Roundup (glyphosate) litigation remains one of the largest mass tort proceedings in the United States. Florida residents who developed non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) after extended contact with Roundup herbicide may have legal options under federal and state law.
Federal cases are consolidated in Multi-District Litigation 2741 in the Northern District of California. Florida plaintiffs may also pursue claims in Florida state courts depending on individual circumstances.

Filing Window and Statute of Limitations
Time limits for Roundup claims vary by state and legal theory. Consult a licensed attorney to determine which deadline applies to your situation.
Generally, the limitations clock begins when you knew or reasonably should have known of a potential link between your diagnosis and glyphosate exposure. Given latency periods common in NHL cases, prompt legal consultation is important. Waiting may narrow your options.
Who May Qualify for a Roundup Claim
Attorneys evaluating Roundup cases in Florida typically consider:
- ·Diagnosis: Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) or an NHL subtype such as diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, follicular lymphoma, or mantle cell lymphoma
- ·Exposure: Occupational or residential use of Roundup or other glyphosate-containing products over an extended period
- ·Timing: A meaningful interval between exposure and the NHL diagnosis
A qualifying diagnosis does not guarantee a particular legal outcome. Only a licensed attorney can assess whether your circumstances support a viable claim.
How to Document Your Exposure and Diagnosis
Strong documentation supports a thorough claim evaluation. Consider assembling:
- ·Medical records confirming your NHL diagnosis, including pathology reports, oncology notes, and treatment history
- ·Employment records, purchase receipts, work orders, or photographs documenting Roundup use
- ·Witness statements from co-workers, neighbors, or family members who observed your use of the herbicide
- ·Records identifying properties where you applied Roundup and the approximate frequency and duration
An attorney will guide you through formal discovery and evidence-preservation steps if your case proceeds.
Florida-Specific Procedural Notes
Florida plaintiffs have two primary filing paths:
- Federal MDL: Cases may be transferred to MDL 2741 (N.D. Cal.) for pre-trial coordination. Individual cases can be remanded to their home district for trial.
- Florida State Court: Plaintiffs may file in Florida circuit courts under state product liability and negligence theories. Florida follows a modified comparative fault framework, which can affect damages calculations.

Settlement Framework Overview
Bayer (which acquired Monsanto in 2018) has resolved a significant portion of Roundup litigation through negotiated settlements distributed across multiple tranches.
Settlement values depend on individual case factors: severity of NHL diagnosis, duration and intensity of exposure, age, and other variables. No reported figure represents a guaranteed or typical outcome for any specific claim. Consult a licensed attorney for guidance on your individual situation -- this is not legal advice.
