Montana Law

Montana Personal Injury Laws & Deadlines

Montana follows a modified comparative negligence rule, meaning you can recover damages even if you're partially at fault, as long as you're less than 51% responsible. The state has a three-year statute of limitations for most personal injury claims under Montana Code Annotated § 27-2-204. Montana also caps non-economic damages in medical malpractice cases but generally allows full recovery in other personal injury matters.
