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 in New York.
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 advisable. Delay may significantly reduce your options.
Who May Qualify for a Roundup Claim
Attorneys evaluating Roundup claims in New York 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 herbicides 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 the merits of your individual situation.
How to Document Your Exposure and Diagnosis
Thorough documentation strengthens a claim evaluation. Consider assembling:
- ·Medical records confirming your NHL diagnosis (pathology reports, oncology notes, treatment records)
- ·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 approximate frequency and duration
An attorney will guide you through formal discovery and evidence-preservation steps if your case proceeds.
New York-Specific Procedural Notes
New York plaintiffs have two primary filing routes:
- Federal MDL: Cases filed in federal court may be transferred to MDL 2741 (N.D. Cal.) for pre-trial coordination. Individual cases can be remanded to their home district for trial.
- New York State Court: Plaintiffs may file in New York Supreme Court -- the state's trial court of general jurisdiction -- under state product liability and negligence law.

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. This is not legal advice; consult a licensed attorney about your individual situation.
