$2.25 Billion - Record-Setting Victory for Roundup Cancer Victim
In the firm’s second trial against Bayer/Monsanto, Jason Itkin, Noah Wexler, and Roland Christensen, along with Thomas R. Kline, Chris Gomez, Melissa Merck, and Toby L. Millrood of Kline & Spector, won another historic verdict for another victim of Roundup, the world’s most infamous herbicide. Our firm’s relentless dedication to the truth led to the $2.25 billion verdict.
Monsanto had been hiding from the fact that Roundup causes cancer for decades. Bayer has maintained that Roundup was fundamentally safe to use despite a scientific consensus that Roundup can cause cancer, specifically non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Our client, John, used Roundup at both home and work, which exposed him to higher levels of glyphosate than most people. Of course, John felt he had nothing to fear because Monsanto had publicly said Roundup was safe even though its internal scientists knew that it was not.
Our team presented John’s story to a highly educated jury that considered the evidence carefully before deciding that John should receive $250 million in compensation and then awarding $2 billion in punitive damages against Monsanto/Bayer to deter them for their bad conduct.
This is the largest verdict against Monsanto or Bayer for Roundup. Our firm was proud we could help John and others hold one of the world’s largest companies accountable for deceptively poisoning Americans
