Bayer/Monsanto's Roundup herbicide contains glyphosate, classified as "probably carcinogenic to humans" by the World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) in 2015. Exposed users have developed non-Hodgkin lymphoma and other blood cancers. Bayer has set aside $10.9 billion for settlements after losing three consecutive jury trials.

(888) 555-0199Based on your answers, you may not meet the current eligibility criteria for the Roundup lawsuit. Eligibility typically requires both exposure to glyphosate-based herbicides and a diagnosis of non-Hodgkin lymphoma or a related blood cancer.
If your medical situation changes, or if you believe you were exposed and have received a relevant diagnosis, we encourage you to check again or speak with a legal advocate directly.
Speak with an Advocate AnywayTo qualify for a Roundup glyphosate lawsuit, you generally need to demonstrate two things: regular exposure to Roundup or another glyphosate-based herbicide, and a subsequent diagnosis of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) or a closely related blood cancer.
Both professional and residential users have successfully filed claims. Agricultural workers, landscapers, nursery workers, groundskeepers, and park maintenance employees tend to have the strongest cases due to higher and more prolonged exposure. But homeowners who used Roundup regularly in their yards and gardens have also received significant settlements.
Bayer (which acquired Monsanto in 2018 for $63 billion) has faced over 100,000 Roundup lawsuits. The litigation gained national attention after three consecutive jury trials resulted in massive plaintiff verdicts, each one finding that Roundup caused the plaintiff's non-Hodgkin lymphoma and that Monsanto failed to warn users of the risk.
In June 2020, Bayer announced a $10.9 billion settlement to resolve approximately 75% of the roughly 125,000 filed and unfiled claims at the time. However, the settlement did not include future claims, and new lawsuits continue to be filed. In June 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear Bayer's appeal in the Hardeman case, leaving the appellate court's ruling in favor of the plaintiff intact.
Alva and Alberta Pilliod, a married couple, both developed NHL after using Roundup on their properties for over 30 years. A California jury awarded $2.055 billion in punitive and compensatory damages — later reduced to $86.7 million by the trial judge, a figure that was upheld on appeal.
Dewayne "Lee" Johnson, a school groundskeeper, was the first plaintiff to take Monsanto to trial. Johnson, who had terminal NHL, regularly mixed and sprayed Roundup at work. The jury found Monsanto acted with "malice" and awarded $289 million, later reduced to $78.5 million on appeal.
Edwin Hardeman used Roundup on his residential property for 26 years and was diagnosed with NHL. A federal jury awarded $80 million. This was the first federal bellwether trial, and the Ninth Circuit upheld the verdict. The U.S. Supreme Court declined to review the case in 2022.
New claims are still being accepted.
While Bayer's 2020 settlement resolved many existing cases, litigation continues for new claimants. Statutes of limitations vary by state, so filing sooner is generally better. Bayer continues to sell Roundup, and new diagnoses continue to emerge.
Settlement values in Roundup cases vary significantly based on the nature and duration of exposure, the specific diagnosis, the severity of the illness, and other individual factors. The following tiers reflect the general range based on publicly reported settlements and jury awards.
Factors that affect your settlement value:
Exposure duration — longer use generally means higher compensation. Diagnosis severity — terminal or aggressive cancers typically yield larger awards. Occupation — professional users who handled concentrated product have stronger causation arguments. Age at diagnosis — younger plaintiffs with more lost earning years may receive more. Medical documentation — thorough records linking exposure to diagnosis strengthen the case.
Filing a Roundup claim does not require you to go to court. Most cases settle without a trial. The process starts with a free case evaluation by an attorney who specializes in mass tort litigation. Here is what to expect.
Speak with a legal advocate who will review your exposure history and diagnosis to determine if you have a viable claim. This costs nothing, and there is no obligation to proceed.
Your attorney will help you collect the evidence needed to build your case. Key documents include: medical records confirming your diagnosis, employment records (for professional users showing job duties and duration), purchase receipts or photographs of product use (helpful but not required), and any correspondence with healthcare providers linking your condition to chemical exposure.
Your attorney files the lawsuit on your behalf. You don't need to appear in court. The attorney handles all legal paperwork, correspondence with Bayer's legal team, and negotiation. Mass tort attorneys work on contingency — you pay nothing unless you receive a settlement.
Most Roundup cases settle through negotiation without going to trial. Your attorney will advise you on any settlement offer and whether it fairly reflects your damages. You always have the final say on whether to accept. If no fair settlement is reached, your case can proceed to trial.
Documents that help your case:
Medical records — diagnosis reports, pathology results, treatment records. Employment records — for professional users, job descriptions, pay stubs, or employer statements confirming herbicide use. Purchase records — store receipts, credit card statements, or photos showing Roundup products. Witness statements — co-workers, family members, or neighbors who can confirm your use of Roundup. Don't worry if you can't locate all of these — your attorney can work with what's available.
