Your Los Angeles Roundup Lawsuit: What to Bring to Your First Meeting

For decades, Roundup was marketed as a safe and effective weed killer, used by millions of gardeners, landscapers, and agricultural workers across the country. Today, the devastating truth has come to light: exposure to Roundup’s active ingredient, glyphosate, is linked to an increased risk of developing serious cancers, most notably non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

If you or a loved one used this product and are now facing a cancer diagnosis, you are likely overwhelmed with medical appointments, financial stress, and uncertainty about the future. The decision to pursue legal action is a significant step, but it is a powerful way to seek justice and secure the financial stability your family needs.

At Walch Law, we understand that starting a lawsuit can feel intimidating. The first step is a free, confidential consultation to discuss your case. To make this meeting as productive as possible, it helps to come prepared. This guide outlines the key information you should gather before meeting with our team, explaining why each piece is crucial to building a strong case.

The Goal: Building a Clear and Compelling Case

A successful Roundup lawsuit depends on clearly connecting two key facts: your exposure to Roundup and your subsequent medical diagnosis. Every piece of information you provide helps us create a detailed timeline and a powerful narrative to present to the court. The more organized and thorough your documentation is, the stronger we can make your claim from the very beginning.

Think of your consultation as the first step in a detailed investigation. Your attorney is your lead investigator, and the documents you bring are the first crucial pieces of evidence.

What to Bring to Your Roundup Lawsuit Consultation

Gathering these documents may take some time, but any effort you make now will significantly help your legal team evaluate the strength of your Los Angeles Roundup case.

1. Medical Records and Diagnosis Information

This is the most critical component of your claim. Your medical history provides the official link between your health and the harm you have suffered.

What to gather:

Diagnosis Report: The official pathology report that confirms your diagnosis of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma or another related cancer (like hairy cell leukemia or large B-cell lymphoma). This should include the date of your diagnosis.
Doctor’s Notes and Summaries: Any records from your primary care physician, oncologist, or other specialists related to your symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment plan.
Treatment History: A list of all treatments you have undergone, including chemotherapy, radiation, stem cell transplants, and any medications you have been prescribed.
Medical Bills and Expenses: Bring any bills, invoices, or statements you have received for your medical care. This helps us begin to calculate the economic damages your family has incurred.

Why it matters: These records establish the “damages” part of your lawsuit. They prove the existence of the injury (the cancer diagnosis) and provide a timeline that we can correlate with your Roundup exposure.

2. Proof of Roundup Use and Exposure

Next, we need to establish your history of using Roundup. The more detail you can provide about your exposure, the better.

What to gather:

Receipts or Invoices: If you have any old receipts for the purchase of Roundup products from stores like Home Depot, Lowe’s, or local garden centers, bring them.
Employment Records: If you used Roundup as part of your job (e.g., as a landscaper, groundskeeper, or farmworker), bring any pay stubs, W-2s, or employment contracts that show who you worked for and during what time period.
Photos or Videos: Any personal photos or videos that show you using Roundup or show Roundup containers on your property can be powerful evidence.
Written Timeline of Use: Even if you don’t have receipts, create a written account of your Roundup use. Be as specific as possible:
- When did you start and stop using the product? (e.g., “From 1995 to 2018”)
- How often did you use it? (e.g., “Every weekend during the spring and summer”)
- Where did you use it? (e.g., “On my half-acre property,” or “at the golf course where I worked”)
- Did you use a sprayer? What kind? Did you mix the concentrate yourself?

Why it matters: This evidence proves your direct exposure to glyphosate, which is the “cause” of your injury. A detailed history helps us demonstrate a consistent and long-term pattern of use, strengthening the link to your diagnosis.

3. Financial and Personal Impact Documentation

A lawsuit isn’t just about medical bills. It’s about recovering compensation for all the ways this diagnosis has impacted your life and your family.

What to gather:

Proof of Lost Income: Bring pay stubs or tax returns from before your diagnosis. This helps us show how much income you have lost due to being unable to work during treatment and recovery.
Personal Journals or Notes: If you have kept a journal detailing your physical pain, emotional distress, or the daily challenges you face because of your illness, this can be valuable. This information helps us argue for non-economic damages like “pain and suffering.”
Contact Information for Witnesses: If you have friends, family, or former coworkers who can attest to your Roundup use or the impact the cancer has had on your life, have their names and contact information ready.

Why it matters: This documentation helps us calculate the full scope of your damages, ensuring we fight for a settlement that covers not just your bills, but the profound human cost of your illness.
