Statute of Limitations

3 years from discovery of injury and PFAS connection
Where to File in Montana
Montana personal injury claims are governed by Mont. Code § 27-2-204, providing a 3-year limitations period from discovery. Federal PFAS claims proceed in MDL 2873 (D.S.C.). Malmstrom AFB in Cascade County (Great Falls) is the primary military PFAS contamination site. The Air Force's own study found that servicemen stationed at Malmstrom had testicular cancer rates 3.7 times higher than age-matched national controls — one of the most compelling pieces of epidemiological evidence for PFAS testicular cancer causation in a military population. Great Falls-area residents who consumed PFAS-contaminated water from Malmstrom AFFF operations have strong exposure and causation arguments.
