Farmworkers, Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, and Roundup Exposure
Farmworkers are the backbone of America’s food supply, working tirelessly in fields and orchards to bring food to our tables. This essential work often involves prolonged exposure to powerful chemical herbicides like Roundup. For decades, farmworkers have handled this glyphosate-based product, often with little to no warning about its link to non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) and other devastating cancers.
If you are a farmworker who has been diagnosed with NHL after years of working with Roundup, you are not just a statistic—you are a victim of corporate negligence. At Walch Law, we are dedicated to fighting for the rights of agricultural workers who have been harmed. We believe you deserve justice and financial compensation for your suffering, and we have the experience to hold manufacturers like Bayer accountable. Call Walch Law now to learn more about your legal options and get started on a case at no upfront cost to you.
The Unseen Dangers in the FieldsFarmworkers face the highest risk of Roundup exposure of any occupation. Your daily work puts you in direct and constant contact with this dangerous chemical in ways the general public never experiences.
High-Risk Exposure Scenarios for Farmworkers:- Mixing and Loading: Handling concentrated glyphosate to prepare it for spraying.
- Direct Spraying: Applying Roundup for hours at a time using backpack sprayers or large, tractor-mounted equipment.
- Spray Drift: Inhaling airborne droplets of Roundup that drift from adjacent fields or during application.
- Field Re-entry: Working in fields recently treated with Roundup, leading to skin contact with contaminated plants and soil.
- Contaminated Equipment: Cleaning or handling spray tanks and nozzles without adequate protection.
We understand that farmworkers face unique obstacles that can make seeking justice seem impossible. Many agricultural laborers work long hours with insufficient safety gear and may not receive formal training on the dangers of the chemicals they handle. Furthermore, language barriers and concerns about immigration status can create a climate of fear, preventing many from seeking medical care or legal help.
Let us be clear: Your immigration status does not affect your right to file a lawsuit and seek compensation for your injuries. The U.S. legal system provides protections for all individuals harmed by a company's dangerous product. Our team at Walch Law is experienced in representing clients from all backgrounds and will ensure your case is handled with complete confidentiality and respect.
The Link Between Roundup and Non-Hodgkin LymphomaThe active ingredient in Roundup, glyphosate, has been classified as a "probable human carcinogen" by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). Scientific studies have shown that glyphosate can cause DNA damage in cells, leading to the development of cancers like non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
Thousands of farmworkers, landscapers, and gardeners have already filed successful lawsuits against Roundup's manufacturer, alleging that the company knew about the cancer risks and hid them from the public. Juries have awarded billions of dollars in compensation to victims based on this evidence.
