Who Is Most at Risk of Roundup Exposure in West Virginia?
Roundup has been widely used across West Virginia, particularly in its agricultural and industrial communities. Certain groups face a higher risk of exposure to glyphosate, the herbicide’s active ingredient linked to cancers like non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. If you belong to any of these groups, you may be eligible to file a Roundup lawsuit:
- Farmers and Agricultural Workers: West Virginia’s farmers, especially in regions like the Kanawha Valley or near Bridgeport, use Roundup to manage weeds in crops such as corn, soybeans, and hay. Prolonged exposure through spraying or handling increases health risks.
- Landscapers: Professional landscapers in cities like Charleston, Huntington, and Parkersburg often apply Roundup to maintain lawns, parks, and commercial properties.
- Gardeners: Both professional and hobbyist gardeners using Roundup for weed control in community gardens or home landscapes may face exposure risks.
- Homeowners: West Virginia residents in rural and suburban areas, such as Morgantown or Wheeling, who use Roundup for residential lawn care or gardening may have been exposed to glyphosate.
- Groundskeepers and Maintenance Workers: Those maintaining golf courses, school grounds, or public parks across West Virginia frequently rely on Roundup, increasing their risk of prolonged exposure.
If you or a loved one in these groups has been diagnosed with cancer after using Roundup, contact Clinton O. Middleton, a dedicated West Virginia Roundup lawsuit attorney, to explore your legal options.
The Dangers of Roundup and Glyphosate
Roundup, manufactured by Monsanto (now owned by Bayer), is the world’s most widely used herbicide, commonly applied in West Virginia’s farming communities, landscaping businesses, and home gardens. Its active ingredient, glyphosate, was classified as a “probable carcinogen” by the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer in 2015. Studies have linked glyphosate exposure to serious health conditions, including:
- Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma
- Leukemia
- Other cancers
West Virginia’s agricultural and coal mining communities, where Roundup is heavily used, are particularly at risk. If you’ve been diagnosed with cancer after exposure, you may have grounds for a lawsuit against Monsanto/Bayer for failing to warn consumers of these risks.
Roundup Lawsuits in West Virginia: What You Need to Know
Thousands of lawsuits have been filed nationwide against Monsanto, alleging that Roundup caused cancer and that the company concealed its dangers. In 2020, Bayer agreed to pay $8.8–$9.6 billion to settle existing Roundup claims, but new cases continue to emerge. In West Virginia, the Mass Litigation Panel streamlines complex cases like Roundup lawsuits, ensuring efficient handling for plaintiffs. Clinton O. Middleton can help you navigate:
- Class Action Lawsuits: Joining a group of plaintiffs to seek compensation.
