Roundup was one of the most popular weed killers available on the market. Since 1974, countless consumers and businesses have used Roundup as a means to take care of crops and manage the appearance of properties. For this reason, there’s a high chance that Roundup has impacted your life, whether you realize it or not.
However, glyphosate (an ingredient in Roundup) has ties to various forms of cancer, according to the World Health Organization. Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and leukemia are some of the types of cancer that glyphosate is linked to.

Who’s at Risk of Developing Cancer?
As mentioned, being exposed to Roundup over an extended amount of time can put you at risk of developing cancer. Gardeners, landscapers, farmers, and generally anyone likely to use Roundup in their line of work is at risk of developing cancer.
Even individuals who don’t use Roundup are at risk of developing cancer if exposed to Roundup for too long. For example, children who play at parks that use Roundup to destroy weeds could potentially be at risk of developing some forms of cancer.
Because Roundup is readily available and an established brand, countless individuals are at risk of developing cancer from prolonged exposure to Roundup.

The epidemic of Roundup cancer cases has seen some settlements end in multimillion-dollar awards. Depending on your damages, your Roundup claim case could also end in a large settlement. However, you must understand what damages you’re able to pursue compensation for during your Roundup claim case.
For example, the medical costs of treating cancer are notorious for being very expensive. By filing and winning a Roundup cancer claim, you can receive compensation toward your paying off your past, present, and future medical bills relating to your cancer treatments.
