Those exposed to Monsanto’s weedkiller, Roundup, are at higher risk of developing health problems. Numerous lawsuits seek to hold Monsanto accountable as victims pursue justice in court. If you’re suffering personally and financially as a result of your illness, there’s hope for you, too.
If you developed health problems after exposure to Roundup, our Marksville Roundup lawyer may be able to pursue a financial award on your behalf. While you focus on your health, our team will file your case, fight for justice, and aim for a financial award that will improve your quality of life.
Compensation You May Be Eligible for in Your Roundup Liability Case
If you developed a medical condition because of exposure to the chemicals in Roundup, you could claim both economic and personal losses. The value of your losses will be unique to your suffering and expenses. Generally, the more severe your illness or injuries, the greater your financial award–though, your circumstances may influence this amount.
Here are some categories of losses for which you may pursue compensation:
Lost Wages
When you have a debilitating illness like cancer, you might not be able to financially support yourself through gainful employment. When you miss paychecks because of your injuries or illness, you can include this lost income in your case. If your health will prevent you from advancing in your career or working again in the future, your lawyer may also be able to pursue this loss of future income.
Medical Expenses
You can include the cost of medical treatment you need for non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, liver disease, or another health condition caused by Roundup exposure. Doctors’ visits, hospital stays, cancer treatment, prescription drugs, surgical procedures, and other medical interventions are recoverable.
If your health (or your loved one’s health) deteriorates to the point that they need daily assistance with medical treatments or personal care, the cost of professional at-home or nursing home care can be included.
Personal Losses
There are several different types of personal losses. One of the more common is called pain and suffering and inconvenience. Compensation for pain and suffering takes into account the severity and duration of your physical discomfort, mental distress, and the inconveniences you suffer as a result of your injuries. For example, if you are permanently physically impaired as a result of your illness, you may be compensated for the emotional suffering this causes, as well as for the inconvenience of your limitations.
Wrongful Death
If you lost a loved one because of health problems associated with Roundup exposure, we are sorry for your loss. We know the idea of taking legal action may feel overwhelming, but we want to assure you that our goal is to put as little of this burden on your shoulders as possible.
If you wish to file your case, our wrongful death lawyer may be able to pursue compensation for your family’s suffering, your loved one’s medical bills, their burial and funeral costs, and more.

Rick Smith | ClientRoundup Lawsuits Have a Filing Deadline
In Louisiana, you don’t have much time to file a case for your Roundup-associated losses. CC Art. 3492 limits you to only one year from the date of the incident or the date of discovery to file a product liability lawsuit. Your lawyer can help you interpret these deadlines for your specific circumstances.
The statute of limitations for bringing a wrongful death case is also only one year, according to CC Art. 2315.2.
After the filing deadline expires, your case may be thrown out, or you may not be able to legally compel the at-fault party to pay. Our team wants to manage these deadlines for you, so you can enjoy peace of mind during the legal process.
