Roundup, the widely used glyphosate-based weed killer, has been the subject of nationwide litigation for years over claims that exposure causes non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Cases have been filed in federal court and in state courts, including Florida. Because this cancer can take years to develop and years more to litigate, it isn't unusual for the person who was exposed to pass away before a case resolves. When that happens, Florida law requires the estate's personal representative, not family members directly, to bring or continue a wrongful death claim.

Where Things Stand Right Now

Roundup litigation is still active, with tens of thousands of cases pending in federal court and many more in state courts. A large nationwide settlement has been proposed and is working through the court approval process, on top of settlements already reached in a large share of earlier cases. Separately, a 2026 U.S. Supreme Court decision narrowed one legal theory (failure to warn) in states where the EPA has made a specific labeling determination, though it did not eliminate other theories like design defect or negligence. To be clear, Florida claims have not been categorically barred, despite some inaccurate claims circulating online to that effect.

Settlement amounts and case counts reported here describe nationwide litigation handled by other firms, not results obtained by LD Legal, and are not a guarantee of any outcome in your case.

Why Probate Comes Into It

Florida's wrongful death statute controls who can sue: only a court-appointed personal representative can bring a wrongful death claim on behalf of someone who has died, and any related survival claim (for damages the person could have claimed while alive) becomes part of the estate, which can matter for creditors and beneficiaries alike. Both routes start with opening a Florida probate case.

Common Questions

My family member passed away before the case settled. Now what?

A personal representative needs to be appointed to step into the case or receive any settlement funds. That's the Florida probate step, and it's what we handle.

Is it too late to file a Roundup claim?

That depends on the specifics of the exposure, diagnosis, and applicable deadlines, which is a question for a Roundup attorney. We're glad to connect you with one if you don't already have one.

Does this cost me anything?

Our probate work in these cases is done on a no-fee-to-you basis unless there's a recovery, with the arrangement in writing up front.
