Nationwide Case Review · 2026
Worked With Atrazine and Later Diagnosed With Lymphoma?
Cornerstone Law Can Help.
Following the IARC's late-2025 classification of atrazine as a probable human carcinogen, a new wave of lawsuits against Syngenta is underway. Cornerstone Law is reviewing cases nationwide for agricultural workers and residents who developed non-Hodgkin lymphoma or Parkinson's disease after exposure — with no upfront cost to you.
Atrazine has been one of the most widely applied herbicides in American agriculture for decades. That changed in November 2025, when the International Agency for Research on Cancer classified atrazine as a Group 2A probable human carcinogen, citing links to non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Lawsuits against manufacturer Syngenta are now emerging on multiple fronts — personal-injury claims from workers and residents, a resolved class action over drinking-water contamination, and international environmental litigation. No personal-injury MDL has been established yet, but case volume is climbing in a pattern many attorneys are comparing to the early years of Roundup litigation.

Where the Litigation Stands
Three Fronts, Moving at Different Speeds
Atrazine litigation isn't consolidated into a single case — it's unfolding across three separate tracks at once, each at a different stage.
Resolved
IARC Classification
Atrazine classified Group 2A probable human carcinogen, November 2025, tied primarily to NHL.
Resolved
Water-System Settlement
Greenville class action settled on behalf of public water systems' monitoring and treatment costs.
Resolved
Brazil Environmental Action
Brazil's federal prosecutors filed a 2025 civil action over soil and water contamination.
Active Now
Personal-Injury Filings
Individual lawsuits from workers and residents with NHL are rising; no MDL has formed yet.
Active Now
Discovery
Targeting Syngenta's internal toxicology files, EPA communications, and contamination data.
- Personal-injury cases are the fastest-moving track, following a trajectory similar to early Roundup litigation
- The Greenville settlement covered public water systems only — it did not resolve individual health claims
- International attention from Brazil's environmental action underscores atrazine's persistence in soil and water
Exposure & Alleged Injuries
How Exposure Happens, and What It's Been Linked To
Atrazine is applied to corn, sorghum, and sugarcane on a massive scale — tens of millions of pounds a year in the U.S. alone. The highest documented doses fall on the agricultural workers who mix, load, and spray it, but runoff into groundwater can push levels in drinking water above EPA's 3 ppb limit during spring application season, extending exposure to entire communities through tap water, drift, and soil contact.
Main Exposure Routes
- Mixing, loading, or spraying atrazine products
- Drinking water contaminated by agricultural runoff
- Living near treated fields (drift, soil, or water contact)
Conditions Under Investigation
- Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (various subtypes)
- Parkinson's disease
- Endocrine and hormone-related effects
- Reproductive and developmental impacts

Eligibility — Review Carefully
Do You Qualify to File a Claim?
Cornerstone Law is currently accepting atrazine cases for clients who meet specific criteria — broader eligibility than this may apply in some circumstances, but our current intake is focused on the strongest cases below.
Current Intake Criteria
- Direct exposure — you personally mixed, loaded, or sprayed an atrazine-containing herbicide
- Diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma or Parkinson's disease 2–15 years after exposure
- Diagnosed before age 70 (NHL) or before age 75 (Parkinson's)
Helpful Supporting Evidence
- Work history (farm, co-op, custom applicator)
- Herbicide purchase records or application logs
- Drinking-water testing showing atrazine levels
- Medical records and pathology reports
Note on water-system claims: the Greenville settlement compensated public water systems for monitoring and treatment costs — it did not cover individual personal-injury claims. If you have a qualifying diagnosis, your case is evaluated separately under the criteria above.
Common Questions
What Clients Ask Us Most
Is there a class action or MDL for atrazine injury claims?
Not yet. Personal-injury claims are currently being filed as individual lawsuits rather than through a consolidated proceeding, though that could change as case volume grows.
I live near farmland but never applied atrazine myself — do I qualify?
Our current intake criteria focus on direct occupational exposure, but drinking-water testing showing contamination can still be relevant supporting evidence. Send us your details and we'll let you know where you stand.
What does it cost to work with Cornerstone Law?
We handle atrazine cases on contingency — no upfront fee, and we only get paid if we recover compensation for you.
How long do I have to file?
Deadlines depend on your state and the date of diagnosis. Given how recent the IARC classification is, it's worth having your timeline reviewed rather than assuming you've missed a window.
Why Cornerstone Law: We track every development in atrazine litigation — from the IARC classification to ongoing discovery to potential MDL coordination — to build the strongest possible case for our clients.
