considered an extremely rare form of cancer. However, it is inordinately present among people who were exposed to Roundup weedkiller, especially in cases when the weedkiller was sprayed or splashed onto their skin. In one case that went to court, a groundskeeper accidentally spilled Roundup on himself and was reassured that the weedkiller was not harmful to humans, but soon developed severe lesions, tumors, and malformations that may manifest as an NHL symptom.
Common non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma symptoms include:
- Swollen lymph nodes in the neck, groin, and armpits
- Severe chest or abdominal pain
- Breathing difficulties
- Chronic fatigue
- Persistent fever and night sweats
- Rapid and unsafe weight loss
If you have worked with Roundup or lived near where it was often sprayed and are now showing any of the above symptoms, please see your medical provider as soon as possible. Let your doctor know that you think it might be related to Roundup exposure. Only a trained medical professional can provide you with a diagnosis. Be sure to get a copy of any relevant medical records, so you can let our attorneys review them.

Is Bayer Liable for Harm Caused by Roundup?
Lawsuits that have been filed against Bayer argue that the company knew or reasonably should have known that the glyphosate in Roundup was unsafe to consumers and had been linked to non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. In certain lawsuits, it has been argued that Bayer not only knew that Roundup was dangerous but actively hid knowledge about its dangers from the public. Indeed, such arguments have been proven true – at least by the evidential standards of civil courtrooms – several times as Bayer has lost important Roundup lawsuits already.
Three important wins* against Bayer for Roundup-related cancers include:
- $2 billion: Verdict won (and later reduced) for a California couple who were both diagnosed with NHL after using Roundup.
- $289 million: Verdict won (and later reduced) for a groundskeeper who spilled Roundup on himself accidentally.
- $80 million: Verdict won for a Californian who was diagnosed with cancer linked to Roundup use.
(* Past case results cannot guarantee future case results. Past case results can help establish court and legal precedents for similar cases in the future, though.)
