The pharmaceutical company Bayer AG has resolved about 96,000 of approximately 125,000 U.S. product liability claims filed against Roundup-a glyphosate-based herbicide linked to non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (and other diseases). Bayer AG (Monsanto) has paid nearly $11 billion in block settlement arrangements with the plaintiffs’ lawyers so far. 

Roundup Lawsuit Update: December 2021

Bayer AG stock has dipped nearly 53 percent since acquiring Monsanto in 2018. A huge reason behind the sharp decline is the swarms of Roundup-related lawsuits Bayer started battling that same year. To date, Bayer AG has awarded nearly $11 billion in compensation for personal injury claims and class action lawsuits in the U.S. 

• Bayer AG faces a class-action lawsuit in Germany from over 250 investors claiming the pharmaceutical giant deceived them by hiding the risk of acquiring Monsanto Co. 
• Bayer wins its second consecutive jury trial against a cancer patient, Donnetta Stephens, who claimed that using Roundup weedkiller resulted in her non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) diagnosis in 2017. The jury concluded that Stephens’ cancer was not related to Roundup use. The trial is among the few Roundup litigations to come out in favor of Bayer. 
• The Supreme Court asks U.S. Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar for the Biden administration’s input on whether the court should review Bayer’s appeal of a $25 million verdict to a Roundup cancer trial’s plaintiff, Edwin Hardeman. Following this request, Bayer announces it is pausing any further Roundup claim settlements until the appeal’s outcome. 

Roundup Lawsuit Update: November 2021

California’s high court upholds its multi-million-dollar verdict in damages to a Livermore couple. 

• The California Supreme Court rejects Bayer’s request to appeal an $86.7 million verdict for a Livermore couple diagnosed with cancer after years of spraying Roundup weed killer on their property. 

Roundup Lawsuit Update: October 2021

A jury sides with Bayer, granting the company its first jury win. Bayer tries to dismiss a class-action lawsuit from investors against the pharma giant. 

• Bayer AG scores its first win in a case over a mother’s claims that the herbicide was responsible for her son’s rare form of NHL. Ezra Clark’s mother argued that he only developed cancer after being exposed to Roundup, which she sprayed on weeds at their home. Bayer’s lawyers tell the jury that Ezra’s limited exposure to the product could not have resulted in his illness. Ultimately, the jury sides with Bayer AG.
• Bayer asks a federal judge to dismiss a class-action lawsuit that claims the company defrauded its shareholders by not doing enough due diligence and downplaying the litigation risks associated with acquiring Monsanto. Bayer asserts that the acquisition only seems poor in hindsight. Its stock price has continued to plummet since the first Roundup-related litigation in 2018, and shareholders feel misled. 
• A federal judge rules that investors can continue to sue Bayer for misleading them about the pharma giant’s quality of due diligence done on Monsanto before its acquisition. However, the judge declines to advance the class action lawsuit in its entirety, rejecting the allegation that Bayer did not convey the full extent of litigation risks, as the company could not have accurately calculated its potential losses.

Roundup Lawsuit Update: September 2021

The Donnetta Stephens v. Monsanto lawsuit progresses. Stephens’ son testifies, and Monsanto scientist defends Roundup’s safety. 

• The Donnetta Stephens trial, centered on a woman diagnosed with NHL after using Roundup weed killer for more than 30 years, continues in California. Her son testifies about his mother’s use of Roundup while gardening. 
• Monsanto’s lawyer cross-examines Donnetta Stephens over her claims that Roundup killer caused her NHL. Stephens states that she has difficulty remembering specific details of using Roundup and struggles to answer questions. 
• Monsanto’s toxicologist, Donna Farmer, tells the jury that Roundup weed killer is safe for humans and that she uses it regularly in her own home and recommends it to her friends. 

Roundup Lawsuit Update: August 2021

A U.S. Government scientist testifies in the fourth Roundup cancer trial against Bayer. An appeals court upholds another verdict against Bayer. California requires the plaintiff to participate in the settlement process. 

• A California appeals court upholds a $86 million verdict that found Roundup weed killer responsible for a couple’s cancer. Following the loss, Bayer files a petition with the U.S. Supreme Court to reverse the appeals court’s verdict. 
• Dr. Christopher Portier, a former U.S. Government scientist, testifies as an expert witness in Donnetta Stephens’ lawsuit against Monsanto. In his testimony, he states that he believes glyphosate herbicide exposure could result in the development of NHL.  
• The Northern District of California requires current and future Monsanto Glyphosate Multidistrict Program (MDL) litigants who have yet to settle with Bayer to participate in the settlement process. The claimants will have to submit information adhering to a schedule, after which the information will be challenged and evaluated before being awarded. 

Roundup Lawsuit Update: July 2021

Bayer announces its plans to remove glyphosate from its weed killer product line. New trials begin in California. Bayer proposes additional funds to cover Roundup-related lawsuits. 

• Bayer says it plans to remove its glyphosate-based products, including Roundup, from retail stores by 2023 and replace them with a new formulation with alternative active ingredients. The company states that this move was made to avoid expensive lawsuits in the future and not due to safety concerns. The original product will still be available to professionals and large-scale agricultural operations. 
• Bayer claims to set aside an additional $4.5 billion to cover litigation related to Roundup, per Reuters.
• A new trial starts in a California courtroom for plaintiff Donnetta Stephens, who used Roundup for over 30 years and claims the herbicide caused her NHL in 2017. This will be the fourth trial over Roundup weed killer causing NHL. 
• Plaintiff Michael Langford files a new Roundup lawsuit in California. Langford was diagnosed with NHL in 2007 and subsequently developed other cancers. He had been spraying Roundup on his 5.5-acre property since 1985. 

Roundup Lawsuit Update: June 2021

Bayer hints at pulling glyphosate-based products from residential use. 

• Bayer proposes removing glyphosate from Roundup weed killer but states that the original version will still be available to professional and agricultural users. 
• Bayer urges the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to rule that federal law preempts failure-to-warn claims. The company contends that since the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) did not find glyphosate to be a likely carcinogen, Bayer could not be required to warn customers of cancer risk. 

