Glen Lerner Injury Attorneys focus on Roundup case reviews for those claiming diagnosis of non-Hodgkin lymphoma popular weedkiller after prolonged exposure.

I strongly encourage anyone who believes their long term exposure to Roundup contributed to an NHL diagnosis to seek out legal assistance to see if they may be entitled to compensation.”
— Glen Lerner, ESQ.

LAS VEGAS, NV, UNITED STATES, August 18, 2018 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The law offices of Glen Lerner Injury Attorneys announced they will streamline their focus regarding Roundup case reviews for those claiming diagnosis of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) after prolonged exposure to the popular weedkiller. This decision came after more and more Individuals and family members of deceased have come forward to claim Roundup weed killer is believed to have contributed to often severe side effects.

One such man, Dewayne Johnson, was exposed to Roundup during his tenure as a groundskeeper. He was later diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma that is believed to be linked to his high exposure levels to Roundup for a prolonged period of time.

Based on evidence and testimony presented during trial, a California jury agreed that Johnson’s now terminal cancer was the results of his exposure to Roundup. Product manufacturer Monsanto was ordered to pay him $289,000,000 in damages after finding they failed to warn about severe health hazard, in addition to acting with malice, oppression or fraud and should therefore be punished for its conduct (case no CGC-16-550128).

Glysophate - Dangerous or Harmless Like Monsanto Suggests?

Glysophate is an active ingredient most widely used in herbicides - including Roundup. Herbicides are commonly used by farmers, groundskeepers of public spaces and homeowners alike to control weeds.

Monsanto maintains that Roundup has safely been sold and used for 40 years when used as directed. Monsanto Vice President Scott Partridge released a statement saying “We will appeal this decision and continue to vigorously defend this product.”

Despite Monsanto’s stand, occupational exposure studies of glyphosate have shown a link between NHL and glysophate.

Glen Lerner Injury Attorneys strongly encourages anyone who believes their long term exposure to Roundup contributed to an NHL diagnosis to seek out legal assistance to see if they may be entitled to compensation. Glen Lerner’s Las Vegas and Chicago-based law firms offer free Roundup NHL case reviews.
