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?
Montana has confirmed PFAS contamination at Malmstrom Air Force Base in Great Falls, which has operated AFFF fire training programs for decades supporting the ICBM mission. Communities near the base in Cascade County have documented PFAS in groundwater. Montana's 3-year statute of limitations and strong environmental protection traditions support AFFF claims.