Roundup Lawsuit Update: May 2021

A federal appeals court upholds its $25 million verdict against Bayer, finding that Roundup did cause a California resident’s NHL. Later in the month, a U.S. judge deals another blow to Bayer by rejecting its settlement offer for future claims. 

• A federal appeals court in San Francisco upholds its $25 million verdict for Edwin Hardeman, whose case, Bayer argues, should never have gone to trial.
• U.S. District Judge Vince Chhabria advises Bayer AG to consider including a warning label on Roundup pesticide as part of their proposed $2 billion settlement deal. Doing so would prevent new lawsuits and free more funds for victims. 
• Judge Chhabria rejects Bayer’s attempt to settle future cancer claims with its $2 billion settlement offer. 
• Bayer outlines a new 5-action plan. One of the strategies includes reformulating the Roundup product to remove glyphosate. 

Roundup Lawsuit Update: April 2021

Lead plaintiff’s attorneys accuse Bayer of a “pay to appeal” scheme, which Bayer later dismisses as “inflammatory rhetoric.” 

• The lead lawyers who litigated three successful trials and made Bayer pay $11 billion in a settlement claim to have found evidence of a deal between Monsanto and a plaintiff’s lawyer. The legal team asks the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit to dismiss the case, as they said Monsanto attempted to buy a favorable appellate ruling.
• Monsanto denies the assertion, calling it “inflammatory rhetoric and mistaken assertions.” Monsanto’s lawyer, Michael Imbroscio, further stated, “Non-parties do not have a veto right over another plaintiff’s litigation strategy because they would prefer, for their own self-interested reasons, that a federal court of appeals not decide an important question of federal law.”

Roundup Lawsuit Update: March 2021

The outrage against Bayer’s proposed settlement gains traction. Bayer backs out of an appeal request against one plaintiff’s litigation. Attorneys leading litigations demand more money. 

• Along with lawyers expressing their disapproval of Bayer’s proposed $2 billion settlement for future lawsuits, people living with cancer ask a federal judge to reject the proposed settlement. 
• Bayer announces it will not appeal a $20 million settlement verdict against Dewayne Johnson, who claimed Roundup caused his NHL, bringing the litigation to a close.
• Law firms representing litigation against Bayer AG argue that they deserve a bigger slice of the $9.6 billion in compensation the pharma giant agreed to pay to resolve 125,000 claims. U.S. District Judge Vince Chhabria denies the request to give the legal counsel about $800 million in attorney fees. 

Roundup Lawsuit Update: February 2021

Bayer reaches a settlement to cover future personal injury claims by NHL victims exposed to Roundup before being diagnosed with cancer. 

• Bayer AG proposes to earmark $2 billion over a four-year settlement period to cover claimants’ compensation and other medical assistance. Each claimant could potentially receive up to $200,000 under this plan.
• Lawyers object to Bayer’s proposed plan, saying the current Roundup users who develop cancer will be automatically subjected to the class settlement regulations and, unless they opt out within a specific period, will not be able to sue Bayer in the future for punitive damages.

Roundup Lawsuit Update: January 2021

Bayer closes one more case. Plus, glyphosate-based pesticides are banned from use on state-owned properties in New York.

• Bayer settles a wrongful death case with plaintiff Jamie Alvarez Calderon, who worked in a winery for 33 years and applied Monsanto’s herbicides across acres of property every day. He went home with his clothes drenched in the herbicide each day. He was diagnosed with NHL in 2014 and succumbed to cancer in December 2020. Alvarez’s settlement amount will go to his four sons. 
• New York announces plans to ban the use of glyphosate on all state properties by the end of 2021. 

You May Qualify for a Roundup Settlement Claim

Monsanto’s Roundup continues to be a widely used herbicide. Farmers, landscapers, and gardeners continue to use this product, unaware of its cancer-causing potential. 

There’s mounting evidence Monsanto was aware of the product’s carcinogenic effects but continued to sell this herbicide to consumers for decades while proactively trying to bury evidence of Roundup’s toxic impact. 

Companies like Monsanto and Bayer AG must be held accountable. While the company has agreed to $10 billion in compensation, it still has not added warning labels or stopped selling the product. It has not admitted any liability or offered any apology for causing serious harm to many people worldwide. 

Connect With a Lawyer to Get Started

If you or a loved one developed cancer or another disease after prolonged exposure to Monsanto’s Roundup weed killer, you may have grounds to pursue a Roundup settlement claim by joining a mass tort. 

A settlement will help you hold the company accountable and may cover the costs of medical treatments, job loss, and other trauma you may have suffered because of Bayer’s negligence. 

Fill out our contact form today to connect with a mass tort lawsuit lawyer in our network. 

If you have evidence to show that you used Roundup weedkiller and later developed non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, you may have a viable case for compensation against manufacturer Bayer AG. 

Proving you used Roundup may not be as hard as it seems. Your RoundUp Lawsuit attorney will work with you to gather the necessary evidence, including receipts, partially used containers, invoices for landscaping work, or even proof you worked in an industry where herbicide exposure is likely. 

How Do I Know if I Am Eligible for a Roundup Claim?

While plaintiffs must prove several factors to hold Bayer AG responsible and recover compensation, the most important to your case are:

• You used a glyphosate-based herbicide over a long period or had other exposure to Roundup.
• You later received a non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma diagnosis or have another qualifying cancer.
• You are still within the statute of limitations in your state.

Most people who have proven a link between Roundup and their later cancer diagnosis worked in industries where handling glyphosate-a key ingredient in Roundup-would be the norm. This includes: 

• Lawn care workers
• Golf course maintenance
• Agricultural workers
• Landlords or those who maintained their own large property
• Workers from glyphosate product plants
• Anyone who has a history of significant exposure, such as a large spill

However, others could qualify as well. If you believe you meet the initial criteria to file a lawsuit, you should discuss your options with an attorney handling Roundup litigation. They can determine the statute of limitations and discuss the latest in this case with you. They will also offer advice and guidance on your next steps. 

