This was one of a series of verdicts in Roundup litigation. The plaintiff who\u2019d been diagnosed was a 51-year old man who\u2019d used Roundup for around 30 years starting in 1992. In 2020, he\u2019d been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin\u2019s lymphoma and his lawsuit claimed was due to chemical exposures, and he and his wife sued both Monsanto and parent company Bayer. In the course of the trial, his attorney argued that the company had concealed the potential dangers of Roundup and manipulated evidence for 50 years. The defense attorney argued that treatment for the plaintiff was brief and his cancer was in remission. If you developed cancer and believe it\u2019s due to exposure to Roundup, you should call the seasoned Chicago-based product liability lawyers of Moll Law Group. We represent plaintiffs around the country.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Consult Moll Law Group About Your Claims<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There are thousands of lawsuits unfolding across the country that are brought by plaintiffs who argue Monsanto\u2019s negligence in failing to provide adequate warnings about Roundup caused their cancer. However juries have reached different verdicts depending on the facts of specific cases. In the past, two juries awarded $175 million and $3.5 million to plaintiffs in this litigation.<\/p>\n<p>Both compensatory and punitive damages have been sought in multiple cases. The latter are damages awarded to punish a defendant and deter future misconduct. Generally, it\u2019s expected to be proportionate to the defendant\u2019s ability to pay, and the plaintiff\u2019s attorney in the recent case that went to verdict requested that jurors return a verdict in \u201cMonsanto dollars.\u201d While $3 million were awarded in compensatory damages, the jury recognized that the punitive and deterrent effects of punitive damages would not be accomplished unless the damages award were matched to Monsanto\u2019s size and awarded $75 million in punitives.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.molllawgroup.com\/blog\/philadelphia-jury-awards-78-million-in-roundup-lawsuit\/#more-3377\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recently, a jury awarded $78 million to a plaintiff who had sued Monsanto arguing that the company\u2019s weed killer, Roundup, was a reason he suffered blood cancer.
