Roundup Wrongful Death Cases: How They Work and How They Differ from Personal Injury Claims

Losing a family member to cancer is a devastating experience. When that loss follows a diagnosis of Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (NHL) linked to Roundup exposure, the grief is often compounded by a sense of injustice. Your loved one was a person, not a statistic, and their loss has left a permanent hole in your family.

However, a wrongful death lawsuit can provide a measure of justice, financial stability for your family’s future, and hold the manufacturer accountable for its actions. This page explains how a Roundup wrongful death claim works and how it differs from a personal injury case.