What Are the Claims Against Bayer AG?

Some of the glyphosate weedkiller cancer claims are based on failure to warn, which requires proof that: 

• The risks of Roundup were known to Bayer AG or generally accepted among researchers.
• Bayer AG continued to manufacture and market Roundup.
• The danger from Roundup occurred when the product was used in a reasonable and foreseeable way.
• The company failed to adequately warn of the potential risks.
• The plaintiff’s damages could have been prevented with proper warnings.

Because the plaintiffs in these product liability cases are working together through multidistrict litigation, the evidence is available to potentially prove several types of cases. These include failure to warn, defective design, and negligent manufacture and marketing.

You could have a case if you have a history of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and exposure to glyphosate herbicides such as Roundup. It may be possible to win a jury verdict or get a settlement to help you pay for your medical care and other losses. There is still time to act.

Diagnosed With Cancer After Roundup Use?

Plaintiffs participating in the Roundup litigation have physicians working on their behalf to confirm their diagnosis and explain how it changed their lives. In these cases, providing details to the courts can emphasize why this litigation is necessary. Medical experts can help juries understand: 

• How this type of cancer affects the body
• The necessary treatments
• How cancer treatment affects the patient’s quality of life
• The patient’s long-term prognosis 
• Whether the cancer is likely to return 

This is important so that the juries hearing these lawsuits understand the impact of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma on the individual and their family. This knowledge plays a role in proving economic and non-economic damages. It also ensures that Bayer AG and Monsanto cannot shrug off the consequences of continuing to sell their dangerous weedkiller. 

If you do not yet have a diagnosis but believe you may have glyphosate-related cancer, you should see a doctor as soon as possible. Early detection and treatment give you the best chance at beating the cancer and going into remission. Meanwhile, an attorney can assist with your compensation claim.

An Attorney Can Review the Strength of Your Case

The personal injury lawyers handling glyphosate herbicide litigation are reviewing these cases for free. If requested, they will meet with you to discuss: 

• Your diagnosis and treatment
• Your prognosis
• Your history with Roundup products
• The future of these cases

Law firms handle these cases based on contingency, meaning they are not asking for any upfront payments. Instead, their attorney’s fee will be a percentage of the compensation won.

What Type of Cancer Has Roundup Been Linked To?

Lymphatic cancer is at the center of the glyphosate exposure lawsuits, especially non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. A body of scientific research supports the link between this cancer and Roundup. 

One 2019 study found that participants with glyphosate exposure developed non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma at a rate that was 41 percent greater than those who had not used the weedkiller. This study was conducted by researchers at the University of Washington and published in Mutation Research.It documented a significant link between the use of these weedkillers and the development of this particular type of lymphatic cancer. 

More About Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma

According to the American Cancer Society, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma is one of the most common cancers. It affects:

• About 1 in 41 men and 1 in 52 women during their lifetime
• Around 81,500 people each year
• People of all ages, although males are slightly more likely

With the commonality of this cancer (as many as 4 percent of all cancers diagnosed) and the widespread use of Roundup and other glyphosate herbicides, many more people could qualify to join the ongoing litigation against Bayer AG.

What Are Common Symptoms of Cancer Caused by Roundup?

According to the American Cancer Society, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma symptoms could depend on where in the body this cancer occurs. Sometimes, there are no apparent symptoms until the tumor reaches an advanced stage. However, if you have a history of glyphosate exposure and experience any of the following symptoms, you should discuss them with your doctor. 

Signs and symptoms of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma include:

• Swollen lymph nodes
• Chills and difficulty maintaining appropriate body temperature
• Unexplained weight loss
• Fatigue
• Swollen abdomen sometimes accompanied by feeling full quickly when eating
• Chest pain or pressure
• Shortness of breath
• Unexplained cough
• Severe or frequent infections 
• Bruising or bleeding significantly from small injuries

Some people may experience “B symptoms” instead of or in addition to their other symptoms. This can include: 

• Chronic fevers without known infections
• Significant night sweats
• Loss of at least 10 percent body weight over six months without trying

Do You Qualify: Roundup Cancer Lawsuit Settlement Claim Review

The Roundup cancer lawsuits are headed for a global settlement. This settlement will include payments for those involved in the ongoing litigation and a fund earmarked for those who receive a diagnosis in the coming years. While the court has already approved a payout for current plaintiffs, there is still ongoing discussion about how funding will work for future claims as of January 2022. 

Most Roundup lawsuits were consolidated into MDL 2741 Roundup Products Liability Litigation in October of 2016. Since that time, MDL 2741 has gone through discovery, pretrial motions, and several bellwether trials. There were around 4,000 lawsuits still pending on December 15, 2021, according to a report from the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (JPML). 

Three Roundup lawsuits have gone before juries in this MDL to date, and all three juries chose to award losses and punitive damages to the plaintiffs. This is a factor in why Bayer AG has attempted to reach a global settlement with most of the remaining claimants.

The Global Settlement for Victims of Roundup Exposure

Bayer AG is offering what it calls a “five-point plan to close the Roundup litigation.” This includes: 

• Settling roughly 96,000 of the 125,000 pending cases
• Asking the U.S. Supreme Court to rule that the demands of remaining plaintiffs are unreasonable
• Set aside around $4.5 billion to manage remaining and future claims
• Reformulate their residential products without glyphosate beginning in 2023
• Offer consumers more transparency with information and research on glyphosate products

What remains to be seen is how Bayer AG and subsidiary Monsanto will manage the remaining lawsuits already in progress and how they will handle future claims. The judge overseeing the MDL has expressed a desire to see a better, more comprehensive, and longer plan to manage potential lawsuits over the coming years.

Who Can File a Roundup Lawsuit?

