Where to File in Montana
Montana has a single federal judicial district — the District of Montana, with courthouses in Billings, Great Falls, Helena, Butte, and Missoula. Montana follows a modified comparative fault system (51 percent bar) and does not cap compensatory damages in product liability cases. Montana's rural population distribution means most litigation is centralized in the Billings or Missoula divisions.
