Why quick action matters in Montana
Montana generally allows three years from the date of injury for most personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits (MCA 27-2-204). Claims against the state or a local government follow special rules — they must first be formally presented under the Montana Tort Claims Act, and damages are capped by statute. And whatever the deadline, evidence fades fast: skid marks weather, video gets erased, witnesses move. This is general information, not legal advice; a participating law firm can explain the deadlines that apply to you.