While many Roundup cancer lawsuits are coming to an end with settlements or awards, others are just beginning. Some will not occur for several more years because of the time it takes the cancer to develop and a diagnosis to be made. Those who have not yet filed may still have time to do so. 

You may have a case if you or a loved one was exposed to a glyphosate-based herbicide such as Roundup and later diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Your mass tort lawyer will help you show:

• You used or were exposed to Roundup.
• You received a diagnosis of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma diagnosis or another lymphatic cancer.

The judge overseeing the Roundup multidistrict litigation is requiring the company to set up a plan for those who will develop this cancer later on. Still, your best chance at justice is to file your claim as soon as possible. If you receive a diagnosis, connect with a lawyer to discuss your rights right away.

How Long Do I Have to File a Roundup Lawsuit?

As of January 2022, Bayer AG is in the process of settling many Roundup cancer claims and trying to avoid paying out more than the company believes is fair in other cases by going to the U.S. Supreme Court. However, this does not mean that the time has passed to file your own case and pursue compensation. 

Plaintiffs in the ongoing litigation have shown they have strong evidence, and the juries that heard the initial bellwether trials agreed. Their verdicts and significant punitive awards show that:  

• The evidence shows Roundup and other glyphosate-based weedkillers are dangerous and defective.
• Monsanto and Bayer AG failed to warn consumers of risks associated with their products.
• The companies were negligent when they manufactured and distributed these dangerous products.

The only way to receive punitive damages is to take a case to court and have a jury decide the defendant acted in a particularly harmful way. In the first three Roundup cancer bellwether trials, the punitive damages awarded were significant. These cases include: 

Johnson v. Monsanto (2018)

This school groundskeeper received $289.2 million, including ​​$39.2 million in compensatory damages and $250 million in punitive damages. The court denied Bayer AG’s appeal.

Hardeman v. Monsanto (2019)

The initial award was $80.2 million, including $5.2 million in compensatory damages and $75 million in punitive damages. However, it was later reduced to $25.2 million on appeal. This is the case currently waiting to hear from the U.S. Supreme Court.

Pilliod v. Monsanto (2019)

This case featured a couple who both developed cancer. The jury awarded them $2.055 billion, although Monsanto later appealed, and the court reduced the total to around $87 million. They initially received awards of $37 million and $18 million in compensatory damages and $1 billion each in punitive damages.

As you can imagine, this was not the start Bayer AG and Monsanto wanted in these cases. Settling out of court seemed like the best course of action since they wanted to avoid paying out such significant awards to thousands of claimants. We do not yet know details of the individual settlements accepted, but NPR reported that the company earmarked around $10 billion to end litigation in cases involving:

• Glyphosate herbicides, including Roundup
• Dicamba herbicides
• Polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) water contamination

The majority of this settlement is set aside for current cases in the Roundup litigation, which is by far the largest of the three. This will likely account for between $8.8 billion and $9.6 billion of the total. More will be held in a fund for future claims, although how much and how this will be handled remains to be seen. 

Consult a Roundup Lawsuit Attorney About Your Options

If you believe you may have a Roundup cancer case, you can discuss your rights and options with a mass tort lawsuit attorney well-versed in this case during a free consultation. Call 800-874-8678 to get started. You may be able to seek and recover compensation while holding the negligent parties legally responsible. 

If you or a loved one has used Roundup and been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, or other related cancers, you could be entitled to receive compensation. In 2015, the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research (IARC) report stated an active ingredient in Monsanto Roundup weed killer contains probable carcinogens. The ingredient in question is glyphosate, which has been suspected to cause non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. 

When it comes to how much you can get from Roundup lawsuits, it is important to remember that settlement amounts vary according to each person’s case and the details of their case. If you connect with us, we can inform you of your rights and options to file a lawsuit against the manufacturers of Roundup. We can also help you find the right lawyer or law firm for your case.

Average Numbers for Your Roundup Settlement

At this time, there is no reliable way to predict the amount of money you could be rewarded in a Roundup settlement. Each case is different, and there are never any guarantees when it comes to settlements. It is always possible that some claimants may not receive any compensation. Our mass tort lawsuit lawyers can discuss what your individual case could look like. We have experience with Roundup cases and will have knowledge of how much these cases are settling for.

How Is My Damage Award Calculated?

A Roundup injury claim’s value is based on the extent of damages the person suffered. Damages are a legal term that refers to a sum of money claimed or awarded in compensation for a loss or injury. They can include economic and non-economic losses. Economic losses include monetary losses, such as medical expenses. Non-economic losses include non-monetary losses, such as pain and suffering. 

Each individual damage reward is calculated based on the monetary amount of economic losses and non-economic losses. Our network’s attorneys can calculate and assign a dollar amount to non-economic losses in your case.

Injuries You Suffered

The most common injury associated with Roundup is a form of cancer called non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Other types of cancer, including leukemia, B-cell lymphoma, and multiple myeloma, have also been linked to Roundup products. 

It is important to know the common symptoms of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and other types of Roundup-related cancers to seek care as quickly as possible. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), these symptoms include: 

• Swollen lymph nodes, which are enlarged lymph nodes close to the surface of the body, are usually located in the groin, underarms, or side of the neck. They may be seen or felt as lumps under the skin. This is a common symptom of lymphoma but could also appear because of an infection.
• Fever that can come and go throughout several weeks without the appearance of infection.
• Night sweats, which are repeated episodes of extreme perspiration that may soak your nightclothes or bedding. 
• Constant fatigue that lasts for at least six months.
• A substantial weight loss or at least 10% of body weight over the period of six months 
• Feeling full after only a small amount of food
• Easy bruising or bleeding 

Many of these symptoms can also be related to other illnesses, so it is important to speak with your medical care provider if you exhibit any of these. Other conditions not related to cancer associated with Roundup exposure include: 

• Anemia: A condition marked by a deficiency of red blood cells or hemoglobin in the blood. This can cause excessive bleeding.
• Respiratory illness: A type of disease that affects the lungs and other parts of the respiratory system.
• Alzheimer’s disease: Progressive mental deterioration that can occur in middle or old age. This is due to generalized degeneration. 
• Parkinson’s disease: A progressive disease of the nervous system marked by a tremor, rigidity, and imprecise movement. 
• Celiac disease: A disease in which the small intestine is hypersensitive to gluten, leading to difficulty digesting food.
• Colitis: Inflammation of the colon’s lining, which can cause weight loss, abdominal cramping, and anemia. 
• Diabetes: A disease in which the body’s ability to produce or respond to the hormone insulin is impaired.  
• Depression: Feelings of severe despondency and dejection.
• Kidney and liver damage: As the kidneys stop functioning, toxins can then be released into the body. This can then lead to liver failure.

