01 · Your filing deadline
What is the deadline in Maine?
Maine has a 6-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims under 14 M.R.S.A. § 752, one of the most generous in the nation. The discovery rule applies to toxic exposure injuries, providing substantial time for AFFF exposure claimants to file. A lawyer can confirm yours.

Deadlines vary; a lawyer can confirm yours. An older diagnosis or a past filing window does not, by itself, establish whether you have a claim.

Where would my case be heard?
Maine has documented PFAS contamination from Brunswick Naval Air Station (now closed) and multiple agricultural sites where PFAS-contaminated biosolids were applied. Maine has adopted some of the most aggressive PFAS regulations in the nation, banning PFAS in products by 2030 and setting strict drinking water standards at 20 ppt for six PFAS compounds.
