Where would my case be heard?
Idaho has documented PFAS contamination at Mountain Home Air Force Base near the city of Mountain Home in Elmore County. Communities surrounding the base have tested positive for PFAS in drinking water. Idaho's agricultural regions also face potential biosolids PFAS contamination from farming operations.
Idaho personal injury claims are governed by Idaho Code § 5-219(4), providing a 2-year limitations period. Federal PFAS claims proceed in MDL 2873 (D.S.C.). Mountain Home AFB in Elmore County is the primary military PFAS contamination site in Idaho. The city of Mountain Home relies on groundwater sources that have been tested for PFAS contamination from AFFF operations. Idaho's extensive agricultural use of biosolids creates additional PFAS exposure concerns in rural communities.
