Roundup® is a popular residential and industrial weed killer that contains glyphosate, which has been linked to several types of cancer. If you used Roundup and got sick, you may be eligible to file a Roundup lawsuit.
To pursue a Roundup lawsuit, your lawyer needs to be able to show that you used this weed killer and that it contributed to your cancer diagnosis.
Proof for a Roundup lawsuit can involve a combination of your work history, medical records, testimony from experts or witnesses, and receipts showing you purchased glyphosate products.
By working with a team of experienced Roundup lawyers, you can get help figuring out if you have a valid claim and collecting the proof needed for your case.

1. Medical Diagnosis of a Qualifying Cancer
The foundation of any product liability case is an injury that should’ve been prevented. In Roundup claims, the injury is a cancer diagnosis caused by glyphosate, which medical records should be able to verify.
Multiple scientific studies have established a link between certain types of cancer and Roundup exposure, including:
- B-cell lymphoma
- Burkitt lymphoma
- Chronic lymphocytic leukemia
- Follicular lymphoma
- Hairy cell leukemia
- Lymphoblastic lymphoma
- Mantle cell lymphoma
- Marginal zone lymphoma
- Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma
- Small lymphocytic lymphoma
- T-cell leukemia
- T-cell lymphoma
Medical records need to confirm a diagnosis of one of these illnesses for your attorney to effectively establish a link between your condition and exposure to glyphosate.
If your family member passed away from any of these cancers, you may be able to file a Roundup lawsuit on their behalf. You will likely need to provide your attorney with a copy of their death certificate in order to do so.
2. Proof of Purchase or Ownership
If you used Roundup on your farm or property, demonstrating that you bought or owned glyphosate products is essential for establishing your exposure in a lawsuit.
You can prove you used Roundup with:
- Receipts showing purchase of Roundup glyphosate products
- Credit card or bank statements
- Invoices from landscaping companies
Any empty, partially used, or unopened products can also be critical evidence in the case, so be sure to avoid throwing these out.
3. Evidence of Employment or Work History
Many Roundup victims were exposed to glyphosate on the job or at work. Landscapers, farmworkers, and groundskeepers were often put at risk, sometimes without even realizing it.
Employment records or job descriptions that include the use of herbicides can demonstrate repeated exposure. The greater your exposure, the greater your risk of developing cancers linked to Roundup.
If any glyphosate incident reports were completed during your time at a job, these can also be used to help prove the connection between Roundup and your health issues.
4. Testimony of Witnesses & Experts
Your legal team will gather testimony from anyone who can speak to your exposure history or the illness it may have caused.
Potential witnesses and experts for your Roundup lawsuit include:
- Coworkers or supervisors who knew you worked with or around the herbicide
- Family members or neighbors who saw you use Roundup at home
- Toxicologists who can speak to how chemicals like glyphosate affect the body
- Medical experts like oncologists who can help connect your condition to Roundup exposure
- Epidemiologists who study diseases and can discuss the likelihood of developing cancer from glyphosate
- Occupational health experts who can assess your work environment and its safety protocols to determine your exposure levels
By combining personal and expert testimonies, your legal team will work to build a strong case demonstrating your exposure and the scientific link between glyphosate and your medical condition.
5. Proof of Negligence or Misconduct
To establish negligence or misconduct in a Roundup lawsuit against Monsanto, your lawyer must show that the company didn’t take reasonable steps to protect consumers from harm.
Your legal team will work to prove that Monsanto:
- Knew about the risks associated with glyphosate
- Downplayed the dangers of Roundup by ghostwriting studies to avoid regulations
- Failed to include warnings about cancer risks on product labels
To support your case, your lawyer will investigate these actions, collect internal communications, and gather research documents that establish Monsanto’s negligence or misconduct.
How Do You Prove Roundup Caused Your Cancer?
Proving Roundup caused your cancer ultimately comes down to your legal team gathering evidence of your exposure and using scientific evidence to link it to your diagnosis.
Depending on your case, this may include receipts or invoices for Roundup products, a history of working with glyphosate weed killers, and a diagnosis of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma or another cancer linked to Roundup.
