Statute of Limitations
Mont. Code Ann. § 27-2-204 provides a 3-year limitations period for product liability personal injury claims. Montana courts apply the discovery rule, tolling accrual until the plaintiff discovered or should have discovered the mesh-related injury and causation. No statute of repose applies. Montana's rural geography means many mesh claimants traveled significant distances for their original hernia repair and may face similar challenges obtaining specialist revision care — a factor in damages computation.
