3 Most Common Ways Farmworkers Come Into Contact With Roundup (And How to Document Your Exposure)

For decades, Roundup has been a go-to weedkiller for farms, nurseries, and landscaping crews across California. Workers have been told it is safe to use day in and day out. But a growing body of scientific evidence and thousands of lawsuits have linked Roundup’s active ingredient, glyphosate, to a specific type of cancer: non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL).

If you are a farmworker who has been diagnosed with NHL, proving your history of Roundup exposure is the single most important part of your legal claim. At Walch Law, our family has been fighting for injured Californians for over 45 years.

Farmworkers: It’s Easy to Start a Roundup Lawsuit — Your Immigration Status Doesn’t Matter

As a farmworker, landscaper, or groundskeeper in California, you are the backbone of our state’s economy and communities. You work hard every day, often in difficult conditions, to provide for your family. The last thing you should have to worry about is whether the tools of your trade are making you sick. Unfortunately, for thousands of workers exposed to the weedkiller Roundup, a diagnosis of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) has become a tragic reality.

If you are a farmworker who has been diagnosed with NHL after using Roundup, you may have heard about lawsuits against its manufacturer, Bayer/Monsanto. You may also feel that seeking justice is impossible because of your immigration status, language barriers, or fear of retaliation.

Can Undocumented Farmworkers File a Roundup Lawsuit Without Fear of Deportation?

For decades, farmworkers have handled Roundup and other powerful herbicides, often with little to no protection or warning about the potential health risks. Many of these essential workers are undocumented, living in the shadows and fearing that any interaction with the legal system could lead to deportation. This fear often forces them to suffer in silence, even after receiving a devastating cancer diagnosis like non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

If you are an undocumented farmworker who has become sick, you may believe you have no rights and no recourse. This is not true. A fundamental principle of the U.S. justice system is that everyone, regardless of their immigration status, has the right to seek justice in a court of law.