Income, Wages You Lost

Treatments for non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma can be time-consuming and damaging to your body. Many people who undergo these treatments cannot work during this time or in the future. It is possible to recover compensation for past, present, and future missed earnings.

The following are ways you can receive compensation for lost wages: 

• Missed work: It can be impossible for some to work through non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma treatments. Keeping a log of the amount of money lost due to missed work is important when recovering damages. If you had to miss work due to treatments, doctor’s appointments, or any other reason due to a Roundup-related illness, you could possibly recover those losses.
• Future earning capacity: If the disease or treatment means you can’t return to your job in the same capacity, you could be compensated. 

Pain and Suffering

Damages could be awarded for physical and emotional pain. Chemotherapy and radiation therapy are common treatments for non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and can be very taxing on the body. This can include the physical pain you have endured in the past, present, and future. 

Emotional pain is another form of non-economic damages because of a Roundup-related cancer diagnosis. This can be any type of negative emotion a person experiences while undergoing cancer treatments. Examples of these emotions include but are not limited to 

• Anxiety
• Depression
• Loss of enjoyment of life
• Anger
• Appetite loss
• Fear 

Many factors can affect the value of pain and suffering a plaintiff can receive. Some of these include: 

• Staying consistent regarding their injuries
• Whether the diagnosis and the extent of the pain and suffering align
• If a medical care provider can support their pain and suffering claims

Since pain and suffering is considered a non-economic loss, it can be difficult to calculate those damages. There are ways to calculate pain and suffering to come up with a fair amount. A personal injury attorney can assign a value to your loss.

Punitive Damages

Punitive damages go beyond compensating the plaintiff. They are designed to punish the defendant who was acting negligently. The goal of these damages is to deter the defendant from acting in a similar way in the future. If awarded, punitive damages are issued on top of other damages the plaintiff is due. The requirements for punitive damages to be awarded include:

• Clear and convincing evidence that the defendant disregarded the others’ safety.
• The defendant’s actions were intentional and grossly negligent.
• Assessing similar cases to determine if punitive damages were awarded.
• The agreed-upon damages must be a reasonable amount for the harm that was caused.

Cost of past and future medical care

If you have been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, all medical costs associated with your diagnosis could be included in your case’s damages. The American Cancer Society has provided examples of possible costs associated with having non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma:

• Testing: If the possibility of cancer is present, various tests need to be run, such as an X-ray, MRI, and CT scan. These can be costly even after insurance.
• Treatments: To remove as much of the cancer as possible, some patients undergo surgery. Other treatments include but are not limited to chemotherapy, radiation, bone marrow transplants, targeted drug therapy, stem-cell transplants, and immunotherapy. 
• Hospital stays: While recovering from surgery or going through chemotherapy, some patients may be required to stay in the hospital until they appear healthy enough to go home.
• Medications: There are countless medications cancer patients need to take. These can be costly and need to be refilled often. 

Damages Also Include Future Medical Expenses

When someone receives a cancer diagnosis, the treatment plan could be long. Medical bills can accumulate quickly and continue for a long period of time. Tests will need to be run periodically after remission to monitor the condition, which can be costly. It is important to understand the prognosis of health-related issues due to exposure to Roundup to recover the damages you deserve. 

Roundup Settlement Amounts: Potential Payouts for Victims

It remains unknown what potential settlement amounts will be paid out to victims. The exact amount the victims will be awarded will depend on the strength of the evidence provided. Bayer, the current manufacturing company of Roundup, has denied that its product causes cancer. Roundup still contains the chemical glyphosate that WHO deemed as a probable carcinogen.

Factors that influence a Roundup settlement amount could include: 

• Evidence that the victim was regularly exposed to Roundup. The length of time and exposure concentration will factor into the possible settlement amount.
• When the plaintiff was diagnosed with the disease associated with Roundup use
• If the plaintiff’s filing is within their state’s statute of limitations
• The individual’s preexisting health conditions
• The monetary amount of recoverable damages 
• The injury’s impact on the overall quality of life

It is possible to receive a settlement because of the damages brought on by Roundup use. A personal injury attorney can give you an idea of what a settlement amount could look like for your specific case.

Payouts are underway in MDL 2741 Roundup Products Liability Litigation. As of December 15, 2021, only about 4,000 lawsuits remain in this multidistrict litigation (MDL), according to the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (JPML). There are no known settlement amounts as of January 2022. 

These lawsuits allege that Bayer AG and subsidiary Monsanto manufacture and distribute Roundup weedkiller despite the increased risk of developing certain types of cancer-primarily non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. In the three MDL bellwether trials, the juries awarded plaintiffs significant compensation and punitive damages.

Scoring Plaintiffs

Unlike class action lawsuits, where all plaintiffs receive a relatively equal share of the pot, settlements in multidistrict litigation work differently. Each plaintiff’s case is evaluated, and they receive individual settlement offers, or the defendants offer agreements in levels. This is sometimes called a tiered settlement. 

To calculate the settlement value of each case, a third-party administrator considers the facts and then scores the plaintiff based on them. Considerations in the Roundup litigation include:

• Age
• The type of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma
• Details about their diagnosis
• The severity of their cancer
• The required treatment
• Their documented exposure to glyphosate
• Other risk factors for developing this type of cancer

Of course, plaintiffs do not have to accept a settlement offer based on this scoring. They can continue to demand an agreement they believe is reasonable, which is what has occurred with many of the remaining Roundup cases. Bayer AG claims to have settled about 96,000 of the original 125,000 cases against them. 

