Statute of Limitations
Montana: 3 years from discovery (Mont. Code Ann. § 27-2-204)
3 years from BIA-ALCL diagnosis or discovery of BIOCELL connection
Where to File in Montana
Montana has a 3-year personal injury statute under Mont. Code Ann. § 27-2-204 applying from the date of discovery. Montana plaintiffs file in MDL 2921 in the District of New Jersey. Billings, Missoula, and Great Falls cosmetic surgery practices placed Allergan BIOCELL products during the 2005–2019 period. Montana's 3-year window means BIA-ALCL diagnoses from 2023 onward are within the limitations period. Women in Montana with recalled BIOCELL implants can be represented through our national MDL practice without travel.
