How Do You Get Diagnosed With Video Game Addiction? What Parents Should Know

For many parents, watching a child’s love for video games transform into an all-consuming obsession is a deeply confusing and frightening experience. The line between a passionate hobby and a serious problem can feel blurry. When gaming starts to harm a child’s grades, health, and family relationships, you may wonder if it’s an addiction. Securing a formal diagnosis is a critical first step toward getting the right help.

3 Most Common Ways Farmworkers Come Into Contact With Roundup (And How to Document Your Exposure)

For decades, Roundup has been a go-to weedkiller for farms, nurseries, and landscaping crews across California. Workers have been told it is safe to use day in and day out. But a growing body of scientific evidence and thousands of lawsuits have linked Roundup’s active ingredient, glyphosate, to a specific type of cancer: non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL).

If you are a farmworker who has been diagnosed with NHL, proving your history of Roundup exposure is the single most important part of your legal claim. At Walch Law, our family has been fighting for injured Californians for over 45 years.

Farmworkers: It’s Easy to Start a Roundup Lawsuit — Your Immigration Status Doesn’t Matter

As a farmworker, landscaper, or groundskeeper in California, you are the backbone of our state’s economy and communities. You work hard every day, often in difficult conditions, to provide for your family. The last thing you should have to worry about is whether the tools of your trade are making you sick. Unfortunately, for thousands of workers exposed to the weedkiller Roundup, a diagnosis of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) has become a tragic reality.

If you are a farmworker who has been diagnosed with NHL after using Roundup, you may have heard about lawsuits against its manufacturer, Bayer/Monsanto. You may also feel that seeking justice is impossible because of your immigration status, language barriers, or fear of retaliation.

Pesticides and Autoimmune Risk: What a New RA Study Means for Roundup Users

For years, a cloud of concern has been growing over the long-term health effects of chemical pesticides. This issue has been brought into sharp focus by the massive litigation surrounding Roundup and its link to non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Now, new scientific research is adding another layer to the conversation, this time exploring a potential connection between certain pesticides and a debilitating autoimmune disease: rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

A new study accepted for publication in Arthritis & Rheumatology on July 16, 2025, has found associations between exposure to specific agricultural pesticides and an increased risk of developing RA. While this research did not find a link between glyphosate (the active ingredient in Roundup) and RA, its findings are significant for anyone exposed to agricultural or residential chemicals. It highlights the critical importance of understanding exactly what you were exposed to and how to document your health history—principles that are at the very heart of any successful product liability claim.

California: Why You Shouldn’t Handle Your Roundup Injury Claim Alone

If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) after using Roundup, you may be facing the fight of your life. Amidst grueling cancer treatments and mounting medical bills, the idea of seeking justice from Monsanto/Bayer, the multi-billion-dollar corporation behind the weedkiller, can feel overwhelming. You might see news about large settlements and wonder if you can simply file a claim yourself to get the compensation you deserve.

The reality is that Roundup litigation is one of the most complex, science-heavy, and hard-fought legal battles in the country. Attempting to navigate this process alone against a defendant with virtually unlimited resources is not just difficult—it is a near-impossible task that puts your right to fair compensation at extreme risk. At Walch Law, our family has fought for injured Californians for over 45 years. We want you to understand what you are up against and why having an experienced legal team on your side is not just an advantage, but a necessity.