While it may seem like this litigation is coming to an end, there may still be time to act. The courts are requiring Bayer AG and Monsanto to establish a fund for:

• Those who have a non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma diagnosis but have not taken action
• Those who have exposure but do not yet have cancer 

If you or a loved one used a glyphosate herbicide, you should pay close attention to this case. If you already have a non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma diagnosis, it is time to discuss your options with an attorney. They can help you prove:

• You had long-term or major exposure to glyphosate.
• You received a non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma diagnosis.
• There is a link between this herbicide and your cancer.
• You suffered significant physical, emotional, and financial harm.

Injuries You Suffered

Cancer can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to diagnose and treat. In addition, there are ongoing care and monitoring costs for at least the first five years following diagnosis and treatment. In addition, expenses related to travel for treatment, renting a wheelchair and other equipment, building ramps, and other costs add up quickly. 

These expenses may be recoverable through a Roundup lawsuit. Your mass tort lawyer can help you gather medical bills, receipts, and other proof to support your claim. 

Income/Wages You Lost

If you were working at the time of your diagnosis, you likely had to take significant time away from your job. Going on extended leave is common with any type of cancer diagnosis and treatment. This is especially true if your job requires extensive hands-on labor, such as lawn maintenance, agriculture, landscaping, and other professions where glyphosate herbicides are commonly used.

You may be able to get information about your missed pay from your employer, or your legal team will help you document the lost income your family experienced. 

Pain and Suffering

Pain, suffering, and other intangible losses are more difficult to put a price on than medical bills or missed paychecks. However, they are a significant source of stress when battling cancer. You deserve to recover compensation for your mental and emotional suffering in addition to physical and financial damages. 

Your RoundUp Lawsuit lawyer will know how to put a fair value on your pain and suffering losses and demand fair compensation for them during settlement negotiations. 

Punitive Damages

To date, punitive damages have played a significant role in Roundup lawsuits that went before a jury. This includes all three bellwether trials in MDL 2741 heard in San Francisco. While it was later reduced on appeal, one jury even awarded two plaintiffs $1 billion each in punitive damages.

Punitive damages do not compensate plaintiffs for their expenses or losses incurred. Instead, they penalize the defendant for their particularly bad behavior. When a large multinational corporation such as Bayer AG commits negligence, a fine worth several thousands of dollars will not be enough to teach them a lesson and deter others from the same behavior. 

This is why juries often opt for multi-million dollar punitive awards in high-profile lawsuits against large corporations. Punitive damages are only available at trial and are awarded by juries.

Roundup Settlement Amounts: What Can Victims Expect?

It is difficult to know what victims can expect from settlement negotiations in the Roundup lawsuits. While settlements have apparently taken place, there are no public announcements, and we do not know enough to establish a range for them at this time. 

What we do know is that juries agreed with the plaintiffs and determined there was strong evidence to show: 

• There is a link between glyphosate-based weed killers and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
• Ongoing or significant exposure to Roundup is a causative factor in cancer development.
• Bayer AG and other manufacturers failed to warn consumers adequately.
• The companies acted negligently by continuing to manufacture and distribute dangerous and defective products.

Consider the verdicts, including the punitive damages, awarded in the first three bellwether cases in the Roundup MDL: 

Johnson v. Monsanto (2018)

• Plaintiff: A school groundskeeper with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma
• Jury award: $289.2 million
• Breakdown:  ​​$39.2 million in compensatory damages and $250 million in punitive damages
• Appeal: Won by plaintiff

Hardeman v. Monsanto (2019)

• Plaintiff: Edwin Hardeman, who used Roundup for more than two decades on his 56-acre property and later developed non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma
• Jury award: $80.2 million, reduced by the judge to $25.2 million 
• Breakdown: $5.2 million in compensatory damages and $75 million in punitive damages
• Appeal: Initial appeal was won by the plaintiff, but Bayer AG has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to consider

Pilliod v. Monsanto (2019)

• Plaintiffs: A married couple who both developed non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma
• Jury award: $2.055 billion
• Breakdown: $37 million and $18 million in compensatory damages and $1 billion each in punitive damages
• Appeal: Award reduced to $87 million

These outcomes-and numerous verdicts outside the MDL – seem to have made Bayer AG realize it does not want to continue to allow these product liability cases to go to trial and have to pay such significant punitive awards. This is one reason why the company has begun offering settlements and asked the judge to approve a plan for current and future global settlements. 

Roundup Settlement: More Than $10 Billion for Victims

Bayer AG and Monsanto claim to have settled many of the pending Roundup cancer lawsuits, with fewer than 30,000 remaining in total. However, we do not yet know the details of these settlements. According to NPR, the company has earmarked more than $10 billion to cover the litigation underway in three cases:

• MDL 2741, the RoundUp and glyphosate herbicides lawsuits
• Claims related to the herbicide dicamba
• Litigation regarding water contamination caused by polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB)

The largest of these three cases is, by far, the Roundup cancer lawsuits. 

The Funds Are for Current and Future Plaintiffs

Per the NPR report, Bayer AG would use between $8.8 billion and $9.6 billion to settle current claims and pay litigation costs. Then, the company would earmark additional funds for possible future claims, which could come from:

• Those who are just receiving their cancer diagnosis
• Those with significant glyphosate exposure who will develop cancer in the coming years
• Those who worry about their cancer risk because of known exposure

However, the judge overseeing the MDL, U.S. District Judge Vince Chhabria, did not feel like the company’s plan offered enough time, compensation, or consideration for potential future claimants. He is concerned about the time given to report their diagnosis and how many plaintiffs might be eligible. 

Roundup is the top-selling herbicide in the United States. At the same time, according to the American Cancer Society, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma is among the most common cancers. About four percent of all people diagnosed with cancer in the United States each year have this form.

