ASBESTOS/MESOTHELIOMA
ASBESTOS/MESOTHELIOMA LAWSUIT
Asbestos exposure has been linked to lung cancer and mesothelioma. For decades, asbestos companies were aware that their products caused harmful diseases but concealed these dangers. This put millions of people at risk for developing a wide range of illnesses, including mesothelioma and lung cancer. Asbestos is made up of bundles of fibers from a group of minerals found naturally in the environment. These fibers can be found in rocks and soil worldwide and are primarily made from oxygen and silicon, but they can also contain other elements. The two main types of asbestos are amphibole asbestos and chrysotile asbestos.
People currently diagnosed with mesothelioma or lung cancer are looking for somewhere to turn for assistance.

Currently, seven trials will take place between August 2019 and February 2020. On Aug. 19, 2019, the case of Sharlean Gordon vs. Monsanto started. While in her 50’s, a doctor diagnosed Gordon with cancer, which she claims Roundup caused.
June 2020 – Bayer announced on June 24, 2020, a $10 billion settlement to resolve most of Monsanto’s current and potential future Roundup lawsuits. The settlement negotiations involved 25 different leading law firms and two plaintiff law firms that led the California state court bellwether cases and the federal multidistrict litigation. The $10 billion settlement is expected to bring closure to over 75% of the company’s Roundup lawsuits, which include an estimated 125,000 unfiled and filed lawsuits. Victims could receive payments between $5,000 and $250,000, depending on how strong their case is.
February 2021 – Bayer agreed to a $2 billion settlement for future Roundup claims. The settlement will cover victims who have been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and were exposed to Roundup before their diagnosis. Victims who were exposed to Roundup and develop cancer in the future also benefit from this settlement.
