WHY WE’RE FIGHTING
What is the Purpose of this Lawsuit?
Roundup is considered carcinogenic for humans, which means that it can cause cancer in humans. Inhaling glyphosate for a prolonged period of time can cause respiratory issues like asthma and irritation in the nose. It can also cause irritation of the skin if it comes in contact with it. Accidentally swallowing roundups may also adversely affect health.
Bayer is currently in the middle of the Roundup Lawsuit. People who have worked with Roundup are claiming that the weedkiller has adversely affected their health. By May 2022, Bayer had already paid $11 billion for Roundup cancer lawsuit settlements, yet more lawsuits keep coming in. Claimants are arguing that Bayer is at fault for failing to warn its users about the risks associated with exposure to glyphosate via Roundup.
If you are suffering due to the use of Roundup, you may be eligible to file a Roundup lawsuit. Have A Lawyer connects you with top Roundup lawsuit attorneys who can help you secure the compensation you deserve.
