Do You Need an NHL Diagnosis to File a Roundup Lawsuit in California?

You have seen the headlines about multi-billion dollar verdicts against Roundup’s manufacturer. You know the weedkiller you used for years is linked to cancer. Now, you have persistent fatigue, swollen lymph nodes, or other worrying symptoms, and you are wondering if you have a legal claim. One of the most common and important questions we hear at Walch Law is: “Do I need an official cancer diagnosis to file a Roundup lawsuit?”

The short answer is: Practically, yes. To have a successful product liability lawsuit for personal injury damages against Roundup’s manufacturer, you almost always need a confirmed medical diagnosis of a specific type of cancer—most often Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) or one of its recognized subtypes. Symptoms, a doctor’s suspicion, or a fear of developing cancer in the future are generally not enough to recover compensation for a physical injury.

New Study Links Glyphosate to Cancer at ‘Safe’ Doses: What It Means for Roundup Lawsuits

For years, tens of thousands of cancer victims have filed lawsuits alleging that their use of Roundup, the world’s most popular weedkiller, caused them to develop non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The manufacturer, Bayer, has consistently claimed its product is safe, pointing to regulatory approvals. A groundbreaking new study adds to the growing mountain of scientific evidence that not only refutes Bayer’s claims but suggests the chemical may be even more dangerous than previously understood—and at doses regulators have deemed “safe.”

On June 10, 2025, the journal Environmental Health published the results of a major long-term animal study conducted by the renowned Ramazzini Institute. The findings are a critical development for anyone who has been exposed to Roundup and is now battling cancer. At Walch Law, we are using this emerging science to fight for families harmed by corporate negligence. Call us today to learn more about how we win Los Angeles Roundup cases.

$600M Roundup Judgment Stands: What the Missouri Ruling Means for Cancer Victims Nationwide

On September 30, 2025, the Missouri Supreme Court delivered a major victory for cancer victims by refusing to review a massive judgment against Bayer, the company that now owns Monsanto. This decision solidifies a jury award, originally $1.56 billion and later reduced to approximately $611 million, for four plaintiffs who developed non-Hodgkin lymphoma after using the weedkiller Roundup. This ruling is more than just a headline; it is a powerful affirmation of corporate accountability and provides significant hope for thousands of victims across the country, including here in California.

For years, Bayer has fought to escape responsibility for the harm caused by glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup. The company has consistently lost in court, paid out billions in settlements, and now faces another monumental, final judgment. At Walch Law, we have been closely monitoring this litigation, and this latest development reinforces what juries have repeatedly concluded: Roundup is a dangerous product, and its manufacturer must be held accountable. This guide explains what the Missouri ruling means, how it impacts California victims, and what you should do if you believe your cancer is linked to Roundup exposure.