For this reason, the judge denied Bayer AG’s initial plan for creating a fund for future claims in 2021. This does not mean you do not have options for seeking compensation if you have not yet filed, though. Connect with an attorney well-versed in these cases to learn more about what you can do to hold Bayer AG and Monsanto legally liable.

Roundup Settlement Amounts: Potential Payouts for Victims

There is no way at this time to determine how much an individual might receive in a Roundup settlement. We do not have any information about possible settlements or details about those plaintiffs’ cases. In addition, there is no way to take an average payout and come up with an accurate estimate because of the way plaintiffs are scored for settlements as a part of a global agreement.

The unique facts of your case will determine how you are scored and how much Bayer AG and Monsanto may offer you. The details of your disease, exposure, and prognosis matter when it comes to assigning your case to a tier and calculating a possible settlement. As such, you may receive a settlement offer that varies from other plaintiffs because of:

• The severity of your non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma
• Your necessary treatment
• How your disease and treatment affected your life
• Your documented Roundup use
• The strength of the link between your glyphosate exposure and diagnosis
• Your economic and non-economic damages 

While it is difficult to know what a settlement offer might look like in any individual case, you should not expect it to fall into the same range as the jury verdicts issued. The large payouts in the Roundup bellwether cases relied on punitive damages, which are generally only available at trial. In contrast, a global, tiered settlement agreement generally pays significantly less. 

Did Roundup Cancer Settlements Happen?

There are several indications that Bayer AG and Monsanto have settled many of the lawsuits pending in the Roundup cancer case. However, there have not been any direct reports of settlements from plaintiffs in these cases. 

Not only did Bayer AG report settling about 96,000 of the pending 125,000 claims during 2021, but a December 2021 report from Bloomberg cites the company as saying they reached agreements with 98,000 claimants. However, this leaves almost 30,000 outstanding cases, including the claims in the MDL against Roundup and Monsanto.

While it is likely that these settlements did take place and plaintiffs received compensation, that is all we can ascertain from these reports. To help us better understand future settlements, we would need to know:

• How much individuals received
• The severity of their illness
• Other details of their case

According to Bayer AG, the companies will not try to settle any of the remaining pending Roundup claims at this time. They have asked the U.S. Supreme Court to review one of the bellwether cases to determine if they will rule that some plaintiffs are demanding payouts beyond a reasonable amount based on the facts of their cases. 

In addition, they believe that federal approval of the herbicide label could release them from owing punitive damages in some cases. In the Bloomberg report, a Bayer spokesman is quoted as saying an affirmative federal court ruling could “effectively and largely end” the pending litigation and prevent many future claims.

Compensation may be available to you, and hiring a law firm could help you seek it. Call 800-874-8678 for your free consultation with an attorney who understands these cases.

In June 2020, Bayer AG, the manufacturer of Roundup weedkiller, agreed to pay more than $10 billion to approximately 125,000 injured parties to settle injury allegations. The company has reserved an additional $1.25 billion to settle anticipated future cases. Roundup claims continue to form as more injured parties seek compensation for damage to their health or the loss of a loved one.

If you or someone you love was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma or another form of cancer that can be traced back to the use of Roundup, our team will help you explore your compensation options. While the average payout for a Roundup lawsuit is currently unclear, we can calculate your financial damages and help you join the mass tort case. You have a right to seek your share of any upcoming settlements.

How Is My Own Damage Award Calculated?

Glyphosate – the cancer-causing ingredient in the popular weedkiller, Roundup has been connected with the development of several types of cancer. If you were exposed to the weedkiller, you can join others who suffered exposure in seeking compensation from its manufacturer. 

Because multiple people are suing the same defendant, multidistrict litigation (MDL) is underway. As part of preparing your case to join thousands of others, your mass tort lawyer will help you understand how your specific damages will be calculated based on these factors:

• The type of cancer you were diagnosed with
• Your known and anticipated treatment costs
• Your physical and emotional pain and suffering
• Income loss related to your diagnosis and recovery
• The jury’s decision on awarding punitive damages

Similarly, the loss of a loved one entitles certain surviving family members to seek compensation. Your lawyer will explain which family members could recover these damages, what they include, and how they are calculated.

Injuries You Suffered

A recent study in Mutation Research showed that exposure to Roundup weedkiller increases the risk of developing Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma by as much as 41%. In addition, according to the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA), glyphosate is a probable human carcinogen that can lead to the following types of cancer:

• Liver cancer
• Breast cancer
• Kidney cancer
• Thyroid cancer
• Bladder cancer
• Pancreatic cancer
• Myeloid leukemia

Because direct and indirect exposure can pose a health risk, people of all ages could develop Roundup-related cancer. Those who receive a diagnosis face physical, emotional, and financial damages, as treating cancer can be a prolonged and financially draining process. According to Mayo Clinic research, cancer treatment plans might include:

• Physical tests and exams
• Blood and laboratory tests
• Hospitalizations and surgery
• Physical therapy and rehabilitation
• Chemotherapy and hormone therapy
• Radiation and target drug therapy
• Hospice and end-of-life care

The treatment you undergo will depend on the type of cancer you are diagnosed with, the stage at which your cancer is detected, and your anticipated prognosis. Your health care team will help you make the best decision for your immediate and future health care. Meanwhile, your legal team will help you seek financial recovery for the cost of your current and future medical care if Roundup caused the cancer.

Income/Wages You Lost

Not only is cancer treatment expensive, but it can also prevent you from going to work, significantly decreasing your income or stopping it altogether. The total amount of lost income you sustain will depend on:

• Your normal and anticipated salary 
• The extent of your treatment plan 
• The time it takes you to recover 
• Your resulting physical limitations

Your legal team will use your medical records to prove the cancer treatment’s impact on your ability to work. They will also use your salary history, business records, tax records, and other financial data to prove the income you would have earned if your diagnosis had not kept you from working. Lost wages and income can include money you would otherwise have earned from:

• Full-time employment
• Part-time employment
• Gig-economy employment
• Loss of unemployment benefits
• Full or partial business ownership

It can be difficult to assess the scope of your income loss accurately on your own. Instead, you can review the overall value of your lost income with the legal team that handles your case. Your lawsuit lawyer can ensure the case reflects your lost income to date. They can also accurately estimate the income you will lose in the future and any loss of future earning capacity. 

