Birmingham Roundup Lawsuit Lawywer

When Can I Expect My Roundup Settlement Check?

There is no set time period for when the settlement process concludes. There are many factors involved, including potential interactions with medical professionals, insurance companies, and other parties. Again, it’s an attorney’s job to handle these matters, so it’s best if you hire a lawyer for assistance.

The important thing is that you don’t delay — the sooner you contact a lawyer to file, the better, and filing deadlines may apply as well.

Did Monsanto Ignore Science?

Attorneys and activists are working on behalf of clients who have become sick because of Roundup Weed & Grass Killers. They are stating that Monsanto is deliberately ignoring life-threatening facts in their manipulation of how they present their products to agricultural professionals, farmers, and everyday users of their products. Glyphosate’s potential side effects may extend beyond the farm or garden, as residue from the chemical has been found in grocery staples like cherries and cereal, which may harm pregnant women and their unborn children.

In October 2017, the European Parliament’s Environment and Agriculture committees held a hearing titled “The Monsanto papers and glyphosate.” During the hearing, “scientific misrepresentation, data manipulation and collusion with government officials” by Monsanto were spotlighted. Monsanto was invited to testify but was absent from the hearing.

In the United States, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) continues to state that glyphosate “has low toxicity for humans,” though Monsanto has been accused of colluding with the EPA and even ghostwriting “studies” that support its claims of product safety and killing studies that support carcinogenic evidence.

Despite Monsanto’s attempt to sue California to block the listing of glyphosate on the state’s cancer-causing chemicals list, the California Supreme Court rejected Monsanto’s claim. While the U.S. federal government has been slower than other global environmental agencies in exposing Monsanto’s harm, agencies at the state level are taking steps to protect citizens.

What Should Glyphosate Victims Do?

If you have contracted non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and have used Roundup products, the cause of cancer may be exposure to glyphosate. It is important to gather any evidence you can that shows you purchased the products and, if possible, used them.

Even if you currently have no health issues, if you have used Roundup in the past, keeping evidence of receipts and of usage is wise. It is up to you whether or not to continue using products that contain glyphosate, and to be aware of certain foods you and your family may be eating that may contain glyphosate residue, such as instant oats and baby foods.
