Our team of Illinois Roundup attorneys has represented thousands of victims of toxic chemicals. In doing so, we have recovered millions of dollars in settlement funds on their behalf.
However, we only pursue compensation from herbicide manufacturers, and do not file claims against our clients’ employers or suppliers.
No Legal Fee Unless You Obtain a Settlement
While compensation may be available to qualified Roundup claimants, victims are urged to act promptly. The #1 claim Illinois Roundup attorneys can make for cancer compensation is one filed within the Statute of Limitations.

Illinois State Roundup Claims
Illinois Roundup lawyers can also file blood cancer lawsuits in the State’s county courts (IL Courts Website). Chapter 735 of the Illinois Compiled Statutes sets forth the State’s procedural law for lymphoma and leukemia claims.
