Roundup Settlements

Roundup settlements are legal agreements reached between someone allegedly harmed by the herbicide Roundup and the manufacturers of the chemical, Bayer and Monsanto Company.

Roundup, including its active ingredient, glyphosate, has allegedly been linked to human health risks. In 2015, the International Agency for Research on Cancer updated glyphosate’s classification to “probably carcinogenic to humans.”

Harms allegedly linked to glyphosate and Roundup include non-Hodgkin lymphoma and leukemia. People who have been harmed by Roundup exposure have filed claims against Bayer and Monsanto. These claims may be litigated in court or settled out of court.

Bayer’s Q3 2023 financial report revealed as of October 2023:

• 165,000 total Roundup claims
• 113,000 of those claims settled or otherwise resolved

Roundup claims continue to be filed and some claims receive settlement offers. For example, compare the above numbers to the company’s year-end 2022 financial report numbers. That report mentioned 154,000 total claims as of February 2023, with 109,000 settled or resolved. That means from just February 2023 to October 2023, 11,000 claims were filed and 4,000 were resolved.

Attorneys with toxic exposure litigation experience may be able to help victims file a Roundup lawsuit and although there is never a guarantee, may reach a favorable settlement.

People who have experienced negative effects that they believe were caused by Roundup exposure may be eligible to file a lawsuit. Lawyers with experience handling Roundup litigation can help guide you through the process.

1. Contact a Roundup lawyer. Take the time to review a firm’s records with large toxic exposure lawsuits before you decide who to contact. Reputable firms will have a proven case record and will let you contact them. Firms that reach out unprompted or guarantee settlement amounts may be scams.
2. Determine your eligibility. Your lawyer will discuss a number of factors with you, including your history of Roundup use and exposure.
3. Collect necessary documentation. Your lawyer will help you collect and organize the documents necessary to pursue your claim.
4. File the lawsuit. Once the case is put together with all necessary proof, your lawyer will determine whether a lawsuit should be filed on your behalf. Your lawyer can help you make informed decisions about the process.
