Who Is Eligible for a Roundup Lawsuit?

Anyone who is exposed to Roundup can be eligible for a Roundup lawsuit. The purpose of a lawsuit is to reimburse you for the personal injury and damages that you incurred from being exposed to Roundup and the chemicals in that herbicide product. Roundup is a potent chemical that kills weeds and also can cause cancers in humans. Knowing that you can be seriously injured by Roundup, you may want to prevent any exposure to this toxic chemical. But often people are exposed to Roundup without even knowing it, and that will still put you in harm’s way in regard to the dangerous chemicals in that product. If you are exposed to Roundup and didn’t know it, you may still be eligible for recovering monetary compensation in a personal injury lawsuit. You will want to talk to our legal team at the Law Offices of Gary K. Walch. You can call us at 866-INJURY2 or 866-465-8792, to review your claim for personal injuries that are directly related to your exposure to Roundup herbicide products.

Glyphosate is the active ingredient in Roundup. It is used to kill weeds on a commercial level. But in 2015, the International Agency for Research on Cancer identified glyphosate as being “probably carcinogenic to humans” which means it causes cancer in human beings. Later, there were reports that glyphosate was unlikely to cause a cancer risk to humans for the development of cancers, mutant genes or being toxic for the reproduction process of humans. For this reason, there were conflicting reports of whether glyphosates were cancer causing or not. For instance, in the United States the chemicals were not banned, but used as an herbicide on crops and other industrial applications. Some studies show that humans are indirectly exposed to glyphosates by eating contaminated food that is sprayed with it. This exposure to glyphosates can include eating meats, fruits and also ingesting any vegetables that have come into contact with the suspected deadly chemicals. 

When a person is exposed to Roundup in the concentrations from 50 to 125μg/mL, it can produce a cytotoxic effect in vitro, even where there are concentrations that are lower than the occupational exposures of workers.¹ The toxic ingredient in Roundup is the glyphosate, which is a synthetic herbicide called a broad-spectrum weed killer. It is a post-emergent and non-selective herbicide which is considered strong and effective at its job to kill weeds. If you are pregnant and experience an accidental exposure to Roundup, you can make a claim for the damages to your own health and the health of your unborn baby because of the exposure to Roundup toxic chemicals. Women who are pregnant have an increased risk that their unborn babies will be exposed to the toxicities in Roundup. The glyphosates in Roundup can harm an unborn baby if the mothers are exposed to the toxins during the pregnancy.
