Developing Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma from Roundup Exposure?

cartwrightlaw - April 11, 2022 -

When a product placed on the market harms consumers because of a defect, the person harmed can sue the manufacturer of the defective product for compensation. Roundup, which is a product that has been on the market since 1974, has been linked to Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, which is a serious form of cancer.

At The Cartwright Law Firm, we help affected clients in California file lawsuits against Bayer, the current manufacturer of Roundup products.

Qualification to File a Monsanto Roundup Lawsuit

Qualifying to file a Roundup lawsuit mostly requires having a diagnosis of Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (NHL) and demonstrating that you were at some point exposed to Roundup before your diagnosis.

However, you are more likely to have an increased risk of developing NHL because of Roundup exposure if you make your livelihood in certain occupations such as:

Farmers and field workers
Home and Professional Gardeners
Landscapers
Agricultural workers of any kind
Herbicide and Pesticide applicators and handlers

Warning Signs and Symptoms of Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma

NHL is a form of cancer that typically causes problems with the immune system. Because cancer attacks the immune system, its warning signs and symptoms vary from individual to individual. Examples of the more commonly experienced symptoms of NHL include:

Chills
Fever
Cough
Fatigue
Sudden fluctuation of weight gain or loss
Swollen abdomen
Shortness of breath
Chest pain
Easy bruising or bleeding after a minor injury

The Statute of Limitations

Like all other product liability cases, the law places a deadline by which an NHL-related case can be filed. In California, this statute of limitations for injury claims is two years, meaning you must have your case filed no later than two years after you first found out that you have NHL. So, if you or your loved one had NHL less than two years ago, then you or your loved one can file an NHL case. Keep in mind the time starts counting when you or your loved one was, in fact, diagnosed with the disease. A lawyer can advise you of the timeline you have available in your case.

What a Roundup Lawyer Can Do for You

Filing a products liability claim is complicated, and only an experienced products liability lawyer can help you get the most compensation possible from your lawsuit. You can obtain compensation for several things, including the following:

Present and future medical bills, including chemotherapy and other related cancer treatment
Lost income or wages
Loss of consortium
Disability
Mental anguish
Pain and suffering
Wrongful death

If you or a loved one has suffered or if your loved one died from Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma caused by Roundup, our law firm is assessing and accepting claims to determine eligibility for a settlement. We can also pursue other compensation for you.