Pain and Suffering

Pain and suffering damages in a product liability case are intended to compensate you for the physical, mental, and emotional trauma you endure. The amount will vary according to the depth and intensity of your injuries.

Including compensation for your pain and suffering is an important part of a Roundup cancer lawsuit, but it can be hard to calculate on your own. Because it covers an intangible expense, it helps to have an attorney explain the way these damages are estimated and assign a fair and accurate value to yours.

Estimating the financial value of both current and future pain and suffering is complex. It can include:

• The physical pain and discomfort of your illness
• The physical pain and discomfort of required treatment
• The emotional anguish and agony of your diagnosis
• The emotional grief and sorrow of losing a loved one

The non-economic damages portion of Roundup lawsuits includes pain and suffering for a reason. In addition to the physical toll of a cancer diagnosis, pain and suffering can include the inability to engage in preferred activities and events. 

Punitive Damages

When you are injured because of another person or entity’s actions, you are legally entitled to seek compensation for two types of recoverable damages. Economic damages are those that cost money or cause you to lose money. They typically include medical bills and loss of income. 

You are also entitled to request non-economic damages, which include intangible damages that do not have receipts or other documentation like economic damages. Non-economic damages typically include physical pain and suffering and mental and emotional distress.

In some cases, you might also receive a third form of compensation, called punitive damages. Punitive damages are rare and are only awarded by a jury that deems the at-fault party’s actions egregious or intentional. Their role is to penalize for gross negligence and make an example of the defendant to discourage similar actions in the future. 

The law firm that represents you will explain how juries determine whether or not punitive damages are warranted and in what amount. Such damages may be a part of your Roundup compensation, as juries have already awarded them in the bellwether trials against Bayer AG.

How Much Money Can I Get?

It’s important to note that the damages available to individual plaintiffs will vary by the unique aspects of their cases. The average settlement in this MDL is not yet clear, though many more cases have reportedly been settled. While no one can provide a guarantee of the settlement amount you will receive, the attorneys in our network will fight hard for compensation to address all of your damages.

In addition, you do not have to hesitate because of attorney’s fees or upfront costs, as the lawyers in our network will represent you on a contingency-fee basis. This arrangement means your legal team’s fees from the compensation recovered in your case. Instead of paying out of pocket, you agree to have a percentage of the settlement or court award taken as payment.

Note that your right to pursue Roundup’s manufacturer is subject to a statute of limitations. If this deadline expires, it can prohibit you from recovering any compensation at all. If you worked in an industry that exposed you to Roundup or used it in your home, you’ll want to start investigating your compensation options soon.

Roundup Settlement: More Than $10 Billion for Victims

As reported by Reuters, the manufacturer of Roundup has agreed to stop selling it and other glyphosate-based herbicides for residential use in the United States as soon as 2023. While this is good news for future gardeners and groundskeepers, it does not negate the damages current litigants have endured. Because Bayer AG failed to warn consumers adequately of the product’s dangers, recent and upcoming lawsuits seek compensation based on product liability issues. 

MDLs and class action lawsuits allow multiple plaintiffs to hold one defendant responsible for their damages. Bayer AG’s recent agreement to pay more than $10 billion will compensate tens of thousands of plaintiffs in current and future Roundup cases. Joining this MDL now or in the near future could entitle you to a share in these funds earmarked for victims of glyphosate exposure. 

Tens of thousands of lawsuits are currently pending, and there is still time to file your own case and join this MDL. The courts have requested that Bayer AG set aside funds for those who were exposed to Roundup but may not have received a cancer diagnosis yet. In response, the company has earmarked $1.25 billion to resolve future lawsuits via settlement. The attorneys in our network can prepare your case.

Roundup Settlement Amounts: Potential Payouts for Victims

According to USA Today reports, Monsanto was ordered to pay $289 million to a single plaintiff who had been diagnosed with terminal cancer after his work as a groundskeeper exposed him to Roundup products. As the company’s actions in this case were deemed malicious and fraudulent, the award included about $250 million in punitive damages. 

This was one of three bellwether trials in MDL 2741 Roundup Products Liability Litigation. Bellwether trials help to generate an idea of how the other cases against a defendant will play out. The awards from the other bellwether trials against Bayer AG include:

• $25.5 million in Hardeman v. Monsanto (2019), after an appeal reduced the award from $80.2 million
• $87 million in Pilliod v. Monsanto (2019), after an appeal reduced the award from $2.055 billion

How Pre-Settlement Funding Can Help

Preparing, filing, and resolving a lawsuit can take several years. In the interim, your daily and ongoing living expenses do not stop, which can create a difficult financial situation for you and your family. 

To help alleviate any financial hardship you experience and allow you to focus your energy on recovering, you might be eligible for a pre-settlement funding option. Because it provides you with a lump-sum monetary infusion, choosing pre-settlement funding can allow you to:

• Meet critical medical expenses
• Meet daily living expenses
• Make rent or mortgage payments
• Make credit card and loan payments

A pre-settlement loan can bridge the gap between the beginning of the Roundup litigation process and the final settlement and payout. Repayment will become due when your class action case is settled. 

A member of our network of attorneys can help you explore this option, which can give you peace of mind and financial security while you await the resolution of your case. If your cancer diagnosis means you are unable to work, you can ask your legal team about the potential advantages and disadvantages of this type of funding. 

Risks in Not Settling

Not settling your cancer lawsuit in conjunction with other injured plaintiffs risks a prolonged trial and a potential financial collapse of the at-fault manufacturer. You can learn more about the average payout for Roundup lawsuits and the risks of waiting when you reach out to a law firm for help.
